Blokart open de France 2008!

Dear Blokarters,

The time has almost come to retrace our pilgrimage to the near Mecca of European Blokarting, La Franqui, in the South of France. This year's French Blokart Open Championships will be held between the
30th May and the 1st June.
Last years howling winds, spectacular scenery, hot competition and good weather made it a very special and fun event. We are hoping to at least match the success of last year, although circumstances are a little different. There will be no title sponsor this year and all is being organised by enthusiasts and Blokart fanatics such as Philippe Lacoste and Santiago Oliver to mention but a few.
Volunteer work is being carried out in Belgium, France, the UK, Spain and Holland to rally competitors to the event, by fantastic people who love the sport and want to see it thrive. THANK YOU!

We hope you help to spread the fanaticism by coming to take part!!

Dates: 30th May to 1st June
Location: La Franqui, France
Entry fee: E50.00 purely to cover expenses payable in La Franqui
Pre-inscription necessary by email: Pbresnan@vmgracing.com
Please state your weight, and Performance or Production category

Once you register, you will be emailed an information pack for the event.

We sincerely wish you come aplenty to share in the fun...

La Franqui 2008 Volunteer Organising Corps!
