cheers mate, have been in touch with Trevor who organises Straightliners & the details are as follows:

RWYB Test & Tune Day - 12th March
Round 1 - 9th April
Round 2 and Scooby Shootout - 21st May
Round 3 - 2nd July
Round 4 and TOTB cars - 30th July
Round 5 - 10th Sept

You are able to turn up and race on any of the dates, but insurance requires you to be a Straightliners member for the day or for the year (awaiting confirmation of the cost of this). Last time i went it cost £25 for the day, unlimited runs.

you're right, there is one this Sunday :D

the thing i like about Elvington is there are no walls!! just fields!

it's a great day out & i would highly recommend taking your car down, because you will change your mind!

i can't make this Sunday but am hoping to go down mext month :eyebrows:

[Rich]

anybody planning on running this sunday??

[michael]

I'm hoping to watch but can't be arsed to run - £45 for unlimited 1/4 and top speed, bring a helmet.

Don't worry about hitting any walls flukey-lukey, there aren't any :)

[RedM]

I'll be watching.

The Team Cheapskate demo car isn't powerful enough to warrant a run. Still, a few more meat raffles and we'll be reet.

£45?!!! :(

surely not, that's just outrageous

if it is that price, i certainly won't be bothering :rolleyes:

Santa Pod is usually no more than about £30 including gate entrance & unlimited runs

[Rich]

what time does the gates open?

[michael]

£45?!!! :(

Sadly that's what I've been told :(

I'm not sure if it's greed or Elvington putting their prices up - I know Trevor once told me that they only break even on the car days once the site rental has been paid but £45 is asking a bit much IMO. If they charged less more people would come, they would make the same, if not more.

Spectating is a bit expensive given the lack of stuff put on, it's not as if there are stands and stuff like Santa Pod / York.

[michael]

what time does the gates open?

09:30 I think - they normally open up an hour before the racing starts if I remember correctly.
