Sounds good to me, unfortunately I won't have a car, maybe a chassis by then, which would mean I would have to go in my Motorhome and do the camping package, that would however give me certain advantages over a Stratos, fridge full of beer, bed etc, might even take it round the track :-)

Before i book my camping, just want to check that my car has been pre-registered.
If it has that means (if i have read it right) that i need camping only on Fri-Sat @ £8 per night (no passenger)

Just had an email from the event organiser to say this is now cancelled, shame was looking forward to it. They are now offering a club stand at the Classic & Retro Action day on the 28th June, if anyone is interested.

Sando
10-06-2014, 21:50
Yes Dave had notification though today to confirm event cancelled.
options for exchanges and refunds to those who have already purchased admission tickets, track sessions and camping packages are being made.

Contact the organisers on the same details as the additional bookings

"If you were planning to attend KitFest OR if the date was not viable and you’re interested in another option then, we do have the well-established Classic & Retro Action Day taking place on Saturday 28th June to which we would be delighted to welcome kit car clubs who had pre-booked for KitFest. If numbers allow, we will set aside a dedicated KitCar Zone as part of the event".
