JapFest Saturday 22nd May 2004
Castle Combe Circuit, Wiltshire

www.japfest.co.uk

This was a great event last year, even if the weather was a little on the damp side! I'm organising a Z club Stand again this year and have also invited the 300ZX forum guys n' girls and the 350 lot to join us. We are hoping to have a stand for about 30 cars with a gazebo (bring a chair), Tea and coffee (bring a mug) and general Z Club stuff.
If you are interested you need to let me know so I can get tickets and vehicle passes for you.

At the event there will be track time and if enough people are interested I will arrange for a Zed only session, what with the 350 gang it would be great to get the full spectrum of cars out together!! The track session will cost £17.50 per car.

For more info or if you want to book tickets aand/or track time let me know

Oh yes, am very interested! Bit of a hike for me, but fingers crossed I'll be there.

[Rob Gaskin]

Yes, I'm interested, especially if we can get a dedicated track session. It was very good last year. Track goers will need to remember Driving Licences in case they are asked for.

 

[Tony 260Z]

I drove back to Brentwood from Swansea at the weekend (been visiting in-laws) and of course went past Castle Coombe on the M4 on the way. It's a loooooong way from home! Blimey - better make sure the old girl is up to it!

 

[P.Nutt]

Do you have to have a fantastic pristine car to be on the club stand at events or can anyone go? Wouldn't want anyone looking down their nose!

 

[suzy]

every car is welcome! well every Z/ZX is welcome

This is not a display stand, it is more like Billing, an area within a show where we can all park together, socialise and have a bit of fun. There will certainly be no down looking of noses!

But I suppose if bits are likely to drop off maybe you shouldn't go on the track

 

[Tony 260Z]

Or have someone behind you "riding shotgun" with a poop-scoop!

Been there, done that, bought the rust-remedy etc...

For you trackites here is a map of the circuit, work your strategy out now

[Rob Gaskin]

For those with a quick car Old Paddock Bend is the one to be wary of, until you know it. Most people are wary of Quarry and the rest are obvious. Also overtaking is forbidden in the others but not OPB!

 

[STEVE BURNS]

bringing back to the top
come on you guys who posted you wanted track time book in with suzy before the places go and you end up disapointed

 

[suzy]

Entrance is free to Z Club members but I need numbers ASAP to book the tickets
drop me a line with your name, address and Z Club number,
suzy.huntley@bristol.ac.uk

I still have a few track tickets at £17.50 per car, this is for a Z only track session, let me know

 

[pmac]

Nobody in the Z club ever goes on a track(except Rob Gaskin) They all just say they fancy it. And nobody will ever commit to anything until the day before it is due to happen. Then the next month you get loads of new posts that say "We need more track days!"

 

[ben240z]

sorry will not be able to make it suzy for two reasons. firstly they will not allow my car on the track at track days cos it is running on slicks and not road legal. secondly I am possibly at brands hatch with the car on the nissan stand for that weekend. who says I dont do shows as well lol ben and dee

 

[suzy]

Sorry you can't make it Ben and Dee, hope to see you at a hillclimb or two this year instead.

who says Z Club members aren't up for track dayz??

The numbers so far are

3 x 260
2 x 240
1 x 280

and from the other forums

7 x 300
6 x 350

I still have free entrance tickets and passes for the Z Club stand for Z Club members

Track session £17.50 per car

drop me a line for either

I still have some spaces left if you want to join us on the Club stand.


P.nutt and Status do you still want tickets?

 

[paul-zed]

I would love to join you on the stand, but I dont think my 240 will br finished in time. So I'll have to come as a spectator, look forward to seeing you all there.

 

[suzy]

We may be Zedless as well!!

If your 240 happens to come together closer to the time drop me a line and I'll see if I can still get you on the stand.
see you there

 

[marcusrogers3]

Can you put me down to come, hopefully my car will be road legal by then. Wont be doing the track thingy as being an early jap spec auto my gearbox will probally blow up.
