Bank holiday Sun and Mon - drag racing............

[blakeatron]

I know I shouldn't be tempted but just seen this;

Straightliners are back in Cumbria and all car and bike enthusiasts have a chance to take part in a Quarter Mile Drag Racing Day on our doorstep, spectators are welcome.

Sunday 3rd and Monday 4th May

Starting 10.30am until 5pm both days at:

kirkbride Airfield

Wigton

Cumbria

CA7 5LF

This is a full drag strip with all the usual equipment and time slips which will be given out after each run so you know your best time of the day.

Anyone is welcome to take part whether your vehicle is road legal or otherwise.

For those wanting to take part it's £35 for unlimited runs (this includes insurance) all you need is your driving license and a crash helmet.

£5 entry for spectators.

No need to book in advance just turn up on the day, the sooner you get there the more runs you get in.

Catering vans will be there all day.

If this event goes down well they will be back, let's make sure it does!

Might be tempted on the Monday, but Sunday we're doing the Hartside run let us not forget!

*runs off to look up where Wigton is*

[blakeatron]

I was thinking monday - but its a good 90minutes from me....

[The Jade Mongoose]

That means it's a good 110 minutes from me then!

Still, could be a laugh.

[blakeatron]

very, very tempted....

[Guest]

do you think the bikes could take it!

very, very tempted....

were going by Carlisle which if you get your maps out is about 20 mins from kirkbride (my school catchment area) so could drop by.. and have a look in, unless either of you want to get jiggy..

EDIT 11 Miles
