An early start was on the cards to get from Hexham to Donington in time to get set up for the drift demos and passenger rides. When I say early I mean 4:30am kind of early :yawn and stretch: But with the Rocket Bunny loaded on the truck off we went on our merry way.
4 hours later and we were there – all be it stuck in a queue to get in. But we were there :more yawns and stretches:
The weather was looking very promising though, and it didn’t let us down. Blazing sunshine all day!
This could take a while...

Once in it was straight to the paddock to unload the truck and set up the gazebos and sales stall. There is another S13 rocking the Rocket Bunny kit in the BDC. Justin Clarke’s white 180SX looks the part sat next to it’s big sister.

Where's the fluffy tails?
The morning started with signing on and a drivers briefing then it was straight into the passenger rides on the small track. There was a fairly long queue already formed and it was only around 10am. After a couple of hours on the small track and a spot of lunch it was off onto the main circuit for a little drift demo to please the crowds.

The day was rounded off on the small track again with passenger rides until all the tyres that we brought on rims were used up.

This was a fun way to spend a Sunday and great just having fun without the pressure of competition, and as Scotty put it “Another track conquered by the Bunny”. Next stop AwesomeFest!
