0-60 Challenge

Fancy pitting your car against the clock?

---

York Raceway and the Pennine Drag Racing Club are finalising detail for their 0-60 Challenge to be staged on 9th May.

There will be trophies awarded for: Quickest Overall, Quickest V8, Quickest normally aspirated V8, Quickest 6-cylinder, quickest 4-cylinder.

There will also be categories for quickest and fastest 1/4 mile passes on the day - since all the timing equipment will be running. Each lane at the track at York Raceway has a shell grip surface to launch from as well as a conventional smooth surface – it’s the competitor’s choice.

Anyone who would still like to compete should email [e-mail] as soon as possible.

Could I enter my r/c car to race. It can hit 60 in no time, will give many cars a good run. May just have to make it a 3 gear now so i can get a good quarter mile time.

But they didn't mention anything about an R/C Category

They should though

I'd love to go to this!

Just as soon as they make 'slowest 0-60' a category
Maybe then I'd be in with a chance!

Someone with a 340R should enter the 4cyl category.

[pstables]

I've got an RX-8, where's the 0 cylinder category?

I guess a Caterham Superlight R500 would do well in that category as well!
