Rotorstock 8 20th August 2011

As many can imagine leading up to R7 I was not sure if I ever wanted to even think about another Rotorstock, BUT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After seeing so many people turning up and enjoying R7 yet again there will be a Rotorstock 8
 
This came about after seeing not only many many of your great cars turning up, the guys from Europe exclaiming that this IS their Rotary heaven each year, as nothing else comes close to Rotorstock throughout Europe, plus mainly due to a new open minded regime over at the RX8OC, it was great to see members from there finally getting their hands dirty at Rotorstock and getting out there both on the sprint track and the strip AND HAVING FUN, which is what Rotorstock is all about.

On top of this we have had very good reports out there from Japanese Performance, Banzai  who finally portrayed Rotorstock in exactly the light I wanted as an event, in that we stage Rotorstock not only for our Rotary cars, but also all other Japanese cars as well, plus it was great to see the  wonderful coverage from speedhunters.com giving Rotorstock an excellent pictorial report across the planet.

As normal I wait a couple of weeks after the event to find out Santa Pods feedback, and yes, they still want to operate Rotorstock on behalf of Mazdarotaryclub for another year and have even set a date earlier than normal.

One thing we are still debating about is do we put it back to two days as a few have asked including the guys who drive in from Europe each year

As you will see from the already published calendar , //www.santapod.co.uk/calendar.php “Officially” the next day will be a RWYB day and the Monster Truck Nationals however if you want to we can convert R8 into a two day event -------------------------------------thoughts please

Standfast work taking me away from the situation I will see you at Rotorstock 8!

If you are likely to have a large contingent from Europe (and I am still working on persuading a few people south of the Alps, like Rei99 for example) it might be worth doing this as a two day event perhaps including a breakfast run for those staying overnight?
 
Personally I would like to see/(try to) do more drifting and I would certainly love to see 2 sprint circuits going on at the same time to cut back on the queues.
 
I am glad you will be having R8, it was such a happy event for everyone who attended, including the Santa Pod guys, it would have been a real shame to scrap it!!

Clive - would it be possible to have either a time slot on the existing sprint track or a second track (wishing) for a bit of drifting, there are a few purpose built rotary drift cars that are all now competing in BDC and would put on a good show and I\'m sure will happily give passenger rides.

Let us know your thoughts

Thanks

I\'ll be there, rs7 was a great day out

A bit closer to the time I\'ll try to push the event on mx5nutz a bitmore as well. See if they want a stand or whatever.

I Also agree with the others in this thread that drifting is visually impressive, and iwhether it\'s a professional demo or the option to let everyone go and have a go, I think it should have more representation than last year

Fingers crossed for the weather!!!!!

I want to talk to Santa Pod to try and run the sprint track differently so we can run at least two cars at a time so while I\'m at it I will try and sort this as well, after all we do try and make Rotorstock as "Multi Event" as possible to interest every one.
