Modified Madness with drag strip, drifting + more 16&17

This year’s Modified Madness will be on the week-end of 16th & 17th July (camping available Friday and Saturday nights). A small group of us made it up there last year and it was fantastic! See last years post for comments and photos: http://www.gtouk.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=47733&highlight=madness

The address is: Baker Barracks, Thorney Island, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO10 8DH

And you’d be helping raise funds for Help for Heros .

It doesnt look like their website is up and running yet but here’s last years: http://www.modifiedmadness.co.uk/

I’m definitely up for going again this year (and starting to save my pennies for more drift experiences - last year once was definitely not enough!). Ray is also up for it. It would be great if there were more of us going this year … its really worth it.

A few youtube videos to wet the appetite for MODIFIED MADNESS 2011

I love this show

makes JAE look dull and boring , anyway tony and bee said they will be going to when i spoke to them at last essex meet and also bob. So thats final fling and funky skunky and whoops forgot malcom mentioned he’d be there to mdlife crisis and we may even see Bianca! Now all we need it John And Jennt the two Aussies!

Ray

THIS SHOW HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED

Quoted from the organisers,

"It is with great dissapointment that we have to announce that THE MODIFIED MADNESS SHOW 2011 HAS BEEN CANCELLED. This is due to circumstances totally out of our control is is solely down to THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE and in particular The Defence Estates who own the land. It is their view that “A Modified Car and Bike Show is NOT benificial to or in the best interests of the MOD”

This has been challenged by the Two Regiments on Thorney Island as they made a lot of money from the previous events, that benifitted both the regiments and the Local Community. The Defence Estates are having none of it and have CANCELLED THE EVENT refusing to issue us a license for using the land for the event.

WHAT! I’m shocked and gutted to hear that! Insane that they cancelled it!

Now i am pissed off!

yep, me too Ray!!

You and good few others Mart,
i bet the Mod Mad organisers are fuming to as its probably too late to find another venue.

jesus this would probably have been the best show of the year… i think i’ll look around for some explosives!

Ray

WHAT!!! man! this is like 10 miles away from me! what a shame!

Agree with you there - fine ■■■■■■ time to object … when its too late to find another venue. Plus the army guys had a brilliant time themselves last year. Its beyond me what the issue is about.

Think i’ll email the Modded guys see what they think of the MOD silly decision. As far as i could see the Army were more than happy to host the event and it was money in the pocket of their own charity . Does the MOD be-grudge that now to.

The fact it would be not costing the MOD a penny and even goes towards less overheads for them in the long term i guess their just thick!

Ray

:cry: :frowning: What a shame, might have to go to jae now :shock:

Yeah you might tony lol .
well i got an email back from Rob , one of the two guys that organise it and he said its unlikely the MOD will change their minds . Also its left it too late as far as he can see to switch it anywhereby then.
Yep they are ultra peaved and are at a loss why the MOD left it so late to put a block on it knowing it was booked from the start of last years one.

Apparently it takes tons of organising to get everything together for certain dates ie fun fair drift team drag team etc etc etc.

Disgruntled Ray

maybe if it was advertised as a gathering of muslim extremists then it would of been allowed to go ahead.

dont get me wrong i am not in the least bit racist but this country and its pathetic rulings really annoy me.

Well said
UK the soft touch for all to see! And still the MOD give no reason other than its " inapropriate" to hold a modified car show on their land! ffs .

I’ll never help them out again if they call me !

Ray

oh dear what a shame
