Price on the day.
With 30 cars confirmed the price will be £35 for non-members, and £30 for WYIOC members.
Looking forward to a fun and safe day, and a couple of tasty burgers

Oooh, another nugget of information. Anyone making their own way there please watch your speed. The N. Lincs Police and (s)Camera Pratnership are very vigilant and often have patrols out, especially on the M180. The main convoy will be adhering to all limits en-route.

Top day, great fun, superb company and with shredded tyres for lunch, what more could you ask. I'm battered and bruised and never stopped smiling.
Big thanks to Sticky for helping with tyres etc and a great run round in the Pug, hope its going to survive mate. My necks ok so no litigation .
Thanks to Simon as above with tyres etc. and cheers for camera mount, well pleased
Everyone there a big thanks from me, especially the girls, old and young.

Big thanks to all who came and made this as good a day as all the previous Blyton's. It's you lot coming that makes it fun, so long may it continue. Special thanks to the Gazeebo crew for feeding and watering everybody, and the pit-kids marshaling the track entrance. I hope we can convince a few more Scooby owners to come along in future as this day was always intended to be for club members to learn about their cars and develop their abilities, and at a fraction of the cost of normal trackdays.
PS - Did anyone leave a red Arai helmet behind ?

Just a quickie from me for now, as I am being forced to sit and endure a certain Ms Kiera Knightly on telly for the next two hours (Sometimes life really sucks )
Big thanks to all who mucked in and got involved both in fornt of and behind the scenes.
Thanks to all the passengers for keeping sane
Big thanks to 'our kid' for the 7 laps in the Evo (Why the **** did I ever get rid. PROPER car. Full opposite lock drifts for as long as you want, on demand, and NO use of the handbrake. Ask Si.)
Cheers to Andre for the cracking close 'racing' as usual, and for picking up the pieces when Superpug got binned.
...which brings me on to...
She's damaged folks. Her pride has taken almost as big a hit as her front end. I've not had a chance to have an in depth look, but it looks like it's o/s/f suspension and all that stuff that holds the wheel on that's taken the majority of the impact. On the face of it I reckon £30 in bits and a couple of hours work. Not bad considering.
Exhaust needed strapping back up twice, and she's started to cut out sporadically, think it's fuel related, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
Oh, and I killed 2 tyres stone cold (Blowout) dead
But, as ever these days just get better and better, so the biggest thanks of the day have to go to Dave (Corradoboy) for the top organisation. Thank you. And sorry you didn't get to take her for a spin, blame Frosty. He kept grabbing my knee when we were going sideways (80% of the time) and this ultimately led to the twatting of Superpug. But at least we missed the concrete and steel marshall's post.
To all... Thank you for making this one of the best days of the year
Sticky + Superpug (Comatose, but on the road to recovery)

Spread the word and let's get it back to being a day out for the WYIOC, lots of them. Being forced into going 'shopping', football, and not wanting to damage your car are NOT good enough excuses. We need a new club policy whereby non-attendance at Blyton sees your club fees double

Just a quick post to say a big thanks to all for making the day happen, and be possibly the best yet
A massive thanks goes to Dave for doing the organising for the day, and keeping it all running smoothly, cheers mate
From me . . the biggest thanks goes to Stickys brother, cheers for letting me drive the EVO over there, and have a few laps in it
Having never driven one, it was a great experience, and many thanks mate, even if you have cost me about £15k to go buy my own
And as for the passenger laps with Sticky in it . . foo me! You're right, EVO's are better than scoob's. End of.
Sticky, whenever you want a hand to get Superpug back up and running, let me know and I'll be over
Just sorting through the 700+ pics I took. Will post a selection up in another thread, but if anyone wants any more of their cars ( or Hi Res version's) , PM me and I'll see what I have
