Anyone going along to this, have been with various clubs in the past, but will have my new toy by then, so wondered if anyone else was going ?

I go to pretty much every action day (and a lot of other Combe events), although usually not to display the M.

Are they better run than they were when I last went to one in the late 90s?

i.e. do they actually enforce the rules, and send home knobs who ignore them - or teams who use it as a cheap test day for their non road-legal racers?

All the ones I’ve been to in the last 10 years have been pretty well run. You inevitability get someone with less talent than, er, enthusiasm!.... but they mainly crash into the scenery rather than someone else.

Anyone know a car wash near by? Got no time at all between now and then and it's very dusty! Anything in Melksham / Bradford on Avon / Chippenham that's trustworthy and decent?
