Just about a month now to Donington, so just a quick reminder that the advance ticket offer ends on Wednesday 23rd April 2014.

If anyone needs any additional infield passes for vehicles please let me know and I can arrange it.

Fingers crossed for some decent weather again :D

You just inspired me to get on with spending the money - 3 day tix/passes booked!

Need to now get on with putting that new fuel tank on the Z!

Nice one Richie, nice season opener hopefully :thumbs:

Indeed, plus, seeing as we are originally from Derby, rather convenient - weekend at the parents, sub-20 min drive to Donington, etc.

May to June is quite busy actually - Donington, Japfest, Tatton. Reminds me actually - are you available for Tatton Jonathan?

Mike Robertson has asked me if there are any more Scottish Z owners heading to Donington, I know of Andrew Muir of course, but any one else from north of the border making the trip down?

Would love to come down but the Z engine is still in bits..... maybe next year.

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick last minute reminder that the ticket deadline offer for Donington is tomorrow, Wednesday 23rd April at 5.00pm, so if you've not got a ticket yet and plan to attend you need to be sorting it out sharpish :) so click on the link below and use the code ZDHF14 and don't forget to request an infield pass with the order.

Once the deadline closes I will still be able to get additional infield passes for anyone who needs either a spare or an additional pass, but just let me know in good time please, no good asking the day before, sorry....!!

There are a couple of cars I can't wait to see myself and I am sure there will be something interesting for everyone, as well as some great racing and a stunning paddock.

If anyone wants any ​help or info regarding the weekend just get in touch, thanks and see you soon.

Jonathan.

Another brilliant day's racing and socialising. Met a name from the past Glen Valentine - quite a character, good company.

Great Z cars there again and weather superb.

I haven't taken any photos so hope others have!

Well another fantastic day! We must congratulate Jonathan on organising the weather, site location and racing so well!!! Jonathan and his family (what commitment from them!) have done us proud again - a HUGE thanks from me :bow:

I have enjoyed every minute of this 'gathering' and stayed right to the end to witness a photo finish in the last race (90 mins!) between two AC Cobras (not Kit Cars but the real thing). I enjoyed meeting up with Kevin Irons again today and I got Dan in his Hybrid' to come along too. That car would be sooo quick around Donington - I'm working on him!

A few pics from today.

Thanks Rob, we've just got home after a fantastic weekend.
Couldn't have asked for better weather, more wonderful and interesting company and the best variety of cars you'll see all year, and that's just on our pitch. We are all completely knackered now so will post more later and get a some photos up, but thanks to everyone that came along and made this event such a great few days.

Great day, all be it I arrived late.. Thanks for the shout Rob. Some tremendous looking cars and had quite the spirited drive out. Never missed a beat and can't wait to trial her around the track ;)

Looked like a great event. Shame I couldn't make it but I needed to spend some time working on the car. Glad to hear your cars going well Dan and cant wait to see it in action.
