T2 MSW Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Could be up for this one, how do you mean no top speed runs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Could be up for this one, how do you mean no top speed runs?? I think he means there will be know 1.25 mile top speed trap. The top cars at TOTB are reaching 200mph, so maybe they don't have the correct safety on tap as there is with a big event like TOTB, maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 I remember going 2 ish years ago, was a good day, if a little wet! aye it rains every time i go i think!! Could be up for this one, how do you mean no top speed runs?? I think he means there will be know 1.25 mile top speed trap. The top cars at TOTB are reaching 200mph, so maybe they don't have the correct safety on tap as there is with a big event like TOTB, maybe they used to run the whole length of the runway with a speed trap at some point partway down for you to try & clock your top speed - they now have individual top speed events which are seperate to the 1/4 mile ones - they do it for bikes mainly now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GeeUK Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Where is the official event calender for Elvington, as I can not find anything on this event? I need to know what clothing they require you to where, do you need to bring insurance documents with your license and how much entry is, plus price to run..and finally, can you rent a helmet and how much?? I found an address on another forum, which was: Elvington Airfield Halifax Way, Elvington YO4 5AU Is this correct? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 That's the right address yes. I think that the only real requirement is a helmet if your terminal speed is over 100 mph. I'm not certain though. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Good point - what is thought to be the best based on previous years on the concrete 888s / ET radials etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Good point - what is thought to be the best based on previous years on the concrete 888s / ET radials etc ? Both of them seemed to work, the MR2 guys seem to really like the 888's but I don't think they worked as well on the Supra. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
