Are the official photos going to be posted online for all to view.[/QUOTE]



To answer you question the offical photos are in the care of the club photographer.If you were in attendance of the BKV at the weekend and are aware your car was photographed or was possably photographed in the areana then please PM me with your car regrastrion, colour and model so it can be easly found in the 100's of pictures that were taken yesterday and over the weeekend.I can then contact you as to what photos are avalalble as soon as possable.

It has been nice to read through many of your possitive comments about the BKV.As i have marshalled at the event for a lots of years and been in attendace of it since around 5 years of age.It has grown in size over the years and takes a lot of organisation that is done through peoples good will and love for the club.xx

Reading through all these positive threads, I am now very disappointed I did not make the effort to travel from the bottom of England to Yorkshire.
Will make it next time, to where ever though.
One consolation though me not coming, it allowed someone else to win my class!!!! LOL
Great pictures.

Regards
David

I was in the same position for at least 30 minutes. Then the third 240 arrived and my dreams of glory were shattered..........I will wait till the judges are approaching next year and then feverishly clean my tyre treads with a toothbrush while SWMBO inspects my work - that ought to do it.................

It was all good fun. I was purely making up the numbers. When I am fully happy with the mechanical side I will start on the bodywork.

Anyone who hasn't been really is missing out on a fantastic atmosphere and camaraderie.

We had another "Pre-BKV party" at the House of Bricks, but one year we must make it up there for the whole weekend.

cheers
