What were your Croft highlights? Best stand, Best track car, Best show car????
Following on from all the bad press we're currently recieving with regards to the camping etc; I thought i'd get an idea of what was good and what stood out for people.
What was your favourite show car, track car etc etc.
I thought the time attack evo was awesome and went past me as if I wasn't going forward LOL
Charlie shaw's drifting was mint on the saturday and I think Marts (redrsmk5) escos looked really well presented for his first concours outing.
All in all, I think we pulled off another good show weekend.

just finding my feet
i loved the laied back non unwelcoming attitude this show had, this was the first show Elise went to and she loved it
missus wasnt impressed though as she was cold pmsl
the track action was MINT though, nice lay out of cars and good equal drivers in all classes i thought
not overpriced either for what you get too !!!!

the highlight for me apart from my own cars being reliable on track was a passenger ride in Jims rs200 rep, awsome power and handling even felt faint through hawthorn bend at one point..
don't think he was overtaken by anyone during any of his sessions over the weekend!!

Everything
Weather wasnt bad ( could have been a lot worse )
Food , not bad quality and a fair price compared with most outdoor events
Track action , far to many great cars to mention
The people , great to catch up with those you only ever see at shows , Dave ( yum ) and Helen , wasnt much of a chat but still good to say hello
All in all a fantastic weekend for me and joanne , the laid back attitude at croft is what makes it so special , and that is only possible because the event is so well planned and the people running the show keep there eyes on the ball to keep it running like that all weekend
Track car of the day for me was Dave escoss 4x4 , passing me on the outside while im struggling for grip on the rear wheels and trying to keep the 500 pointing in the correct way he comes screaming past on the outside with all 4 tyres smoking , quality ,
Perfect
Many thanks to Durham and derby

wow,well it was my first croft show and i only did the sunday. up at 4 drive there get on the stand bufty the car up and then enjoy one of the most easy going shows ive been to.
everyone seemed to be in a great mood.weather was windy but good mostly and i didnt feel tired from scorching sun so got to enjoy the track.
best show car, that was very difficult.as strange as it may sound i saw a very minty looking petrol blue escort cossie on one of the stands that tbh looked like it wouldve shown up some of the concours entrants even thought it was only on a local group stand.
best track car,has to be the grey time attack evo. m400 evo.awesome car,so,so fast and my god what a sound.it really did make me think about selling the escort for one i even said it to dave moss.
best show stand,couldnt say really.all were well presented.
all in all a great show only marred by someone scratching my a pillar on the esc cos. looks like someone was leaning on it with a ring or something 
but all in all well done people

thanks Paul, i thought i was a bit close to you at the time lol, thats why i came over afterwards just to say sorry.
the car that sticks in my head was Scotts car,the orange 205, we both came onto the pit straight and both go for it and i honestly thought i was not going to get in front,that car was going for it.
i too was impressed by Martins car,though i did not look at the other cars to be honest,too busy in the pits.
all in all, it was a very good weekend....thanks everyone.
