Elan 50th Celebrations Silverstone Classic
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 9:36 am
I've started this thread as a follow on from the "All Elan Race at Goodwood in 2012?" thread, as it is increasingly looking like the Silverstone Classic 20-22 July (http://www.silverstoneclassic.com/page. ... 91A449D6F2)
will form the main focus for celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Elan.
Silverstone will provide us with a good deal. We get to show off our cars to many other classic car enthusiasts. We should have an Elan only race. We should also have a dedicated parking area for Elans only. We also hope to have a CLES presence to act as a focal point and meeting place. The date is good for summer weather (we hope) and the location is as central as it is possible to get. The Classic is also a great event so there will be much to see and do.
At this stage we are still talking with the organisers and making arrangements. However, I believe it would be prudent for us to start thinking about what we can contribute to make the weekend special. Certainly it would be good to get an indication of those who would be interested in racing there; it would also be helpful for anyone to volunteer to help us out!
One final point, if any listers from other parts of the world would like to attend, perhaps some of us on here in the UK would be willing to help with travel and accommodation, in a spirit of Elan friendliness!
Please feel free to comment or suggest ways we can make this a superb celebration.
