VR6OC Go Karting show down.

This has been a great success at every National Meet held at Billing and has provided some great photos, talking points and shown up some true racing skills or lack of skills. Not too many rules to this just be sensible and safe - it is a non contact sport.... apparently! Crash helmets are supplied but you can bring your own if you have one, gloves are NOT supplied.

There are fast kart's for the adults and kiddy kart's for the kiddies so fun for all the family. So why give it a go never know might win yourself some thing as there will be a prize for this too.

Tug of War.

Does what does on the tin, Two teams at each end of the rope! We'll try to even out the numbers depending on who turns up on the day.

There will be 3 or 4 rounds.

1. Boys V Girls.

2. North V South.

3. Owners of Forced VR6s V Owners of N/A VR6s.

4. Golf Owners V Variant Owners.

Twister Mat

Remember the old days when you used to play twister with your friends or family .... well we are bringing it back. There is no limit to how many can play at once, but more than four is a tight fit. This should be a funny game and we'll find out who's the most flexible club member! Fun for all the family and all ages.

Evening events.

Big screen entertainment

Big screen entertainment is the. Home made films (not that kind), photo slide shows and music visualisations.

'A virtual Nordschlief challange'

The virtual Nordschlief challange where the fastest lap wins. One car will be raced picked by the mods, so its all down to skill and judgement or just how much you can push your virtual car.
