Well its easter again and this year the Minis defend the title after the beetles scuttled off home as the LOOOO-SERS last year. A group of us from the north east are headin to York Raceway for this years event.

There is racing all day from minis v beetles to jap cars, bikes, funny cars and american muscle. And the nova boys' burberry cavalry to provide light entertainment.

Its £10 per car full to spectate
£30 to race but you'll get a few runs at the quarter for that plus bragging rights when the minis are victorious

Timetable is:
8am - gates open
9am - scrutineering starts
10am - signing on starts
10.30am - racing starts
Qualifiers for the shootout are through the day and the shootout itself is usually bout 3pm

One thing i will say is wrap up warm as those who attended the tg run will testify air strip sites are a tad exposed.

Post code for the strip is YO42 4SS. We'll probably convoy down but route is tbc.

The list:
1 vigilante
2 hangusdamini
3 M4 CUS
4 Philly_C
5

The Possibles:
1AlexBRGCooper
