Hi guys, Wayne of Sideways racing has asked if we want a stand at this show.

Here's what he asked: I'd be keen on having ISOC represented at the Nitro Festival, so if you'd like to have a number of cars in the show just drop me a line. Sooner the better though.

 

Cheers,

Wayne

Nitro festival 2010, Boucher Road, Belfast Sunday October 24:

 

At a time of year when most things are beginning to wind down, Belfast’s central business district is about to go full throttle as the NITRO FESTIVAL roars into town.

 

On Sunday 24th October, Belfast Showpark on the Boucher Road will stage some of the best live motorsport action ever seen within the city. Top Rally Stars in their famous cars will combine their efforts to provide onlookers with a breath-taking display of speed and skill. Topping the bill are British Rallycross Champion Lawrence Gibson in the 6R4 and Mk2 Escort hero Wesley Patterson. Two men well associated with seriously sideways shenanigans.

 

Located right next door to the Charles Hurst complex, the walled arena will echo the sounds of Rally cars, Drift cars and an array of racing thoroughbreds. Such cars as the Metro 6R4, Subaru Impreza and Mk2 Escort have combined over the decades to produce that famous soundtrack of Irish Rallying; one that has inspired fans for many generations.

 

Nitro Festival will combine these great legends with the tyre smoke and flames of the Japanese Drift cars to produce a supercharged symphony of speed that will define the modern era. These machines will go head-to-head in an Auto Gymkhana style battle made famous by the Youtube phenomena that is Ken Block, in an all out attempt to claim superiority.

 

Adding to the action packed program will be the Blue Max Jet Beetle, with its 40ft afterburner lighting up the arena. The 2 wheeled fraternity will be represented by UK land speed record holder Jack Frost with his line-up of turbo charged bikes, including his incredible 700+Bhp Hayabusa.

 

Oval Racing will be well represented with Hot Rods, Formula 2’s and Autograssers. The ever popular Auto Test cars and the unintentionally comical Mini Moto racers will bring a smile to everyone’s face, plus there will be some light entertainment provided in the shape of Car Soccer, as seen on BBC’s Top Gear.

 

Providing the essential injection of street cred will be the various modified car clubs on display. This event being a showcase for all things automotive will let people see where they can find an outlet for their inner speed demon, in a safe and controlled environment, away from the public roads. This will be a rare opportunity for would-be street racers to interact with their sporting heroes as part of a cross section of the modern day scene.

 

This family orientated event has something for all ages. What better way to stave off the onset of winter blues than to blast them away with some hair-raising revelry. Doors open to the public on Sunday 24th October at 11am, with action continuing right up until 7pm.

 

It’ll be a ‘flaming’ good show!

CHANGE OF VENUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No this is not a joke, the venue is changing from Belfast to Nutts Corner, I know totally nuts but Wayne is going to send me the full details and I'll post up on here later. Times are staying the same I assume and there will be loads more room at Nutts Corner to let the rally cars go at full chat so all's not lost.

Not sure of the exact reason for the change, double booked or something but I'll find out soon.

Nitro festival is now at Nutts Corner Circuit.

 

The owners of the Belfast site have just gone into liquidation. This is a great move for us. No Saturday Practice needed now but all drivers / riders MUST be on site and parked up in preparation for the briefing at 10am sharp. Anyone in need of camping facilities or help with accommodation please contact Wayne: 07791976672

Guys need all names who is going to the Nitro festival for Wayne Owens. I have passed on details of who is going but only know Jake's surname is Gordon. ForkerJon and Andy Glanov so far your names will be on the list as per forum. It's sad that I don't know your real names but that's forums for you, at least Slutdog isn't going as that would have been funny asking at the entrance can you check if Slutdog is on the list please :-)

If you get back to me today I'll pass on your real names to Wayne. Also think Jake's mate is tagging along in an MR2 Turbo so have contacted Jake on Facebook for his name to. Wayne also says free admission for driver if your car is on show.

 

thanks

Daz
