Damn, that sounds like fun.

Shall consult my diary and if many more Skuds are going I'll see if its worth the 3 hour drive there and back.

edit: 223 miles. May have to see if I can make it into a weekend with my relations up there instead. Maybe with some extra time off work built in.

So, do you book in advance, or just turn up.

Seems a long way to go not to get a run, and I can't see a way on the site to pre book.

I assume its like any other RWYB day, apart from being a bit darker

Pay £10 at the gate to get in, fill in the form given to you, then pay £20 at the registration office and you get a wristband, then enjoy unlimited 1/4 runs!

I hope to be going.

For clarification - it is an all day event.

And I thought you only needed a helmet if you would be doing more than 100mph... No need for the Furbys!

I won't be there all day - maybe 3 hours or so...

Soooo, is it possible to maybe start a brand new thread with the date in the title so names can be added? Like I said, I'll go if many others are going, but won't go on my tod.

edit: Will i be doing more than 100mph? That is a damn good question! I know that over a distance of around 0.33/0.34 of a mile my car will top 110mph, and as a lot of that time is spent in the 100+ bracket, I'm hoping that by 0.25 of a mile I'll be in the mid 90s.

Doubtful as February doesn't have 29 days!

The dates in February are 12, 18, 19 and 26th

the 22rd and 29th are the January dates
