There is no camping at Castle Combe anymore.

Show starts at 9am and will probably finish around 4pm, that's it.

As usual, the noise testers didnt have their db meter calibrated... TWUNTS!!! meaning my friend who drove down because his trailer was let down got their and turned away... when cars were going past and on a drive by test the cars quieter than alot of cars which went round.... one particular sticking in my mind...
bloody power hungry arses, the db meter at combe reads close on 10 over what i should be. Last year i had mine tested there and apparently it was at 98 when iv had mine tested at rallies before at 88.... they also dont even know what half a meter is!!! testing it too close and... all i can say is what a jobsworth rat bastards

I had a fabulous time at Castle Combe yesterday! :gimme:

I arrived at about quarter to 9am and by 10 past, I was being strapped in Bill Richards' Roundnose racing mini! I had a amazing few laps, and must say it was better than last year's laps! Thank you so much Bill, professional as usual, and providing impressive racing to watch all day. It was so wonderful to see so many people signing up for the charity runs, I don't think I saw any race start without Mighty Mini's or Bill out there with passengers. I hope you all raised plenty! :proud:

The racing was fantastically thrilling as always, was so pleased that there weren't too many incidents, appears more near misses than anything! O_O The autojumble was bustling as well as all the stalls, and it was lovely to see so many clubs stands this year.

Many thanks to those who approached me and introduced themselves, it's always lovely to meet new people :D And thanks to those who came over to catch up ;D

I took quite a few photos, my main focus was the racing rather than the club stands, but here is the link, feel free to tag yourselves. Any problems with the link, then let me know and I'll sort it.

Looking forward to next year already!! :w00t:
