See the website HERE (http://www.japshow.co.uk/).
Advance tickets are £15 for the weekend, £12 for sunday. There could well be a £1 club surcharge on this to cover paypal and postage costs!
Interlec plans to take back the fastest UK VR4 title he 'leant' to BDA!!
There will also be displays, cars, girls, shiny things to buy and possibly a spot of drinking. If we are lucky, the BBQ will be a fantastic success once again, with the re-appearance of Scooby_Si!!
I'm sure there will be some people camping and some staying at the Ibis in Wellingborough, as before! Please sign up and state your sleeping place of preference below! (If anyone wants to camp but doesn't have a tent, put your names down as campers - we have plenty of sleeping space between us!!)
IF YOU WANT ADVANCE TICKETS THEN YOU NEED TO PAY NOW!!
As before: paypal to pete@clubvr4.co.uk or cheque to me. £16 for a weekend pass or £13 for a sunday only. Sat only tickets are not available in advance. If you haven't paid by friday 3rd June then you'll be buying tickets on the gate! One ticket needed for each adult.

tell me about it , thats why i'm bringing cat along . that and the fact she owes interlec 10quids worth of cleavage for the ride in his car (covers the cost of nitrous) mind you if he has full tank(s) it might be 50 quids worth after a few runs down the strip :thumbsup:

Come on boys and girls. Sign up here. I will need to book stand space, so don't leave it until the last minute. You don't need to pay in advance unless you want advance tickets with this one, so no cost up front!
I don't want to book a stand that is too small. I need to know!!

Regarding the strip - Rubber bands?..... Pray tell..... /yes

I intend to try and make a home made mod to get some more air through the engine bay to the air filter. I have noticed that there is a considerable difference in acceleration in the morning when the car has been run from cold and the engine has warmed up, on the first charge from the lights.
Once I go through a town or village the engine bay warms up with the stopping and starting and the acceleration drops off quite a bit. I am going to get a heat shield for the air filter but I am also looking at ways to draw more air through the engine bay without letting in too much rain water when its pishing down and without the need to vent the bonnet (yet).
I have seen a variety of ideas from club members for pipes leading from the grill lower down and I am contemplating something similar. No rubber bands involved at the moment though :D
Mmm I'll get back to you - need to talk to the boss :rolleyes4 /yes
Sorry you'll have to count us out of both days :embarasse It's fathers day weekend and we are out and about /yes but we may aim to be "out and about" round Northampton :rolleyes4 If we can make it we'll pay on the gate save buggering about :happy:

There's a shower room in the toilet block if you need it. I went in there once and one of the showers showed me the script for Hamlet it had written.... Not that I'm saying they needed a bit of a clean last time we camped or anything....... :inquisiti
In fairness, they looked loads better when we went again in September, but we weren't camping then.... :rolleyes4

this is the reason we aren't camping , if it was just me and the missus then it wouldn't be a problem , but with 2 young kids you can't be too careful . i'm not slagging the pod off or anything but the last thing they are worried about is wether the showers are up to scratch
