Awesome idea for a meet. I got kicked off the beach there a few years ago in my 940 after a couple of sideways moments and a perfect donut (the beach was totally empty). Got a bit of a telling off by the beach warden who claimed I had been doing handbrake turns. At the time the only reply I had was 'I didn't touch the handbrake'. This seemed to infuriate him...
