michael Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Try http://www.straightliners.co.uk Chances are it will be £40 or £45 per car, maybe £5 to get in on top of that. You'll need your licence, no need for insurance cert, no helmet hire, long sleeved top required. I think that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GeeUK Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 So if I have no helmet I can not run? And the events calender shows no event on the 23rd of March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 So if I have no helmet I can not run? Nope, unless someone lends you one or you pop out and buy one in advance. It's a useful thing to have for trackdays and other events and you can pick them up for £30 or so. Pop down to a local bike shop and see what they have. http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/shop/index.php/cPath/43 http://woostersmotorcycle.co.uk http://www.squires-cafe.co.uk/html/speedstyle.html http://www.powersport.co.uk https://secure.jandsclothing.co.uk etc... And the events calender shows no event on the 23rd of March? They aren't the best at updating websites and things but I presume Wez got one of their emails about this date.

wez_p Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 got the date from the http://www.straightliners.co.uk site here http://www.straightliners.co.uk/community/showthread.php?t=380 (post number 3) the Straightliners events are for the official times etc if you want to compete, the 23rd March is a RWYB event that is open to everyone you'll definitely need a helmet as you will be hitting over 100mph by the end of the strip, it's usually £45 to race plus £5 entry but i'm sure they were talking about putting the prices up this year. you'll need your full driving license and it usually starts about 9am ish but you can turn up anytime, you'll just miss the drivers briefing at the start there's usually nothing like the number of people that go to Santa Pod RWYB days so the queues are minimal if at all! highly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Anyone else fancy it?) Sorry you are not coming along, but hope to meet and race over coming year. i've eaten singles & hybrids down the ol' strip old man nah in all seriousness, i'm gutted. this is one of the things i look forward to with the Supra & Elvington is sooo much closer than Santa Pod & alot less busy! the south of France will hopefully make it a little more bearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonv Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Now that Wez thought of a excuse, who from the NW is heading to Elvington. Come on guys, it is a great day out. It could be a massive full day Supra meet. Much more relaxing than Santa Pod, and a big laugh if we can get enough Supras there. Lets see some action and support. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_stevo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It was quite a good day in the end, had a bit of snow at about 1.30pm but only lasted 5mins and the track dried up nicely once they had swept it! managed to get a 14.8 in my NA which I was well happy with - considering it is standard apart from the backbox! There was a white supra TT there, very nice, was it anyones off here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
