danny allen Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 GTI FESTIVAL Santa Pod Raceway, Wellingborough, Northants. NN29 7XA Sunday 5th JulyContact: 01279 72 52 52www.vwaction.co.uk Welcome. So we are in recession. Worse than that, we are in the biggest slump since the great depression. What better reason can there be to get away from the rest of the world, and enter, even for a short time, the world of the 2009 GTI Festival. Thousands of like minded enthusiasts, traders, auto jumblers, club line-ups, and the best quarter mile dragstrip in Europe. For those of you who came to the GTI Spring Festival, we’re hoping to see you back at Santa Pod, because we assume that you, like us, must be serious VW enthusiasts. The GTI Spring Festival, in case you weren’t there set a new standard for the year, with the Show and Shine full to bursting, with a new record of 48 separate clubs in the club display areas (call 01279 72 52 52 to book yours now), and hundreds signing on to run on the track. We’d love to see similar numbers this weekend, because the clubs, sprinters, and show cars turning up in numbers really make for a special event. For many people the single biggest reason to come to the GTI Festival is the drag strip. For most of those people, it’s because for a single payment of £25 (or two runs at some other shows) they can run on the strip all day long. We don’t mind if you haven’t done it before. Just go to the signing on office with your driving licence, and say you haven’t run on the track before. They will be helpful. That’s a promise. You can also talk to the officials in the staging lanes. They will help you too. We don’t mind if you have a stock 1 litre Polo, or Lupo 3l. (or a Seat Arosa, come to that... all VAG family welcome). Your car is not too slow for you to have fun on the track. We don’t mind if you need help with the startline procedure, or even the timing lights explained. You will get the hang of it. Just don’t be bashful. It is fantastic fun, and a completely different experience inside the car. If you are considering entering the FREE Show & Shine (please do) be sure to get there early if you can. We endeavour to keep the area open until midday, but when it’s full, it’s full. We trialled a new system, awarding a Top 20 across all marques and models, and we are doing similarly this weekend. And a final note to anyone entering and not winning. Thank you all for showing your cars. There are cars highly worthy of trophies that unfortunately leave empty handed on occasion. There is no perfect system, but be assured, the quality of your cars has not passed us by. We will have some ‘Promoter’s Choice’ trophies at this and future events, which will be in addition to the Top 20 awards and awards for 'Best Paint', 'Best Engine' etc. Clubs need to call 01279 72 52 52 for club stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
