The 48th

Great Manchester to Blackpool Car Run 2010

 

 

 48th Great Manchester to Blackpool Car Run Sunday 13th June

 

ABOUT THE EVENT:

 

On the 15th June 2008 we revised the format for the Great Manchester to Blackpool Car Run by increasing the mileage and reviving the Cavalcade to St Chad’s Headland. Additionally we trimmed the awards and other costs to significantly reduce the entry fee. These were well received and we want to build on the success for all future years.

 

Essentially the event is open to all cars manufactured before 31st December 1981, although the organisers may allow 'interesting’ cars manufactured after that date to take part.

 

There is a road section with simple navigation to get you from Manchester to Blackpool and you have a choice of routes including a special route for he oldest Group A cars, a shorter more direct route and a longer scenic route. These routes can be completed by maintaining average speeds of 14 (Group A) 22 and 28mph, although early leavers can still arrive in time at lower speeds if they wish.

 

There are controls to confirm you have followed the correct route and their location and opening times will be clearly shown in the route instructions.

 

In addition there is a Concours with cars judged on their, originality, condition and presentation.


The event finishes at Arnold School in Blackpool and is part of their Community Fun Day sponsored by Radio Wave.


This is an event you, and your passengers, can enjoy on several levels so come along and have a fun day. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me or any of my Officials who will be only too pleased to help you.
