wez_p Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 here you go mate http://www.straightliners.co.uk/non_java_frame.htm car events 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wez_p Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 £45 for unlimited 1/4 and top speed, bring a helmet £45?!!! surely not, that's just outrageous if it is that price, i certainly won't be bothering Santa Pod is usually no more than about £30 including gate entrance & unlimited runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 what time does the gates open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 £45?!!! surely not, that's just outrageous if it is that price, i certainly won't be bothering 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 what time does the gates open? 09:30 I think - they normally open up an hour before the racing starts if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
