I haven't mate. But you have to be realistic A DRAG DAY WITHOUT US LOT
Would just be pants to be fair








How far is that from me ?????????












This could be a chance to practice without being humiliated

We should at least have a day at Santa Pod on a RWYB day next year.
(After all thats how we got started)

York's at least a bit closer for us northerners being around a 3hr drive from the central belt. Mind you as few of the folk on here would consider going to Oulton Park for the BTCC the chances of them driving to York must be pretty slim. Hard pushed to get events north of Watford Gap services that people will drive to!

I`d do York

[gsd2000]

I'd travel to york, according to my iphone im in the middle of pod and york.

[higgster5.7]

You can't exactly say Santa pod or shakeys have first rate facilities as long as the tracks right I've no probs with that, yeah if anyone else fancies it suppose post your interest n il get on to York there site says they do cater for clubs

Id be very much up for York aswell, pretty much anytime as it aint far from me, can probs make it in 30mins flat

It may be a good venue to try and have a meet at aswell, I know its not round the corner for the Scottish owners but its alot more accessible for them, and some and I must stress some of the southerners may dare venture North for it lol

Yeah definately its 70 miles or so for me but still worth gettin two days out of it, they run a fair few rwyb's during the year too

[gsd2000]

So were you thinking, just a group of us attend a rwyb day or hire it out?

[after_shock]

I have no idea of costs for the place but think we would struggle to get enough people from the forum to hire it out for the day, may be possible if open it up to PH or the VXR online forum for example but as say depends on costs.

Well to be honest neither but if it sounds like a trip out for everyone we could all go rwyb like the old days, otherwise its the same old same gettin deposits and so on. What do you think?

[roman knows]

I'd be up for a day at York, i raced there quite a bit from '88 to '96 and always enjoyed it there. The facilities were basic to say the least but the track was always ok. The run off area was quite scarey if you crossed the line at anything over 120mph, shorter than the pod or shakeys and very bumpy.
The best thing about racing there was the people, very friendly and helpful.
Bearing in mind i haven't been there for 13 years, things may have improved, but even if they haven't it should still be a good day.

[gsd2000]

I think a general rwyb day maybe best, that should give more dates that we could all attend. What sort of dates were you thinking?
