Fiesta Revs Day

Here is the info from the original post:<br><br>-----------------------<br>Date: 20/10/00<br>Venue: Alconbury USAF base, nr Cambridge (top of the M11)<br>Event: Revs' Fiesta Day<br><br>We want to cram as many Fiestas in one place at one time, to have some fun on a track, chill out, chat to their mates, and generally muck about in their cars - for a 7-page feature in Revs.<br><br>Alconbury is the perfect place - it's a decommissioned American air base - which means 13/4 mile straight (no gravel - dead smooth, regularly swept and £50,000 per year spent maintaining it), with corners at each and plenty of twisty stuff in between.<br><br>There is nothing to run off an hit - no tyres, no armco... just lots of mint tarmac.<br><br>The day will go like this: turn up to the main office for 9.00am briefing, then out onto the track for the rest of the day. We'll split into 4 groups, giving us 15mins per hour to go mad on the track, followed by 45mins to cool off and talk about what you've just done.<br><br>Dave Clark will be on hand for personal tuition/car set-up.<br><br>Food takes the shape of a McDonalds, located at the circuit entrance (honestly!).<br><br>All this will cost the paltry sum of £20 per car, payable either on the day (cash only) or, preferably to reserve a place, by cheque (payable to Revs Magazine, sent to Revs Magazine, Bushfield House, Orton Centre, Peterborough PE2 5UW).<br><br>We recently ran a GTi-R track day to 3 Sisters race track in Wigan and got 77 cars... and 3 Sisters is basically a overgrown kart track. A Revs Saxo day at Alconbury last month got 60 cars... I'm sure Fiestas could beat that....<br><br>Any questions, either from you or from Fiesta owners in general, please call Issy on 01733 465507.<br><br>Alconbury is located at the top of the M11 - stay on M11, turns into A14, follow signs for Peterborough (not Kettering) - take last exit from A14 before A1 - signposted Alconbury. You can see the McdDonalds on the right hand side in a strange, UFO-shaped building. Up slip road, right at mini r/bout, over A14, across r/bout, up to main gate...<br><br>You don't need a helmet...<br><br><br>It'll be a memorable day.<br><br><br>Simon Hargreaves<br><br>----------------------- <br><br><br>

Hi can anyone give me directions or some idea of where to head. Cannot get into the original post(cannot find server). I am coming from Kent and would like directions from the M25. PLEASE!<br><br>Plus when I do turn up, If one person rips the piss out of my car --------!! Yes you will recognise it(Si), it will be the one with the arches and sills a different colour to the body. This is hamerite to cover the rust before the bodykit goes on, NOT SNOW as some people think.<br><br>
