It’s getting close!

The latest entry is the eyecatching 1922 ABC Brooklands of Adrian Bradshaw and Anita Lee that made such a splendiforous racket going up the hill at our inaugural 2011 Pre-War Prescott on its maiden trip after restoration. Adrian and Anita are also bringing along their 1926 Austin 7 Chummy for the Sunday Navigation Rally. And did we mention the 1942 Dodge Weapons Carrier and the 1929 military Austin 7 just booked in?

2nd July 2015 It’s getting close! All the tickets for entries received up to last weekend arrived in London from Seattle by FedEx this morning and have already been posted on to everyone. You should have your tickets by the weekend. About a dozen more sets of tickets have been posted directly since then, and will continue to be handled in this fashion right up to the absolute drop dead date for advance bookings –TUESDAY 14th JULY. If your entry arrives after that date, your tickets will be waiting for you to collect at the gate. If, however, you want to just turn up on the day, you will be most welcome, but you won’t receive your free climb for advance entry, and any remaining climbs (if there are any), will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis.

So it is NOT too late to enter! But if you are planning to, and haven’t yet, NOW would be s splendid time to do so, and it would save us a great deal of last-minute admin. Also note thatwe have just THREE MORE SLOTS on the Sunday Rally/Scenic Tour! If you intend to enter either the Navigation Rally or Scenic Tour on Sunday and have not yet booked – GET IN TOUCH RIGHT NOW!

Entries are still pouring in thick and fast via the website and by post to Colin Lee. Also, more traders are booking in for Saturday, and more are warmly invited (but please get in touch SOON!). The latest is Graeme Simpson of Motor Racing Tradition – purveyor of fine motor racing and aviation photographs – 1900 to 1960. See his website at http://www.motorracingtradition.co.uk/.

Wed have been asked, in view of the current weather, if there any track rules, such as having to wear long-sleeved tops and trousers. The answer is that the only thing you have to wear is your safety briefing arm band. And perhaps sun cream? Keep up the sun dance – it is definitely working!

Latest numbers as of noon today – a record 135 entries, 384 climbs pre-booked (about 450 is full capacity, so we’re getting there fast), 134 for the Saturday evening Battle of Britain Victory Party, and a record 37 for the Sunday Rally. It’s going to be a stupendous weekend – don’t doubt me!
