PPC In the Park 2009 - Saturday May 23rd 2009

[E30BeemerLad]

Copied & pasted this from the PPC forum to gauge interest on here and the thought of possibly having a zone stand there like at the pod?

What do folks think?

Saturday May 23rd 2009

Mallory Park

PPC in the Park is Europe’s most exciting new event for car enthusiasts. No other show combines non-stop live action on the track, some of the most amazing cars ever built on display in the paddock, and the chance to see PPC’s very own 27-litre V12 Rover and turbocharged Rolls Royce track-day car in action.

You can become part of the action by booking track time for you and your car at just £12.50 per session (booked in advance). You can also watch the PPC £999 Challenge contestants battling it out to become the 2009 champion in the fastest car you can build for less than £1000.

Slightly more expensive is the Dakota jet-powered truck which will be firing up its monster engine with afterburner. Then there’s PPC feature cars, the PPC team and their cars (including editor Will Holman’s 5-litre V8 Capri). And PPC’s technical guru, Dave Walker, will be holding a live Walker’s Workshop demonstration.

To top it all we’ll be having a few shandys in the evening with a marquee and bar - so bring your tent because camping’s completely free. PPC in the Park is 2009’s must-attend event.

think i saw this in the mag.

might have to redouble my efforts to get the track slag ready for this.

thinking for a moment i have a terrible feeling this is the weekend my sister gets married.

[E30BeemerLad]

make sure you're on the stag night, camera phone + pished action = weekend free to go to this

[nickso]

the stag will be 600+ miles away, i doubt ill make that.

ill have to contract a tropical disease or summat. failing that i could always go check with my diary (the girlfriend) when the actual wedding is, ive probably got it all wrong.

[d6dph]

Sounds like another booze fest. Very tempting

[nickso]

i asked the diary, the wedding is in a completely different month, im in.

[Morat]

Sounds like a giggle, and a good opportunity to boost the E30s profile a bit.
Surely we could be in with a shout on the £1k challenge?

[Theo]

This sounds fun, I'll come along in the track slag.

[daimlerman]

Sounds like a fun day,when we get a next year's calender I will put it on.

[march109]

Sounds good, I'd be interested nearer the day.

[1an]

yeah i would be up for this aswell.

[stu_316i]

Sounds pretty good Ive spoken to a few friends who are up for it aswell! Could be my first meet

[Jhonno]

Sounds like fun

[tylerma]

very interested also

[E30BeemerLad]

This is only a couple of weeks before the Billing Councildrome meet, but it would be good to get all the wrong'uns together for a lash up.

I think those that are interested in going on track need to make contact with the organisers quickly as track time was getting booked up very quickly, may even be sold out by now.

Me, the missus and my mate will be camping ... saturday night.

I've not seen any details of what the saturday night entertainment is, but I'm looking forward to finding out!

[appletree]

There isn't any camping saturday night is there? Thought it was just friday night...

[Kedge]

Will have to get my arse over there since it only down the road, shame the moredoor won't be on the road by then so hope the sun is out for some roof down head scorching posing (if it's not sold by then)

[DRIFTBOY]

I've just checked the PPC forum, there is camping on saturday night and it's free!

I'm starting to think I'm cutting this a bit fine, my car is still a non-runner.

[DRIFTBOY]

Well my E30 still isn't running ( ) so I'm going up there in my mate's Peugeot 306 ( ), so I doubt any of you will recognise me, but five hours sleep to go and I'm on my way!

[Kedge]

Well i've not made, found myself working today, stuck in a nice windowless office while the sun is shinning outside

[gareth]

Just got back from this
'twas awesome! seeing the 27 litre SD1 and turbo roller on the track was funny! shame they didn't really 'give it some'

[E30BeemerLad]

a few competitors are moaning on the ppc website saying it was all badly organised

[gareth]

it cetainly seemed to be!

[hoshy]

So gutted I missed this - I knew it was yesterday but there was no way I could make it

Got any photos ??
