Despite being announced less than a week ago the All Granada Meeting which takes place at King’s Lynn on Saturday 19 August continues to excel all expectations and there are currently an incredible 198 Granadas booked in. Bookings are still being taken for Mk 1 & 2 Granadas but and Mk 3 Granadas are now going on a reserve list. This is currently made up of 135 Mk1/2 Granadas and 63 Mk 3 Granadas.
The King’s Lynn pits can accommodate a maximum of around 170 cars. With this meeting having a very specialised car we have deliberately overbooked it as we do expect some degree of drop off closer to the date of the meeting.
We are still accepting bookings for Mk 1 & Mk 2 Granadas but any Mk 3 Granadas will have to go on a reserve list (already 5 on this which are not included in the 198!)
We have been pleasantly taken back by the amazing interest in this meeting and would like to thank everyone for their incredible support.
Going ahead with this meeting which just keeps getting better, we are looking at doing the following;
- As said above any more Mk 3 Granadas will have to go on the reserve list but we do not want to turn away Mk 1 & Mk2 Granadas so will continue to accept bookings for those.
- In June we will contact all drivers booked in to race and will ask them to reconfirm their bookings and also provide a picture of the car they are looking to do this. Any driver who fails to do this will be removed from the booking list.
- Once the above exercise has been completed we will relook at the numbers. Should more than 140 Mk1/2 Granadas be reconfirmed as racing at the meeting, this meeting will then be for Mk 1 & 2 Granadas only – possibly with the addition of a restricted number of Junior Bangers to help give more repair time. The Mk 3 Granadas would then have their own meeting the day after on Sunday 20 August where we would be able to take more than the 63 we currently have confirmed.
- Should there be 139 or less Mk 1 & 2 Granadas reconfirmed as racing this meeting will remain as it currently is with Mk 1 & Mk 2 Granadas together with the Mk 3 Granada drivers who already have a booking.
- Once this has been confirmed (which will be middle of June) tickets for the meeting will then go on sale.
It is unbelievable how this meeting has developed from a facebook status from 334 Stephen Court where we were then promised 25 cars to what it has now turned into!
