It's at donny or silverstone nearer the end of the show season I think. Went a couple of years back, was not bad.

Re: do we as a club go to Trax?
date confirmed as 6th of september.
been to it for the last 5 years or so now either showing or just for a walk around and always enjoyed the day so would be good to go again and be part of it. (plus get cheaper tickets and inside parking for showing! lol)
http://www.traxshows.co.uk/
should be all the details there.
is there a list somewhere on here or shows the club attends etc?

Thanks for that.
Basically any events the club are attending are in the
'Events' section. If there are any local shows to you, or are any bigger shows that are not listed feel free to add them. IMOC - winners of JAE best overall club stand 2010, 2013, 2014 & 2017!

Re: do we as a club go to Trax?
We used to go (indeed I have been with IMOC on a stand I arranged). But it got a big of a rough show to go to, full of corsas and the like, so I packed it in. Perhaps it's improved now...

Re: do we as a club go to Trax?
Thought this was a massive chav fest? Its got a huge crime problem from what I have heard. Cars get broken into and stolen in the car parks, or being stipped of bits in the car park, or being low loaded away. Oh and 2 years back wasnt some poor girl also raped in public in the car park?

Re: do we as a club go to Trax?
Indeed - do some searches and I suspect you will turn up a fair few bad experiences. Its obvious alot of nice cars are going to attend and those cars are going to be parked for hours on end unattended in a field and people never pay any attention even if they think something dodgy is going on - so ripe for theft.
I remember the time when I stupidly locked my keys in my car and broke into it myself in the middle of the Castle Combe Rally Day(no one, looked at me or challenged me and asked what I was doing) - guess the same thing applies to Trax if you saw a guy jacking a car up in the middle of the car park and removing his wheels would you think he was nicking them or say anything?

Re: do we as a club go to Trax?
I have been a few times - there is a bit of something for every one at trax but I do have to admit that the trade stands are more aimed at the "younger element/maxpower brigade" BUT the track time isnt too unreasonable and can be pretty amusing to watch. Plus you get a session of drift racing to watch thrown in as well.The 0-60 is cheap to enter and is a bit of fun.
In summary its an interesting day out that can be fun if you dont take it too seriously. That said if you have a low tolerance of the younger generation and 7 million watt stereos and bass speakers stay away.
I have always been able to tag along with one club or another so have parked in the club areas and have never personally had any problems with wheels etc. being stolen - infact I have been suprised at the interest people young and older have shown in my mr2 especially as it isnt anything special to look at and I am a grumpy old man. I cannot comment on the security of the "field parking areas" as I have never seen them first hand.
