2012 was awesome, we had our biggest turnout yet with close to 1000 competitors on the day.
The Heroes and Villains theme went down a treat with some competitors thinking so far out of the box that they will need to go see a shrink to come back from the brink of insanity….
...You know who you are…
Hampton Downs was a great way to relax and cut lose in the afternoon even though it completely bucketed down the whole time we were there everyone keep saying how much fun it was blasting around the track and doing some skids and drifting on the skid pad.
We did lose a car at Hamptons, the lime green 1969 Mustang Fastback who is a regular at AMS events aquaplaned into a few barriers a looked a little worse for wear after it… After talking to the owner he is hoping to have it fixed and ready to go for next year, we hope it is…. Check the Photos section of this site for some photos of it.
I must say a “Big Up’s” to the three guys who turned up at Hamptons on their motorbikes and looked like they had just jumped out of a pool…. Good stuff guys for powering on.
Our afterpartys are well known for being in pretty cool locations but in 2012 we completely went leftfield on everyone and had a massive themed Horror dinner at Spookers in Kingseat.
We pretty much took over the main complex with our massive themed party and had our prizegiving there as well. Afterwards “The Pack” descended into the Spookers house to get the bejeebers scared out of them….. It was awesome.
