Oooooo! Something else up North ey? May have to get in on this myself.. (More likely the October one for me)!
This event is still going ahead this weekend if anyone is interested. I don't have an exact price from straightliners but last year it was £40 per day so should be around the same price this year. I've been very busy recently so only just got round to thinking about drumming up more interest in it. But it's 2 days worth of practice time for the locals and I'm travelling up from Devon on my own so any help with marshalling on the day would be helpful. No tyre van booked as of yet so bring lots of wheels with tyres on if you are planning on drifting as seat time is bound to be good. We have another weekend event booked in for October here too.
Drifting is £40 or £45 for drift and drag each day. Everyone has to pay £10 entry into the venue on the gate. So effectively it's £50 drifting per day or £55 drift and drag with unlimited runs on both. The drift track will be shared with the sprinters with timing gear and time cards printed out so you are welcome to do that as well if you have paid to drift. Are there any drifters out there from the carlisle/cumbria area planning on coming this weekend? Post up if you are
not far from me, the 2nd/3rd october is a thursday and friday, is this correct as it says weekends in the description?
Haha ok. How do I book in for this? My mates went to the last one and I think they just payed when they got there?
Sorry to dissapoint you but there won't be any drifting at the October event now. The drag racing is still going ahead and tieing it in the streetwars stuff so the drift/sprint area will be taken over by that.
Fuck the drag racing! Ha o well I will have to find somewhere else. What is the reason for this? Just because they need to room or something?
