Thanks folks
That's great news!
I'm attending an initial meeting next week with the potential organisers. Already interested in what is still a tentative idea are the groups necessary to make such a thing happen i.e. local politicians and so on.
Strathaven is ideal because there are already two potential venues, the first being the park which has loads for non-car people to do from a miniature train via boating to putting and so on, plus a proper cafe and toilets. It's also right next to the town centre.
The thinking behind this is that the Chatelherault show near Hamilton has been cancelled at short notice twice in the last two years and there are rumours that the excellent balloon festival may be no more. Therefore, one or two "slots" may be instantly available.
If it's going to happen it'll be done properly and I'm very grateful for your responses which will help in pitching the idea. I'll find out where the land lies and post as much information as I can over the next couple of weeks.
I hope to be in a position of enough influence that wedge-shaped cars are given the star treatment and most prominent display.
On the competition front, one potential organiser would like to investigate the possibility of maybe an autotest or mini sprint or whatever, but I'm not sure about the health and safety and motor sport authority implications of that. Does anyone know?
Thanks again
Graham
PS Knockhill - only a fool would go round there in their much-tuned 16-valve TR7 road car without taking off their anti-brake-dust dinner plate things from behind the wheels. That'd be me, then. Not recommended.
