I've run it off an on for years now.
It's not an autocross, it's a mini-road course. Three laps per heat, three
heats. The race itself is most interesting as a spectator just observing
what runs around the course, and how they do. An MGTF last year for
example, and a Citroen 2CV a few years ago.
The training/practice sessions on Friday and usually Saturday are a terrific
deal. You can run so much you need new tires and a refill on gasoline. You
can get seat time with some of the others in the club sponsoring the event,
and the club has some very hot drivers.
I would not consider it worthwhile alone to do a long trip. But the show is
a lot of fun, and the racing is good. As a package the event is worth
coming to, at least in my opinion.
