splinter Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 Who's going To Rockingham Ovalfest on 9th 10th September? http://www.ovalfest.co.uk/ Hope anyone who is not going elsewhere can make it for this, and get as many people there as poss. If you've never been, its a fantastic venue also with loads of entertainment for the family and kids. Views are superb and the F1's will be hitting 100+, with the Hot Rods making about 115mph down the straight!! Smokin' brakes or what!! They missed an oportuntity to put the F2's out with the Superstox though, lol, and I take it they didn't like the idea of national bangers on the track Saturday events - National Hot Rods Superstox SCSA Cars Pickups Stock Rods Lightning Rods And Legends Cars Sunday events - BriSCA F1 Stockcars National Hot Rods Stock Rods Lightning Rods Legends Superstox Plus the King of the Rock Shootout Final (top drivers from each formula head-to-head) £5000 to the winner and if the racing does end up being crap, there's a new drive-in cinema, which you tune your radio into for the sound! Hopefully they wont be showing Days of Thunder! Eddie the Eagle, has offered to strap himself to the top of a car, on his skis ... to beat the 164 mph World Record for Skiing on top of a car!!, nutter!!

Tombo209 Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) ministoxs would be a laugh round there Edited August 8, 2006 by Tombo209
FireStorm Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 i'm there in support should be good after reading the reports of the testing days. I don't think ministox wold make it out the corner "rev wise" the f1's n f2's where running out half way down the straight!!!!!!
Magpye105 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 I'm hoping to be there, thats if I have managed to get my engines swapped over before then, as I am returning to Hot Fords the following weekend hopefully. See you there possibly
Kruiz 136 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 I am hoping to go but i have to fit a new gearbox to my dads (road) car, first.
splinter Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Posted September 11, 2006 Well it went as we all expected. Nothing spectacular, but I thought it was good to see none the less. Track was just too big for the F1's. Hot Rods suited it great. The last race "King of the Peak" £5000 was a complete farce when all but 2 cars either pulled off or broke down on lap one! ...They should have stuck them all in fast (reliable!) road cars, twin-engined go-karts, or legends! Incarace and Spedeworth help provide Rockingham with their biggest crowd in about 3 years, (which is sad for the place considering it cost about £50,000,000 to build!) An ok 'demonstration' but needs a purpose built short-oval!!
