Extremely popular with other car clubs, we have been lucky to secure a peak season weekend slot at this fantastic motorsports venue. It comprises a superb and challenging sprint track which has just recently been upgraded and resurfaced. Only one car on track at a time, and you'll get as many runs as you can fit in during the day for about £20. You only need to pay if you waish to take your car on the track, and there is no charge is you just want to come along and watch, enjoy some food and some good company. We will also have a BBQ throughout the day (any volunteers or budding chefs out there ?), and hopefully a few other activities to keep the whole family happy. No pre-booking required, but to give us an idea of how much food to buy for the BBQ, then we would appreciate you dropping us an e-mail at We want to come to Kames!!, with the number of adults and children in your party.

The SIDC have booked Knockhill circuit Knockhill on Saturday 30th June. This is one of the few weekend peak season track day slots available anywhere in the country, and at an unbeatable price of only £65 !! We have the track booked for our exclusive use between 9am and 1pm, and running an open pit format, means you have unlimited use of the circuit for the full 4 hours. Places are strictly limited to 40 cars, to ensure quality track time, and no queuing to get on the track at any point. Expert tuition will be available free of charge throughout the event, from one of Knockhill's resident instructors. Interested ? - then send an e-mail to myself and I shall send you a booking form by return e-mail. We are also hoping to hold a BBQ at the circuit after the event, where we can relax, and watch the qualifying sessions for the car races the following day.

For the thrid year running, we have been invited to attend a multi-club car show at the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, some 20 miles west of Aberdeen on the A944. The day starts off at about 10:30am, and goes on until around 5pm, when the various prizes are awarded, and the raffles drawn. The SIDC will have an exclusive display area for our cars (we had more than 20 cars last year!), and a prize awarded for the best looking car on the day. As well as the static displays, there is a small sprint track which will be in use throughout the day. The cost to use the track (one car at a time) was a mere £5 last year, and again there are prizes for the best car(s) on the track. There are various trade stalls selling a wide range of motoring related goods, as well as food outlets. A great day out for the family, and we hope to see as many of you there as possible.
