Well done everyone involved for pulling off such an event
I to was getting a bit cheesed off sitting at the back of the queue as it was a bit gridlock at the bottom of the yard but like you said the amount of people there it was expected. I didn't manage to get into the tunnel till about 2.45am but once in it was excellent
Anyone get any video's or photo's?

The parking was an issue for sure., but due to the rain the huge car par at the bottom was flooded other wise there wouldn't have been any parking / gridlock issues. There were a few breakdowns in the tunnel on the night which also slowed running times. But hope everyone enjoyed it once they got a run. Thak to all, think we raised nearly 2k for cash for kids.

Well what can I say,
Thanks to everyone that made this happen, In particular Tamsin Greulich (TT2), Ron Henderson (TT2), all the TT2 Staff that braved the elements on the night, Max Boost (NESF), our own little Gizmo (so.com), My Mrs Lesley - Max Boosts Mrs Tracey and there daughter Jade For selling the passes all night, RX Jamie (NEMM), J-M Imports & The GTR Shop
The event had a massive turn out, the Main car park was flooded and the entry point in was to muddy to put cars through, I stood in it and sank around 3”. This caused a little traffic chaos but we did the best with what we had, this meant a longer waiting time than expected which I can only apologise for, however this was totally out of our / TT2’s control
Other than that it seemed like everyone including the tunnel staff enjoyed the night, there was a massive variety of cars on show through out the night, Skylines, Evos, Supras, Scoobys, Starlets, Celicas & many more
The amount raised was just shy of £2,000 im sure with a little nagging I’ll get that up to the £2k mark
It was great to see lots of old faces, and meet plenty of new ones. If I didn’t get the chance to stop and talk sorry.
Some great pictures and videos emerging, keep an eye out for the features in the Total magazines and Banzai
Lastly
THANKYOU!! To all that turned out in the poor weather and stuck your hand in your pocket for this great cause – Metro Radios Cash 4 Kids. I Hope you all enjoyed the run which as far as we can tell is the first closed tunnel run of this type in the United Kingdom. Another first for the Northeast & Skylineowner.com
All the Thank you texts / calls / Forum posts over the last day or so are much appreciated, I’ll keep thinking up new ideas and continue to bring events like this to the Northeast as it’s something we are definitely lacking! Also makes a change from the usual sit in a car park meet lol
Oh and for all that asked I managed to get my run done near 3:30 am lol not bad being there from 10:20 lol
