Hi Everyone. For some time now I have been interested in running a two day International Vintage Meeting at Presto Park, Norfolk, here in the UK. The 'Presto Classic' race meetings have proved extremely popular and tickets sold out soon after being announced on SF.
Having seen the entries from Bordeaux it confirmed my passion for these old slot cars that I used to race at Presto Park in the 1960's.
The proposed race meeting will be both 1/32nd and 1/24th with the same criteria as the last Bordeaux meeting recently- cars that raced at Daytona 24hrs and Sebring 12 hrs up to 1970, so many of you will already have the cars and anyway they are my favourites.
Having spoken to John (VFR750) I will run it to the same format / rules as other Vintage Meetings EXCEPT there will be no engine and boot / trunk detail required, as i feel these are slot cars and not static models.
The present club room will take 24 drivers max, BUT i have options for a second pit area and side retail stalls if the meeting is supported enough to warrant this.
There are excellent B & B's and hotels within walking distance of the club room and a Saturday Evening meal can also be arranged for those wishing to attend.
Please give me your thoughts as at the moment this date is free of any other known meetings in the UK or abroad.
I have started the thread to see what interest i have from the UK and abroad.
Thanks for your attention. Mike (Presto Park)
