Stradsett park rally is organised by NvTEC, and in the last few years has started having a few engines present as they have realised they are a more of a crowd puller than 100's of pop and bangs, and static tractors.

And that is certainly the case in this instance, but the reaction is just - why not leave them in a museum. I think the show needs to work out what it wants to be. It certainly is not what it was. But what do the organisers want the future to be?
