Just an idea. Skegness Stadium

[K17 CAR]

Good evening guys, I am a new member here based near Skegness.

 

I operate the transponder timing at the stadium, Rob the promoter as put a lot of effort into updating the stadium one of the latest been a hospitality unit, it's not silverstone prawn sandwich spec but it's a nice indoor covered area with viewing balcony.

 

Thinking out loud would anyone be interested next summer run out to coast, skeg vegas fish n chips and a meeting at stadium, the suits not stupid money to book and I could probably get a deal on it too.

 

Good idea, bad idea? Some of the unit can be seen in photo upper left.

Here's a better view of the unit

I wouldn’t mind watching the cars bashing around, subject to when it was.

I fancy the sound of that too Jon ,Is it normally an afternoon or evening ?

I  make a few run outs  towards Skegvegas  through the year , I occasionally pop to see the woman that does the any size number plates at Ingomells  market .

I'm guessing a Sunday afternoon would be best in summer months, there are regular meetings Tuesday & Thursday evenings but could be a grim drive home in dark as they don't finish till 10pm ish.

 

Once calendars finalised I'll happily put avaible dates up and see if there's interest.

 

I could easily organise & reserve a parking area to keep everyone together.

Sounds like a great idea.

Long way for many, but well worth getting a couple of dates up to assess commitment from us.

It just so happens we have four holiday cottages we rent out, a lot of BriSCA teams stay with us for the big meetings.

 

Rob is doing the F2 qualifying rounds next year aiming too qualify for the world final which is at Skegness, I have been roped in on the spanner’s but when a 8 times world champion asks its easy to say yes.

Sounds like a great idea, I'm sure some of the Yorkshire lot would be up for it.

Could be intrested too.

I went many years ago when on holiday in the area. I thoroughly loved it!

[Alan France]

I spent holidays in Skegness and Mablethorpe as a child. I’m not sure your location Skeg Vegas does it justice K17 CAR.

 

Anyone remember George Polley and his Ford Anglia?

[Ian Hart]

Great idea.  Count me in.
