[MotorPsycho]

4th-5th August, anyone else going?

we're taking the '34 to get some track time in after the rain at the Nostalgia Nationals, match racing against Steve Saunders' Zephyr

[marT350T]

I'll be there with the mid-engined polo to see what it will do.

[FunkyNige]

I'm tempted to go to watch as I've never been to a drag racing event before and have been meaning to pop over for a while. Any idea how much it will cost to get in? I can't find any info online.

[MotorPsycho]

can't imagine it would be much, I'll ask around and get back to you

[marT350T]

I think it's 10 english pounds to spectate.

Ill look forward to seeing you there and racing with steve. My mate dave mc with yellow model A is good mates with him.. Ive just text dave to see if he knows steve is going as he has not said out to me about it..
Its been about 4 or 5 years since steve has raced at york hasnt it ??

[MotorPsycho]

yea Steve's been out for awhile rebuilding the car, new chassis and a heavily chopped roof

[leecb05]

ill be there next week with lee gallimore and his blown alky alterd
Lee

[peterwalters]

Ill be there, not racing though

[topfueldrags]

It sure would be nice to see a big turn out at York this w,end. Wonder if a big number of fellow fans and racers from down south will come? York needs the support just as much as the others do, its a nice run up, its only £15 to get in for the full w,end and kids get in free.

In the last hour when most of the finals were run I counted a maximum of 30 spectators in the stands and 27 on the bank. As the final of the American Super Stock was run the spectators had dwindled to 12 in the stands 16 on the banking. I would say there was 500 to a max of 800 people in attendance at any one point during the day.Fantastic sunshine and a good variety of racing. Where was everyone??

Did RWYB for frist time and loved it, beets just sitting and spectating, got burned to a crip when car ahead of me droped his oil and had wait on the stat line for a good 20, 30 minutes

and well done Adam

I think its a long way for some to come, sad times for travel and it can only get worse. Whats needed is more racers and fans from the North to get interested and to join York raceway, a lot of young ones don't know its there even! Could do with spreading the word getting more publicity and using the track more if that's pos, If the guys who do a brill job running it can get time also!

Some first pic's of york here from james on the MMA site-
