Was seriously dissapointed this year tbh.
Do they even consider that no one cares about "built not bought" and that those with track time need to be near...well...the track entrance??
(no fault of staff though, you guys worked hard to get everyone on our garden sized patch and next to our "premium viewing area")
I would have been very interested in built not bought if the cars were as such, some of the cars there had thousands of pounds wourth of wheels, air rides and IIRC one had a retrimmed interior. I highly doubt it was done by anyone at home on their driveway and certainly (IMO) it's not in the spirit of built not bought.
Are you however suggesting that everyone who is going on track throughout the day (40 cars per 2 hr session and 20 cars per 20 min session) which is 240 cars get all the spaces near to the track?
That would leave some club stands very depleted and totally strip clubs of cool fast cars, furthermore half of the fun with going on the track from the club stand is everyone sees you going out so gets a viewing point, you've got lots or willing mechanics and people to store your kit while you are out on the track.
As for the stand I really would love to know how every year we get such a small stand (in area per car) compared to others. I appreciate that especially with our clubs dwindling numbers we don't necessarily command a premium space but the track noise did get a little tiresome in the afternoon.
