Big Northern Gathering (BNG) 2012.

[restless*native]

This TVR EVENT is FAST approaching, and promises to be one of the best TVR events of 2012.
Places are booking up fast, so be quick, contact the Organiser(name and info on the bottom of BNG Flyer).

Looks like a great event, best get my name down before the place is booked up. Are there any speed restrictions on the test track?

[restless*native]

No speed restrictions. Good job seen as the SPEED 12 is making an appearance.
(In your case TT, it is as fast as Tricky can make it go!)

Not sure if that's not handicapping the car.
Hold on, now I think about it, it could be that it needs the extra ballast to keep it from lifting off the runway!

I suppose he could throw Trickie out at speed and use him as a kind of anchor

In that case scenario, he may even overtake the car in 'Dambusters' bouncing bomb styly!

Trickie, how is the fund building for the CS12 ride?

this sounds great but would there be any way of getting on the 2 mile runway on sunday as im working on sat (see what the cerb will do ??)

[Gazzab]

Can I just turn up or is it pre booked only?

[restless*native]

I am looking forward to seeing the SPEED 12 on a 2 mile run, and making so much money for charity too.
Having driven this runway many times in several tvrs, i can honnestly say, PUT your names down quickly and have a go. Be the best money spent this year by FAR.....

[tuscanturner]

I have a bit of a problem! Tuscan with only two seats and a wife and child.......looks like I'd better go it alone just in case I have to exceed 70mph

[xTVR]

Booked in for a blast down the runway at 11am - yummy! In the expectation of contributing to global warming, is there a petrol station anywhere near that does 97/99 ron feul?

[bobbins]

Not too many petrol stations nearby. Nearest Vpower will be in Pontefract (about 10 miles away).

[restless*native]

Fill up, and bring a fuel can full. i used around 3/4 of a tank last time, just on the runway. But what a way to swollow that juice.

There's a BP station nearby that I've used before. South Milford I think?

I seem to remember using quite a lot of fuel last time I was at Sherburn. Well worth it though!

Unfortunately not

We have to hire the runway by the day and it is expensive!!!!!
