Some more good news, I identified to the organisers that it is 20th year since the re-launch of AC following the purchase by Alan Lubinsky (think this is correct).
   
   The organisers have therefore allocated that AC owners Club will be part of the Friday Lunchtime track parade. This is not limited in number of cars and therefore if you purchase tickets to attend on the Friday you can if you wish be part of the parade.
   
   As a reminder if tickets are purchased before 31st March these can be purchased at the early bird rate so as you can see if the 3-Day Weekend ticket is purchased it costs £99 rather than £118 or just the Friday £43 rather than £50. And of course rather than 1 ticket you will get 2 tickets and a car pass to part your car in the AC Owners Club stand.
