martin_b Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 https://en-gb.facebook.com/TheHotrodHayride/ http://hotrodhayride.co.uk/ Ive been told by my club, that you may be asked at the gate if you're a shooter, and that they are expecting 2000 extra visitors on site for the show.

I was there Friday and Saturday, it was a very busy but fun. I will however try and avoid it in future, too much beer and lack of moral fibre on my behalf 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_b Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 I had a good look round, What was slightly worrying was the smell of petrol that seemed to be everwhere, and some of the For Sale ad's seem to have IMHO rather optimisitc prices! But then american cars aren't my thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then american cars aren't my thing.. Yes, I noticed the petrol smell, I put it down to poor tuning and inefficient engines running overly rich. Yes, £25k for a scabby wreck! Oh well us poor Northerners must get by with an' old bike and whippet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20series Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 They have been having their annual rally there for years, it fell at the same time as the NSRA meeting for a few years but they moved it earlier as there were too many people on site and it was considered to be a bit dangerous.

Deserttech Europe Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 This was its first time back for years and it was great fun, didn't interfere much with shooting (we even had a marriage of shooters on Stix) and was brilliant for the NSC and the clubhouses. Great time with some lovely people passionate about their hobby, Ewen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorg Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Could not agree more with the above comment. I had an evening walk over Stickledown and the rest of the camp last night and was amazed at the total lack of rubbish. Between the 1200yd firing point and the 1000yd firing point, baring in mind this was solid with campers I found 3 small plastic bottles and nothing anywhere else. Much less than the Imperial. Great weekend looking forward to next time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_b Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Just as a complete contrast to the hussle and bussle of Saturday I'd booked a 300 electronic on Century this AM first thing and I was the only one on the entire range, I think there was someone on Stix and 2 or 3 on short Siberia but definatly more staff than punters.
