Filled out the booking form last night, paid my entry fee. Put date on calendar this morning and relised it was Fathers day. Asked my 6yr old daughter (tomorrow 14th) would she like to come racing for the weekend and camp over night. Once she had finished running around the living room, shouting "I'm going camping with daddy", my little poppet then replied " am I going to see you break your car again daddy, like you breaked your wishbone which made me laugh so much". Now where are those presents I have just brought her and I hope I still have the receipts.

looking forward to this event and getting back to old skool racing. Best make sure I have enough wishbones for the car and Gaffa tape for her.

[mattybucks]

Fathers day!! Wow I'm going to be in trouble. Oh well I'm sure it'll be a good days racing.

[mattybucks]

Just to clarify should there be enough 2wd & 4wd short course trucks we will run separate classes.

Hi Guys,

I've had a number of requests to either pay by cash or cheque for the event. By all means you can pay for your entry at any of the Telstar events, or by cheque via post. If you want to do either of the above just let me know.

Saturday night entertainment:

We are making enquires regarding having a bar on site, as well as a pig roast and music. We are also looking to host some fun games, so we all have a bit of a laugh on the Saturday night.

If this is off interest then let me know.
