Mallory Park (PPC) 21 May 2011

I've got some details about the Practical Performance Car day at Mallory Park.

Have a read of this and see if anything interests you. I shall arrange things again this year but I'm going to have to be a bit stricter with the organisation to avoid being 'run ragged' over the last few days as I was last year. In fact the last paragraph of Louise's mail shot is quite true.

For the time being just post-up on here if you want admission tickets and track passes. I'll organise track sessions based on how many times folks want to be on track. I'll need names against all requests and Z Club Members get priority.

Hi Rob,

PPC in the Park is back at Mallory Park on Saturday May 21 and it would
be great to see the Z Club there again this year!

You already know what a great event it is, but here are a few reminders
of what is happening this year, if you don't already know or haven't yet
booked up ….
1. It costs just £20 to go on track - club members can all go out on
track together. Track time books out quickly – so book now to avoid
disappointment.
2. Clubs are allocated their own club space in the Paddock to park up
and hang out.
3. Take part in the ‘Club Challenge’. This year we are pitching club
against club – nominate your best driver to take part in the Autotest
and we’ll announce the winning club at the end of the show. All clubs
who pre-book bulk tickets get one free run – choose your challenger
wisely! The Autotest is just £10 for 3 runs – so why not hold your own
qualifiers to nominate your ‘Club Challenge’ driver?
4. Club members can finally put their arguments to rest – there is a
BHP competition to find who is running the most powerful car.
5. Be a part of PPC’s first ever ‘Non Concours’. The typical concours
is a parade of motor vehicles in which the car in the ‘best original
condition’ is given a prize. We do things a bit differently at PPC - the
winner will be the car that has the most amount of modifications - be it
home-grown, after market, or bastardised. Editor Will Holman will pick
the cars he likes the most – yes, it’ll be that arbitrary – not a
clipboard in sight.
6. Pre-booked tickets are only £15, including a free T-Shirt, for a day
of cracking petrolhead entertainment; watching all-day Track Action
(with hot rods, vintage cars and every type of car you can imagine on
track), burnouts, drifting demos, off-road action, show cars,
entertaining projects like fitting a jet engine to PPC’s Track Day Rolls
Royce and much much more.
7. Why not make a weekend of it? Camping is available on Friday and
Saturday night.
8. Finally – it’s great promotion for your club – you’ll get a weblink
on our PPC in the Park webpage & there’ll be coverage of the event in
the magazine too!

We know that running a club can sometimes be a bit like herding cats,
but if you get yourselves organised and BOOK NOW you might win a chance
to be driven on track in Charlie's 27 litre Rover. The competition ends
on Sunday 13th February - so don't miss out!

 
£20 a run is to good to pass up so put me down for two or three if others are doing them and an entry pass.
 
Hi Rob

Put me down for entry and track time

I probably won't be able to get again but hey ....whats money ehhhhh you can't take it with you (or maybe youv'e figured out a way Rob thats why your "carefull" :p)
 
can i have an entry and a track (but not an early one as i dont do mornings well)
 
Ok then, so far we have:


Entry Track

Rob Gaskin 1 ?

GTR-240Z 1 1

RobZ32 1 2 or 3

Skiddell 1 2

racer 1 0

John Dixon 3 1

Ianl 1 1

Zman240uk 1 0

Madmarco 2 2


I'm unsure about going on track yet because 4 days later I'm off to Spa in my 240Z and last year I wrecked my gearbox and holed my rad! :unsure:

Also if you have a look at this months PPC mag my car is featured in the advert - at speed with the FG bonnet bulging!

Edit: Oooops - my 'table' hasn't saved well! I'll sort it.

Steve and John - you're putting the pressure on me now aren't you, am I going to be happy in the paddock watching you two out on track :driving:?

Folks I'm going to take a different approach this year. Clubs don't get a discount this year and last year the aggro with the tickets spoilt if or me so I've decided to ask you all to book your own tickets on-line.

This way you can pay via Paypal and I don't have to pay 'up front' and recover money from you. Last year we bought a block and then people dropped out and I had to sell them to ensure the Club didn't lose money - a nightmare. Also tickets and instructions will come straight to you so I don't have to mail stuff - simples!

I've asked Louise if we can be allocated 10 track slots at approx 11am and 2pm, which she has agreed to. When you book you put Z Club in the Paypal special instructions section.

So if you can do that in the next couple of weeks and update on here I will see how things are going. Louise has asked me to contact her on 16 March to see how booking is going because she may want to 'open up' any of our unused slots.

The booking link is here:

http://www.ppcmag.co.uk/ppc-in-the-park.html

Prices are £15 entry, £20 track session.

OK?

I have booked 2 entries and 2 track time. Used my mastercard not paypal and left a message on the booking before the payment section. There is not an option to put special instructions on mastercard payment.
