So that we can put together a good plan for next year to make BigPower a great club to be part of and hopefully negotiate good rates for us all, what would you like to see in the events calendar ?

We have had a huge number of events this year and next year will be even bigger, hopefully expanding from the predominantly east of england base into a wider UK appeal. This is your chance to shape the future direction and activities so dont be shy to suggest ideas.

Drift evenings
Virgin track days
Sprints
Karting
Full Track Days
Sessioned or half day track days
Competitions
Ring Trips
Road Trips
Monthly Meets - in different area to Snetterton?
Social Evenings
Static Shows
etc etc

All ideas welcome :thumb:

Any idea put forward will be considered ....

Santa pod meets?

Perhaps a Run what you brung day so it's not that busy.

That's a very comprehensive list there.
Meets in other areas would be good as would some sort of social event....Based around cars / driving.
Santa Pod would be a laugh

Sounds like you have it all pretty much covered mate.

How about runs out on the road now and again to somewhere nice like the coast, i know we are mostly a track club but a bit of road driving would be nice with the variety of cars we have?

What you mean like the "ROAD TRIPS" listed above

For me I would like events that I can learn new skills on or improve my car further. A few ideas...

Driver training - or combine with some of the track events?
Car set up - combine static meets with cars set up sessions on the dyno or suspension alignment and corner weights?
The club already has authorized traders, but are there enough of us to swing discount nights like the machine mart vat free days they sometimes put on, just open to club members?
And of course plenty of Drift events so I can practice.

are there enough bikers for a BigPower bike track day?

Just picking up on one of the ideas ...Car Set up - how would you suppose that we handle that with regards to the varying makes/models of cars that people have? (i like the sound of this)

We regularly have weigh-bridge and noise test at our monthly meets. These have proved very useful.

Driver Training - is always on offer at our events 8)

Santa Pod/ qtr mile nights ... ooops - forgot that off the list

Bikes - not sure how many we have to be honest

yes meeting in different places might be a nice idea, every now and then.
