Discussed at the Brighton meet, I'm definitely along for this, it warrants a thread!

Basically it's a quarter mile drag sprint along Brighton seafront, open to both cars and bikes. You can watch for free from the road above Madeira Drive, or £10 (kids under 14 free) gets into the paddock to see the cars up close.

A bit of history about the event
Speed trials history

Details from the Brighton & Hove Motor Club and timings;
Brighton Speed trial event details

I'll start a list;
1) HoveDan (plus father and my 2 kiddywinks)
2) Surfer69 (assumed!)

Parking will be fun, any ideas Ian?

We're definately up for it, won't be able to bring the Coupe as it's slightly stripped down at the momment having a re-spray.

We have been before and parked at the marina car park and walked back to the event but you need to get there early.

That is the plan. Am still expecting a few more names to confirm on this one.

I'll try to be there if possible!

If I make it I will be parking in the NCP near Churchill Shopping Centre as I have a season ticket. I would NOT recommend it for anyone else though as it is very expensive (80p per 20 minutes up to a max of £20 for the day)

I'm not aware of any such plain between the vengaboys favourite holiday destination and blighty Marco?

Unfortunately I'm now not going to be able to make this, due to cousin flying in from Australia so have to do the family reunion thing that weekend now rolleyes

If you can organise this amongst yourselves folks, and Roedean cafe would seem a good meeting point. But in true dragons den style, I'm out frown

biglaugh I was considering putting tints in, that apparently is just as chavvy.

new sound system will be awesome though, stealthy, all behind the originals.

would have be down to the event otherwise frown
