Hi folks

Just thought I would mention that this great event is on again in a couple of weeks time.

the VHRR site indicates that the has been 550 + entries and will be conducted over 3 days. Practice & qualifying on Friday 7/3 and a 33 race program over Sat & Sunday.

Large overseas contingent again with 32 F5000 and ex Formula 1 cars in a combined race.

Should be a great weekend. If you have never been to this meeting - its well worth the
journey.

Cheers JR.
