I have been twice and it is a very friendly "grass roots" event.

Being Cumbria I will be watching the weather forecasts carefully before committing. :D

But if it is dry it is good fun. No danger of damaging your car due to the airstrip not being sticky like a professional drag strip. But that means you have to use your brain more to get the traction. ;)

I think the "cut off" date for bookings is just at the track £35 price. After tomorrow I think you can still turn up on the day and race for £40.

same crew that does the one in Devon near (100 miles away :? ) me. Also watching the weather for next event in October. Pretty rough track, but I have a 13.8 ticket or two from my old Buick. Can't see the RR doing the same just yet :oops:

Scratch that. They are forecast strong winds and heavy rain. Maybe next time.
They do tend to book/announce Kirkbride at very short notice though. I have missed a couple there this year because of that.
