RWYB: Elvington - Saturday 16th June

[michael]

You can't been a bit of advance warning!

Straightliners just emailed me to say they are doing a RWYB at Elvington tomorrow, all I have is this:

On Saturday 16th June 2007 there is car RWUB racing. You must be there early before cut off. It will be £45 plus admission. Any car that meets regulations allowed.

You must wear a helmet and no passengers allowed when racing.

Terrible weather, short notice, expensive - otherwise it sounds like a winner :)

Let's have an impromptu Supra meet there. The owners can all sit around moaning about how overpriced/boring/lacking in facilities the event is.

Should be a good rehearsal for TOTB.

Elvington is comedy in this weather, a nice stream forms close to the end of the 1/4 and you get cars spinning off all over the place.

Then the timing gear blows around, rain sets sensors off... then you get 0.1 second 60ft times and 180mph trap :)

And I suspect it's a lot worse up there at the moment.

It's the Ultimate Road Car Challenge at York on Sunday, I'm on call though :(

£25 to race plus £10 to get in.

I recall when we did that last year (or was it the year before?) and that starlet started spinning gracefully towards that partially built bonfire!

I might give it a miss but Martin, if you want i could moan about overpricedness by email :p

[RedM]

No, please don't, Rob. I had enough of that last year.

So £45 plus admission fee!! Thats £55... :D Its a shitty surface on the strip at elvington too :-/

[Thorin]

I thought Elvington was good fun in the wet, I wheel spun nearly the whole of the quarter mile when it was bouncing down once :D

They decided after my run that it probably wasn't such a good idea to carry one given the conditions :)
