Trax, billed as the ultimate car club track event. Despite this, with the amount of shows we'd already attended and had stands at in the year so far, it was decided we wouldn’t be having a stand at this one. But then, things change, and we’ve become show junkies, so it became a mad rush to find spaces to get some CUK cars on show. A big thanks has to go to our friends at SUPEDUP.CO.UK who managed to squeeze us on their stand. Thanks guys!

The main reason behind us wanting to go to Trax is that this one day event is absolutely huge. It’s held at the home of Motorsport, Silverstone race track, which means as well as over 100 car club displays and 40,000 sq ft of trade stands, there’s also the opportunity to take your car for a blast round the track, and take part in 0-60 sprint tests.

With the cars cleaned, polished and packed up, we made our way down to Silverstone on the Saturday afternoon. Thanks to one of members Phil we’d been able to get a few rooms with the 200+ club at a Travelodge just down the road from the track. Nice and close ready for the early start in the morning.

With us settled into the hotel, there was only one thing to do, go to the pub of course! It was also here that we got to meet one of our Welsh members who was showing with us. After a few beers in the local town, well more than a few, we made our way back to the hotel.

Waking up at a time normally reserved for milkmen, it was all made worthwhile when we realised that it was the noise of the 700bhp Skyline from the 200+ plus club warming up that had awoken us, you don’t get that everyday! Walking out to see a line of modified cars already queuing in the morning mist was awesome. Now it was our turn to join the queue.
