Bookings are flowing in for our National event at Cadwell Park this July but there are still plenty of "slots" available on the track for Sunday. If you have never been on a 'Trackday' then this is your chance! It will be mostly cars just like yours with friendly drivers looking out for you. And, for members, at a knock down price. Her is a link to a very useful article for first timers
The Cadwell Park Operations Team have agreed to provide all the catering for us over the entire weekend including a Friday evening supper menu, breakfast rolls, lunch and the barbecue Saturday evening and breakfast rolls and lunch on Sunday. These will all be available for us in the clubhouse and surrounding terrace which have a splendid view over the track. The club bar will also be open on the Friday and Saturday evenings from 6-10pm. More details...
A number of businesses and Saab Specialists are looking forward to being with us on the event field over the weekend. Neo Brothers in particular are planning to field 6 track cars and have also prepared some commemorative Tee shirts which will be on sale, proceeds from which will go to the charity Cancer Research UK.
There is ample room for camping and parking up cars for display. One point that has emerged since our initial discussions with the Cadwell Park Team is that the paddock for camping does not have an electrical supply so if you are bringing a camper or caravan please make sure your batteries are fully charged or bring a generator.
Maps and guides for 2 self drive excursions are being prepared for visitors who wish to discover the lovely countryside, market towns, villages and coast of Lincolnshire. The northern route passes through Louth, then on to the Lincolnshire Heritage Railway and back to Cadwell via the sandy beaches near Theddlethorpe. The southern route heads out over the Wolds to the Lincolnshire Aviation Centre at East Kirkby the home of a magnificently restored Lancaster Bomber which on the Saturday will be performing taxiing displays on the runway. The cafe here is an accurate reconstruction of a 2nd World War RAF NAAFI canteen complete with Vera Lynn singing over the Tannoy. Magic! The journey home passes windmills and watermills so typical of this part of England.
In addition to all our activities the Javelin Car Club have booked the track on Saturday so there will be plenty of track action the whole weekend.
We look forward to seeing you there.
14 Ebor Saab members set off on Friday 10 May to make their separate ways to the assembly point at Gretna Green for what was billed as a Scottish Mystery Weekend, the mystery being only the organisers knew the itinerary. The mystery began to unfold on Saturday morning with a drive along gloriously empty roads under blue skies up into rural Scotland to visit the Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Temple at Eskdalemuir (nobody expected a visit the foothills of the Himalayas).
