Well, what can I say, you guys really came through didn't ya!
Can't believe the turnout in the end. Was hoping maybe we'd get 25-30 odd cars maybe (which i would have been happy with) but the amount we had was great! I counted from the balcony at one point 57 cars in the car park and parked just outside. There was about 4 or 5 that went over the course and got replaced so i'd say just over 60 brought a ride. People wise...well, the place was pretty packed and i think the staff at the Ace were very impressed.
Everyone behaved themselves, no misbehaving or burnouts or general loutish behaviour which was nice and quite befitting of the generally relaxed attitude this place has on a day to day basis.
I will call the Ace and thank them in a day or two, and - if everyone wants - try and secure another one for next year? Same time?
The weather was faultless, as was the company.
So, thankyou everyone. For the excellent company, the dedication to come from far away, the effort to even get there despite work etc, the good behaviour and of course, the rides. You have done HoTWire, Rmad, et al very proud.
See you next month!
** ps: have some pics **
In almost chronological order...
Early arrivals
The lesser spotted speedman...
Brian had been waiting for this for a while LOL...
From here i tried to take an individual pic of every car in the car park...

Managed to blag my way onto the roof for a few high shots...
