Is there going to be a stand for JAE this year?
Matt (Slip and Slide) is going I believe but SXOC don't ever have a presence there. Do a search for the history of why.
Yeah, I'm going with a local car group this year as will a lot of other SXOC'ers but there's nothing SXOC specific happening.
Why isn't SXOC going? Can't find the answers.. Other than something happened a few years back.
Damn my usual stand isnt going this year but 2 mates and I want to go! S14, Evo6 TME and an EP3 - Anyone got any space?
I am also interested in going to this.
Basically, our turnout used to be massive i.e. > 100 cars yet the guy who organises the show used to tit the club about and we used to get small inaccessible stands in pokey corners miles from any camping, changed at the last minute and they wouldn't take any feedback as to how to improve the show etc. etc. so SXOC organised their own event which is the Weekender.Originally Posted by zeldoz
I can't believe that doesn't come up on a search though.
I could imagine the above after speaking with the organiser on facebook, very elitist when it comes to other show, when people posted saying they will be attending trax on the sunday he was very negative towards the shows. I'm going with my local club but only until saturday and i'll be off to the camping area for trax and trax on sunday.
I think I might just pay for a stand. seems pretty straight forward.
This in a nut shell, I think there could be a future for SXOC at JAE again one day but unfortunately most of the staff that supported in organising every year got fed up with how the event was being managed by JAE hierarchy. Shame as we always had the biggest, loudest and most talked about stand every year!!!!The weekender is all of JAE and more
If there are other weekend static car shows people are interested in, we are open to try something new, if anyone wants club support to do JAE locally, we are happy to support however JAE on a large scale is off the cards for the interim
I very much doubt we could put 100+ cars on a stand nowadays anyway unless the Weekender got merged into JAE somehow. Yesterday at Helmingham we got 6 and considered it a pretty good turn out.This in a nut shell, I think there could be a future for SXOC at JAE again one day but unfortunately most of the staff that supported in organising every year got fed up with how the event was being managed by JAE hierarchy.

We get around 80 cars at Japfest still as people like to attend the established shows, hopefully Helmingham will grow as its a good event
I didn't realise Japfest was so big. There are obviously more road-going 200s than I thoughtWe get around 80 cars at Japfest still as people like to attend the established shows, hopefully Helmingham will grow as its a good event
Just checked and numbers slipped a bit this year but still 60 cars there
I prefer JAE as its a lot more chilled, Japfest is to early and rushed and a 5AM start and then its just hectic for the whole day.
I thought JAE from years ago was quite a good show with some good trade stands and a wide variety of cars.
Then 4-5 years ago it got really "max power" and the trade stands were just selling cheap Halfords knock-off neons and fluffy dice so I stopped going when SXOC stopped.
This unfortunately is what most shows are like now.
Its gone downhill a bit since Billing IMO, turned into a money making exercise rather than being about the cars and the owners
Yea true, I cant believe they are charging £35 per person Thursday-Sunday. Quite pricey if you ask me
Is it 4 days now then ? £35 for a four day show isn't bad, I'd have said.
