Mate, I'm not even a maybe (unless that lotto win comes through!), but kudos for stepping up and organising something like this, and I hope it gets off the ground and you all have a great time.

You are calling it a AFF Event, so is it possible to pay our money to AFF account and they pay for the day? this would take a lot of weight off your shoulders RC, and they take Plastic ,and that should make it a lot easier for people to pay ...Just thinking aloud

Can you get your mate to join here and post his interest?

Just a small thing to let Tibbo know that he is definately interested...

I think Tibbo is going to try and sort something out here, I'll have to check my PM inbox to see what he told me.

I've gotta organise time off for this, this is my one motor racing event this year, since I can't go to Indy because I have to be office b**ch all of October...

Well Im all for it, its just that my suspension will have to wait another week. Worth paying just to not have to sit on the stupid bum numbing grandstand seats. I cant sit properly for days after sitting on them.

It really is. Just shows how uninterested people can be.

Could also be that it's February, and the event isn't until June, so people may/may not be able to go.

I might just find out about that. Give us a few minutes...

EDIT - They still have some left, but are selling quickly.

Let's really start pushing this idea...
