street nights was good but it got stopped due to locals complaining about noise, even though they still have banger racing and rallys there every month. i would be up for any new events.
And the complete idiots who used to race through the villages, after a days racing. It got stopped in the end as they organiser couldnt get sponsors due to an impending noise nuisance case which resulted in there noly being allowed 3 days of motorsport up there a year. Shame as it was a great event, very laid back and it never seemed to matter what you were racing.Yes, I'd be there; even Shakey county is hardly on the doorstep when your into the far west. There are still the remains of quite a few airfields in the SW, Chivenor sees nothing more than air/sea rescue and gliders, and the N.Devon motor club has done sprints there, but under MSA regs.
ChimTVR,- The traction issue with concrete I suspect is more to do with the poor condition of the surface; in the U S many dragstrips have concrete start pads and these strips return consistently better times, both 60ft and 1/4, once seasoned

Perhaps you are right martyn thinking about it on a prepped drag strip in reality you are launching on the rubber thats been laid down in the past rather than the tarmac itself. Also Smeatharpes surface was pretty tired and dusty but no matter how big a burnout I did I just could not get away in a reasonable time!

It was £20 per driver at Smeatharpe for unlimited runs, with, I think, £5 entrance per car to the grounds.
They had a show and shine, timing portacabin and an annoying loud of crap music being pumped out between runs.
I love Smetharpe. Only challenge, 6 second run then wait 1 1/2 hours for the next They had a show and shine, timing portacabin and an annoying loud of crap music being pumped out between runs.

Are you coming to the clay pigeon and quad biking on the 27th?
