Ride Out and Race – Sunday 18/4/10

As Stratford is nice and Shakespeare County Raceway is very close by I suggest we combine the two this Sunday.

I propose a little run out around Stratford Upon Avon followed by a trip to the Baguette barge for a Bacon Sandwich (or a light salad if you’re like Radar). Then a trip over to the nearby Drag Strip where there is a RWYB (Run What Ya Brung) Weekend on. Admission is £12 on the gate and £20 if you want to try your hand at Drag racing for as many runs as you or your bike can handle. As well as Bikes (The Bandit owners club are there) there will also be cars. I’ve been to a few of these and it is always a great day with a good mix of complete novices and professional teams looking to get some testing done.

Anyone up for it?

Here is the link and blurb from the Shakespeare County Raceway website:

Public Track Weekend & Quick 32 Gamblers Shootout: 17/04/2010 – 18/04/2010

It’s club day here at Shakespeare County Raceway and what better way to get your club involved in one of the best participation sports in all of motorsports – Run What Ya Brung. So let’s hope you’ve brung enough!

Plus for every driver and rider signing up for RWYB on Sunday will automatically gain entry into the race track’s popular Sunday Track Challenge. A simple time trial competition to find the quickest 4, 5, 6 and 8 cylinder category cars of the day as well as the quickest manufactured motorcycle in the Trophy Bike Dash. Who knows at the end of the day you might be going home with some goodies and an exclusive Shakespeare County Raceway Challenge Trophy for your efforts and all conducted in a safe and legal environment.

Sunday will also feature the first of the raceway’s special Quick 32 Bracket Gamblers Races with cash prizes for the winner and runner-up. Are you tough enough to enter the 32? Details can be fund on the Downloads page.

Clubs are also actively encouraged to take part in a full on quarter mile shootout with other club members of their choice. It’s the cheapest form of motorsport in the country! For further details get in touch with us on 01789 720180 or take a look at our RWYB information page.

Please note: All drivers taking part in RWYB Public Track Days are required to wear a Crash Helmet whatever times or speeds the vehicle is capable of doing over a quarter of a mile. The requirement is there for your safety. If you are competing with a motorcycle, a helmet, leathers, gloves and boots are required. No trainers of jeans allowed. So don’t forget your Driving Licence and Crash Helmet!
