OK...

The next one is on July 24th, but I'm looking to see if we can get something closer to AtomX. July 24th is a Saturday, so I guess quite a few of you could make it (I can't - I'll be in Z - bugger). And they allow spectators at a tenner each so you could bring the family:

Spectators
Spectator admission is £10 and includes light refreshments, a souvenir programme and a VIP goodie bag. There are covered and heated areas to watch from and the day is enjoyable for family and friend of participants!

Very nearly... Maybe I missed it, I couldn't find any dates on the site.  Were this to line up with Atom X... hmmm, could be interesting.

If I was over there, it would be a no brainer -- just hard to choose which one.

You get to do ALL of them!

As I suspect you may have guessed I am all over this (as the kids say these days).  It can only be fantastic after my last driving experience a few weeks ago when I paid for a pax lap in a NASCAR, what a let down.

Every single one of those photos makes me laugh!!  If I was over there, it would be a no brainer -- just hard to choose which one.  Probably the double-decker because that's just awesome, but taking one of those back seats on the office desk looks like it might be kinda thrilling, depending on the speed.

Love Edd China -- he was great on "Wheeler Dealers"!
