I've been asked to pass on details of a different day @ Elvington on the 24th Sept, where they are having a top speed records day for bikes and cars.

open to anyone, they will be timing one vehicle at a time using the full main tarmac runway.

£50 on the day to compete. Very rare to get a chance of a proper top speed attempt day on the main runway so be there from 9am if you wish to run!

this may be of interest to a few of the big power skylines, so apologies for posting in here and in the events section.

hi gaz
speed trap will be at @ 1.25miles i believe and i will check the noise level situation for this event and get back to you.
as mentioned, will be run with prevailing wind from behind which is unusual for elvington, normally into a headwind. When they run in this config they also sometimes use the bottom bend as a run up to give a flying start. braking distance is around 1/2mile.
