drivenbywind.jpgNow Southend has shown it's potential the interest in participating has also grown so its time to get the entry forms out to you. Entry fee will remain as last year, so with the exchange rates as they are it's actually cheaper for those flying in. drivenbywind will run for three months with a possible month extension should the weather fail us, we are also considering a break over the Christmas period to save on transportation problems during the holidays.

Hopefully we'll make it a speedy end to 2008
