Scrap what i said about Dan he's listed as a Roller. Apparently Nicky Simpson is going down in an XJS.

Some impressive tin listed on Arena's site including a Bentley Limo,a 52 Chevy,a pair of Caprice Hearses and plenty other yanks etc. Glads are noted by a load TBA,making it nice and interesting. The Continentals were listed as TBA last year which made for some epic surprises,this year there are a load of them down as Jags so you never know they may be surprising us again?

Must say though looking back in past programmes at what is booked,a lot of it doesnt turn up and never turns up at a track (or hasnt yet)

Thought i'd stick this up here as the majority of people on here aren't going so wont be arsed about whats going lol.

Peewee not doing it so list down to 97.

Everyone saying its up to 120 now but i'm not so sure. I'd be more than happy with 97 as long as they're split properly rather than trying to rescue the traditions of hundreds of heats, consilations etc.

Edit - there we are,104 booked now,not 120.

*139 Ian Knight - Surrey* - Granada Hearse
*160 David Patton - Ireland* - TBA
*222 Ricky Waters - Devon* - Ford Fairlane
*262 Buddy James - Devon* - Toyota Crown
*268 Buster Hutchins - London* - Granada Limo
*555 Ben Williams - Devon* - Cedric
*999 Paul Norman - Liverpool* - Volvo Estate

There we go,the man supposed to be racing a Volvo Amazon is now booked in lol Few extremes on the list,wonder if Matty's Jag survives Ipswich will he join them?

Darrel Page off the list now,couldnt get nothing and wants to save his Westy for next year.

61 not heading over now.

Not quite sure why everyone is slating to high heavens? £20 maybe? but who's fault is that? I'm pretty sure i posted on Ovalchat at least once how much it would cost if people didnt buy advanced!!!

I enjoyed it,maybe was a wee bit dissapointed early on,rain didnt help either but later it was pretty good,final was a cracker and allcomers and DD weren't bad. Thought it was better than my Aldershot trip earlier in the year and not many slated that.

Have to mention 192 Grgory de Luyck,17 year old,first ever meeting,jacks up and kills Chas Lee's P4 with a big shot,gets blown up by Turbo Tom length of the straight while still stuck in the back of the P4,pushes the P4 round the track and gets done again by a Glad. Pulls back end out for the Consi,does a Glad head on,about to back up and BOOM,Danny Webb steams him in what i thought was hit of the meeting. Gets back to the pits and some how manages to pull it! takes it out and manages to get a Glad before it dies.

Steeley and Danny Webb were the other two that stood out for me.
