This looks like a great event. What kind of turnout did you have in previous years?

Thinking about running RCGT and F1.

We usually get about 40-ish entries which is perfect to get a lot of runtime, as well as put on a show for the crowds. Of course, the more the Murray'er....:cool:

BTW, here are a few more pics from last year taken by Dodgeboy....

No doubt about it - this IS a great event. Turnout was pretty strong last year, and that's without any "standard" touring classes. With the F1s and Minis (TCS and otherwise) gaining popularity as of late, I see the turnout being better this time around.
