Is anyone here going to the Belgian Bug Show this month? I hadn't realized it was moved from Spa to a new Location. Does anyone have any idea what the turnout might be over the weekend?  The organizers were really kind at let me have a swapmmet plot at very short notice.  It's my intention to sell at the swapmeet and it's a 3000km round trip to do so?  Any Info Chaps  |

i like areas like this more than racetracks like SPA . It is more compact and you do not have to walk far . And you don't have to drive uphill Udo |

Is there space in the big tent if needed? I should think I'll take about 4-5 metres? |

The last events was King Of Europe. If you go on there website and check the time, they do in rear wheel drive a 8.8sec  http://www.kingofeurope.net/2008/images/others/streetRWD.gifSo, it seems to be a good track. Russel, do you plan to bring a gasser to the Bug Show? |
