Default Who's heading to Croft this year?

I'm planning on heading to Croft this year for the weekend, not sure about going on track (yet), just wondered who was planning on heading there, be it for track or just for general weekend/day out to spectate and bullshit.

Be good to meet some faces off of here! So who's making the trip?

Will be there both days, if I can get my track car built in time I'll also be on track both days too. Not too hopeful TBH as it needs a LOT doing to it

Deffo, for a hassle free weekend I KNOW I should take the beemer, but I'm dying to take the saph and get as much miles on it before then as I can to iron out any show stoppers.

Yup that would be cool, I've been following it on here so would be good to see it up close!
Wish I was more close by, it's a 560 mile round trip and I want to take the saph but don't trust it yet, gearbox is fucked, it's supposed to get a std 4x4 box fitted next week to get it mobile again, but I still have time to do a RWD conversion which is at the back of my mind, need to decide asap.

Rog, I'll be heading down with Chop in the 3 door. I think our plan is to leave here late Friday night/early Sat morning. What time were you thinking of leving here at?

I'm trying to convince Iain to trailer down his Escort and get it on track

How are you feeling today, hungover?
I was going to head down on the friday as early as possible to make the most of it and also take my time getting there. Really want to get it all fixed this week and iron out the small annoying bits, also I will probably have to get new wheels too.

No feeling too bad at all. Got home and had a few pints of water before heading to bed. What about you - fuzzy head at all?

The earliest I'll be able to leave on the Friday will be 5ish, as I will definitely have to be in work that whole day - I guess we could catch you up though .

Casse - what car will you be taking? I heard what happened about that second EsCos

I'll leave whatever time everyone else is! Defo taking the Monday off this time as I was knackered last time. Better if everyone leaves at same time, better crack!

I'll be taking the second Escos.

Got a feeling that I'll be on a stag that weekend, but if not, then I'd be up for heading down.

See you all there I hope If I still have the Escos then I might go up in that. Better still will be taking the Silver Evo, but not sure if I'll be able to sort a quiet enough exhaust for the car

Will try, as I like using all of the track (and some of the pit wall eh Chop )

Being a northern lad, and helping to sort the 1st ever croft RSOC show, i know how much effort goes in, and Croft provides the best track (RWD 3rd gear smooooooooookin onto the start finish straight and pretty much most of the track!)
0-60 and nice traders,

defo there (albeit in my A4 ) this year again!
