Back from the weekend. What a great event! A very large attendance, probably rivaling a BTCC meet and I have never seen so many families with young children at a race meeting. Scalextric missed a trick by not attending with a demo track. Brands really pushed the boat out with the USA theme - loads of sideshows for all the family - monster truck 'Swamp thing' doing its party piece, Great stunt driving show, car displays everywhere with various movie themes - Blues Brothers cop car, Back to the future DeLorean, Ghostbusters ambulance, Bullit Mustang and Charger and much more. Then there were the funfair rides, wall of death, Star Wars storm troopers controlling the crowds and posing for selfies. Not to mention the hot dog eating contest and Elvis arriving to sing the anthem on the back of a Kenilworth truck!

The Whelen NASCARS certainly looked and sounded the part and the Elite 2 race on the Saturday was an absolute cracker. Overtaking on the Indy circuit is not easy in any car but Lasse Sorensen  came from 26th on the grid to win the race - no mean feat in these huge beasts and to do it in just 30 laps is nothing short of amazing.
