PPC in the Park 2010 - May 1st
Is anyone interested in putting together a stand of 300s for PPC in the Park (at Mallory Park) this year? We had one last year, shared with Turbobricks, and it was an excellent laugh...especially those of us who camped. Unfortunately, the buggers are charging £5 a night for camping this year. I'm sure it was free last year.
The cars need to be performance orientated, really, to go on the stand...so engine-swapped (but not *too* many F7s?) / modified. We had a nice spread last year, including Joni's 360 on sidedrafts, and Andy's 360 on Megasquirt. The closing date to apply for a club stand is 6th March. There's also track time available at £20 for 15 minutes. I'd like to take the 343 out.
What do we think?
cheers
James

I fancy going, but no performance mods means I'd be car park boy.

I'd be keen... would even wash the car.

Re: PPC in the Park 2010 - May 1st
I don't hate F7s...I just think we shouldn't have a stand full of them!
I'd be pretty worried if an F7R *didn't* make more power than my B200. Bet it doesn't sound as nice though
cheers

I've heard you muttering about a change of direction, but no specifics. I have a theory...involving a relatively unusual number of cylinders...

I'll make it although my dissertation hand-in is May 5th! I wouldn't want to miss out on this though, I'll polish the engine bay especially I promise My car could be a novelty because it looks 100% standard?
Re: PPC in the Park 2010 - May 1st

I'm up for this, I'll be redblocking with forced induction but not sure how many valves at this stage.

Count me in with the F7R
and possibly one other (depends if he gets his engine swapped!)
