Drag racing for proper Northerners

[db484bhpv8]

or maybe a good opportunity for our Scottish neighbours.

There is a 2 day drag race RWYB event (racewars) at Kirkbride airfiled (North Cumbria) this weekend 4th and 5th.
I have a christening to attend on the Sunday but will be there on Saturday.

Be good to see a few more TVRs come along.

Too late in the year for me road tax is up and it is off the road till spring now.

Poor excuse.
My road tax is up to. Gonna sort it especially.
Should be a good meeting. Weather looks like it will behave enough

I know also my love for Tvr is not that fussed after this year, I did close to my 5k insurance limit and did LMC and a tour of north France. Still Meh! Is how I feel, 8 years with tvrs now and I pick my little mini over it to use, only 45bhp but I love it. Wont sell the Cerb as I have put so much in to it, but need some time apart from it I think.

Thats a shame. I know how they can get you down at times when things go wrong.
You will soon miss that raw power tho.

Best of luck Derek, I'll pass the word to the North Cumbria TVRCC guys and hopefully they'll be along to support you

Cheers Martin, would be good to see a few TVRs come along.
I am just going for a bit of fun. This is a new event to me so interested to see how it goes.
Kirkbride is an active airfield and has a few drag type meets a year. No dedicated and certainly not prepped startline and track makes for some interesting results. Dragcars on slicks can struggle.
I ran 11.9 there a couple years ago so i am aiming for a mid 11 on Saturday.
Just keeping an eye on the weather. As long as its not forecast constant torrential rain then i will be there.

Ha no worries guys. I am often guilty of thread hijack
