If nothing comes in between I will be going. But it's only a 45 minutes drive anyway.

It's not too far from my home,but i'm not going.
It's on a speedway circuit,so the track is a banked oval.

Sprints are very hard to do..
I know it's not that expensive to book for them.

Wish it still was at Landgraaf tho.
That was a great location and loads of people came..

So,no sprints and just a bit of slalom now..
I went 2 years ago,what a disaster it was,parking was a mess (no separate place to park if you wanted to go sprint or slalom..

Also it is very small,about 2 football fields.

Better save the money and get some goodies @ FordFair instead

Yes, hotels are quite a bit cheaper in Europe.
If you are going to the European Ford Event,also go to the Nurnberg ring.
Then it won't be a complete disapointment.
(I did go to the year meeting in Lelystad,that usually is quite busy too,however this time there were not much visitors..)

If you went to the event in Landgraaf,i can imagine it was good.
I went years in a row and always had a good time.

Just want to warn you that is now much smaller and less action.
