Hi Guys,
Well I previously posted regarding this track day going back nearly a year ago, when it was too late to arrange anything.
Basically I am working on a place for the Audi-Sport forum. Unfortunately the track this year is fully booked and we can't get on until next year.
But what we have been offered is access. It is normally only open to ASDA employees and their close relatives. But due to the forum being interested in joining next years, we have been given a limited number of letters which will grant permission for you to gain entry to have a look around in preparation for next year.
You will have full access to all the facilities and everything that goes on for the day, so it is a brilliant opportunity for people to go and check it out and have a good day out with the family!!
It is being held on Saturday 10th August 2013, I believe it all kicks off at 9am and continues maybe to 5:30PM.. which is when things start to shut down.
Here is the website for you to have a look around at everything there:
http://www.on-your-marks.info
Right so here is what I can offer..
We have 20 of these letters available, that is 20 cars. It is £10 on the gate for entry. Here's what you have to do to get your letters.. post pictures of your cars, entries stop on July 20th.. which is when me and my Dad will be judging the cars as to who gets the passes.. this gives everyone a chance rather than just first come first serve. The winners will be informed via PM by 25th July, if we do not get a response within 2 days the opportunity to go will be passed onto another member. On your response we will require a name and an address which for 50p sent to my PayPal I will send the letter personally, direct to you via 2nd class post.
Please keep on your best behaviour during the event as it is strictly a private event with only ASDA employees and very rarely invited guest, you are pretty privileged to gain access. So not only do you get a look around it is a fantastic day out for the family to enjoy the facilities and a huge range of supercars there! Please look on the website, there are so many things happening there.. all can be seen on the website!
All you have to do then is turn up on the day at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome and present your letter and your £10 at the gate to get in.
In return we have been told to post this direct from ASDA in Lutterworth from the organisers, please notice the very good hotel deal:
SATURDAY 10th AUGUST 2013
SAT NAVS: BATH LANE BRUNTINGTHORPE
On Your Marks has always been about seeing and doing the unusual, below is the list of confirmed items for this years show and we hope we have kept up that genre of the unusual.
First the bad news
It is with great regret that we will have to change the entry donation per car to £10.
The cost of everything has gone through the roof and we have managed to keep the price down for the last twelve years. Everything else inside the show is still based on a £5 note.
Now the good news
We will be at our usual venue, Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Leicestershire. This has been our 'home' for the past 12 years and is ideally suited for the type of day we organise.
By request from Bruntingthorpe, we have been asked to move our day from a Sunday to a Saturday because of local environmental noise issues.
The hotel deal.
We have confirmed our usual special deal at the Hinckley Island 4 star Hotel for just £55 per night per double room and twin (this year) for 2 with breakfast (from 06,30) included , thatâs only £27.50 each, for the 9th August, and the same deal for the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] and 11th August 2013.
If anyone does want to take advantage of this fantastic deal, all you have to do when booking (Telephone 01455 631122) is quote our reference 'OYM13' and you will get the £55 rate.
Just across the round about there are 2 local pubs, the Hinckley Knight and the Three Pots Harvester where you can get good quality beer and food at a very reasonable price.
On Your Marks charities
Well we must be mad but we are going to do it all again on the Saturday 10th Aug 2013 at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire, and this year we will be doing the show for "Orchid â the cancer charity. And we will also be supporting some childrenâs cancer charities at the show as well.
www.on-your-marks.info
Our WEBSITE is up and running, so you can look for all the information you might need, such as maps and information on the day. There is also a Facebook page, just type in On Your Marks and you should get to it.
Why we do it?
On Your Marks started twelve years ago, we had a driver called Mark Hickingbottom, who was dying of lymphatic cancer after serving his country in the first gulf war, we approached the owner of Bruntingthorpe (David Walton) and asked if we could have a day with some trucks and a few cars on the proving ground, and he said yes. This went very well and we made £7,500 for his family but unfortunately Mark died a week before the event.
The car clubs that came on the day asked if we could carry on with the event, so we approached his family and asked if we could do the day in his memory and use his name,
Twelve years down the line we have raised over £270,000+ for cancer charities, and if you add the money the charities have made on the day we must be well over £300,000, and we now get
20,000 colleagues, friends and family there on the day. An indication on how bigâ On Your Marks "is now, on the first year we put up 350 metres of plastic safety fencing, well this year we have just ordered 6,100 metres of steel safety fencing thatâs 6.1 kilometresâ.
We insist that the charities are there on the day and that some of the sick children can hopefully attend , then at 14.00 on the day we open a special Pit for them and call all the special cars in for them to get in and go around the track for free and their parents and siblings. This is very special and is the pay back for all the hard work that Chris and myself put in, we both walk away with a tear in our eyes,
The companies that help us put this on, and the deal is that their employees can come as well and enjoy the day ,we have to give a special mention to A1 cones , they have supported us for about ten years now , and without them we could not put on this extradinary charity show,
A.1.cones they come in and put out over 1,700 road cones, and then pick them up the same night
N.F.T. will be supplying two trucks to go on the track with instructors.
Fresh link support us with two trucks to go on the track with instructors.
Jungheinrich they supply us two forklifts for the putout and the uplift which takes us four days to put up and two days to take down.

Cotts U.K... They supply a trailer of almost out of date pop to sell to colleagues on the day (otherwise they would put it into the landfill).
Volvo UK they supply the Show trailer that fronts the Asda National Driver of the Year and new trucks for you to drive at the show.
Scania UK they supply the Show trailer that fronts the Asda National Driver of the Year and new trucks for you to drive at the show.

Radio Controlled 1/14[SUP]th[/SUP] Truck Display
We have invited back Tamiya models as they put on a fantastic display and built a complete model village! They are the bees knees in the model industry and you will see just how good these guys and girls are at building them and operating them, we are hoping that there will be over thirty of them running around the specially built track for them in the Tamiya tent.
Radio Controlled Model Tank Display
Marvel at these mammoth models, and wonder how long it took to make them and how much they would cost to make, some of them are worth over £6,000 and most of these modellers will bring 4 or 5 of these fantastic models to the show this year.
