The Birth Of A New Drag/Handling/Drift Day

OK, as some of you may be aware i found a lovely disused RAF base. Well i spoke with the owner and she is happy for us to hire it out one Sunday. So im thinking either July or Aug at the moment and i need to check it out. But it'll definatly be a day for 1/4 mile drags and possible space for a mini handling circuit or drift circuit. Will depend on what space we get and who wants what. need to talk to a man about hireing timing equip, but this may work out rather expensive so may have to come up with another way of timing the day. Initally im gonna open it up just to Supras, but again i'll have to see how people feel and if it's neccassary to bring costs down. Im seeing this as a very minature TOTB with maybe stalls like JAE. So keep your eyes peels and any suggestions would be greatfully recieved.

Some pictures of the strip

Yeah it's Bovingdon Airfield. Surrounded by the M25, M1 and M40 (MAP)

Just the response i was after . Gotta work out the date still but am think a nice hot summers day, BBQ and fun for everyone till it gets dark.

that would be good just having a start and finish line with 5 supras all lined up with a lane space inbetween each car. you could do it like a mini knock out like the japanese skyline owners have where they race down a section of road.

could be a good for a supra meet. pity they always down south.

pity they always down south.

Completely the opposite of what I was thinking

Count me in mate, providing I even have a Supra by then ! Safe to say I think I will, I miss mine already, it's only been gone a day

Count me in depending on the date

I like your thinking.

Has a date been decided yet for that?? So much going on during July/Aug. Will put up a poll for the date in a few hours. Depending on the above event date of course.

Don't worry, you wont even notice it. I've been there loads of times over the last 8-10 years and only found out about it yesterday. On the other hand if you feel the urge on joining them for some man fun then be my guest

I almost did once Wont be doing that again in a hurry.
