Sadly, it reflects on the lack of development and enhancement of this forum that this is the first post on the NSRA's biggest event of the year.
I had a banging weekend and cannot express my thanks enough to all those involved in making it what it was.
Sure, not everything was to my taste, but there was plenty that was.
Special thanks to Hannah, Glyn, and Colin for ensuring that prizegiving ran smoothly so everyone could get home at a reasonable time
...but is it steel?
It would be much better if every weekend attendee with a show car could stay until Monday morning,no need for a bar or entertainment on the Sunday night,that way all the the paying joe public could see all the show cars and there would be no rush home.it was such a shame the prize winners were picked before the Sunday as the gravel road divided them,there were definitely some show winners on the left in my opinion!! We had a great day Sunday as was at retrofestival with a lot of other nsra members on the Saturday,pity the shows clashed again,thanks to all the crew for putting on the showOriginally Posted by Dave
Sorry for the lateness on this, but what a cracking weekend at the Supernationals.
Thanks to everyone of the committee, blue crew & helpers that make this happen.
A little less dust next year hopefully, & a bit cooler......
As for the forum Dave, things are happening, but at a very slow pace I'm affraid......
Who cares If It's glass or steel, It's still a hot rod.
Fantastic 4 days. Gteat too catch up with everyone bar Pete from the pubshutters
Hopefully progress with the forum if we can get it moved from the server it's on to another and let VBulletin progress with thier work
We had a fantastic time just went too quickly! Saw lots of people but still couldn't possibly chat with everyone. A big big thank you to the committee, blue crew and all of the helpers. It's a small army that puts on this event.
Our part was only a small part. It seemed to go fairly smoothly. Not sure it's ever been early before! HUGE thanks to Lee Picton as well for being dragged in to help, couldn't have done it without you!
The judging panel had a near impossible job. They spent 3 solid days looking at cars and deliberating. There will be very few people that saw more of the cars then the 5 of them. They WERE still judging Sunday morning as well and their list of winners changed several times from a provisional list. There are ALWAYS going to be cars that are missed I'm afraid. This is no different to previous years with participants votes. The standard of cars just gets better and better.
Everyone who attended deserves an award in my opinion. The hours and hours spent in the garage, the long journeys and the troubles that were had. Every car has a story and any car that made it is a huge achievement.
Here's to next years and whatever the dressing up theme will be
Zetec powered pop ON THE ROAD!!!
Just beginning to recover from a great weekend, as always! Thanks to all who helped to put it on! Liked the use of the stage and screen for prize-giving, but can't understand why that's never happened before. Was saddened to be told " the prizegiving is great without John Price prattling on". If only they knew the truth!
Eleccy bikes on the banned list please, especially those being ridden by younguns practicing their stunts. Air displays were a nice touch. Too much entertainment in my view. Who could honestly have taken it all in? Friday was always a chilled, quiet day, but alas no longer. Noticing some vehicles, principally a gang of mopeds, going around, indicative of the worrying trend of the Supernationals going down the route of the 'Nats', party etc foremost. Noticed the party tent has grown from its modest stature to a full on marquee, and well attended. Felt like a rod run of old, which was nice. Liked the bar being fully open sided, never understood why it's not always like that, weather permitting. Sad to see much of the Facebook reports of issues, including serious dog bite (but subsequently shown to be stupidity of the bitten person, but sad nonetheless), passing wristbands over fencing, kids on bikes, 'public' disrespecting property, lack of advance clarity over the judging and show areas. But nobody died, I hope! And we wouldn't be happy if we weren't unhappy about summat, right?
Looking forward to next year already.

Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.
I'm sure the committee will take on board all the positive & negative comments on the forum & social media to make next years Supernationals even better.
Hopefully less dust & a bit cooler would be very nice as well.
Who cares If It's glass or steel, It's still a hot rod.
Not forgetting to have all the cars on the show field at 10am before the letting the public in.
I only came for the day on Sunday but thanks to all for a fantastic show.

thanks john the cakes were luvverly
Event was excellent, the new committee seem to all be working together very well together which is great to see.
Toilets were superb this year - absolutely spotless at all times.
Showers good, but the shower people need to be told that 15 seconds for a shower push button is stupid, it should be at least a minute. Having to constantly push the button just to be able to shower is daft.
It all seemed very well run, so thanks to all involved.
Every man dies, not every man really lives.
