Toms Supra Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 This event is being held in conjunction with avon and somerset police, at ilton aerodrome nr Taunton. its on the 3rd of September, not the 4th! The flyer is an old one, the police changed the date! It is a run what you brung event. you can do the 1/4 mile strip,or drift, and a top speed run on the 3 mile runway. its all tarmac on open fields so nothing to hit if you do have a misshap. the price is 5 pound per car. you will need to take your driving licence, mot an insurance, there will be trade stands an food. all proceeds go to charity heres a copy of the flyer. its a bit hard to read but if anyone wants more info there is a phone no,on the bottom. __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 I think you can do top speed although it doesnt say on the flyer I have been told you can the police will be using their police timing guns. Deffo 1/4 mile though. Make sure your car is in good shape! No bald tyres etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 If members here are thinking of going to this RWYB event in the southwest make sure your car is 100% completely road legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Usually speaking at things like this the police take on a more advisory role unless the vehicle is obviously unworthy of being on the road. In a public relations type of role they can't afford to be the fascists they can get away with on a bad day on the M25. You'll almost definitely find the guys there will be there on a voluntary basis. Bit of a pain it being on the saturday though. I'll see what I can manage.

dangerous brain Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm gonna go unless its raining. See if posting a decent 1/4 mile and verified top speed will help with selling the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 If members here are thinking of going to this RWYB event in the southwest make sure your car is 100% completely road legal. I was planning on going to this but am not sure now Do you think they will overlook little things like no front plate, 'just about' legal front tyres, 'no chance of passing emmisons test' sort of thing?

Toms Supra Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 They may give you a verbal warning if its that bad, but this day is for charity and I wouldnt think for a second any fines or points will be dished out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I would have thought they are obliged to keep any car that isnt road legal off the roads. They will probably over look minor things or have a word about them, something like illegal tyres makes the car dangerous on the road and I would almost expect them to impound the car to stop it being a potential hazard to other road users...thats my view anyway. If Class One is saying be 100% legal then I would certainly listen... JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
