2007 event

 

"These things don't just happen" as they say, and how right that is 

Close on a hundred Lancashire Automobile Club members and friends helped out with the run alone on Sunday - all unpaid volunteers doing it for the love of cars and the event itself. 

Staff and pupils and parents at Arnold School sacrificed personal time to make the event happen. 

Radio Wave came with unstinting enthusiasm and professionalism.

And last but not least, Blackpool Corporation for allowing us to run such a successful event with great support, and for even providing the weather!

Needless to say, Sunday would not have happened without the above and all the countless participants who lavish thousands of hours upon their passion of motor cars.

A big thank you to you all.

The event this year was held in glorious weather and finished at Arnold School for lunch and prize presentation ceremony by The Mayor of Blackpool.
