Ya I know, perhaps in the future we'll do one across the pond. I posted this one here because there actually are a lot of people in the US that read oOple myself included. I'll be sure to post pictures anyway. Thanks

Looks like a great event, we should do something outdoors with the vintage cars in the uk

Always a bit of a shame though to go for 27T limits, doesn't do the old cars justice

It all depends. Stock racing here was always much more popular then mod, especially when the cars didn't hook up like they do now. I made it stock just for the sake of keeping 15+ year old cars in one piece. The track is also indoor so no real need to run mod in there.

That looks like a fantastic track with facilitys to match ( that would need serious investment over here ).

Just needs a bar and then life would be complete

That is brilliant! A vintage national.. We got to have it here in Sweden too. What a kick to se some Hornets and grasshoppers battling on the track. Or some old AYK´s or..
