The Damn Yankees currently has no plans to host the Summer Slam event anymore.

The Summer Slam was an annual event at North Weald Airfield Essex, which allows all the members and non members to get their cars out of the garage and show off a little. Every year the cars got judged by an independent panel of judges and trophies were awarded for a number of categories.

After 35 years+ Gary Hall the Damn Yankees Chairman has stepped down from running the show.

From a club perspective it was getting increasing difficult to make the show work financially and in the current econimic climate felt unable to significantly increase the gate price.

So on behalf of all the Damn Yankees members, All the other car clubs and Public that have attended over the years we would like to thank you for your support and our collective thanks to Gary for putting on such a great event

So what's next?

We are looking at other ways to keep the community alive so watch this space.

From The Damn Yankees side we would also like to thanks all the traders, Reflection (band), John Price and race car owners who attended every year to make the show what it was, also we would like to thank our sponsor Mustang Maniac.

Last and not least a very big thank you to the Damn Yankees hard working volunteers which allowed the show to take place.
