Thu 10th February 1211

24 April Easter Sunday
Is the 16 annual mini beetle shoot out, with minis from Layland to BMW from standard to highly tuned, with minis with Honda vetec’s, motorbike engines or even twin-engine minis. Vs. beetle’s from the street and drag racing worlds putting down time and speeds that should never be possible with a car designed 70 year ago. With a few campers for good look. The start of the day will be qualifying, minis wont be able to run against the beetles until Qualifying is done then around 3pm the main event the minis will queue up along side the beetles then fired down the 1/4mile two by two each win counts as a point. Can the reigning champions the Minis hold of the Beetles for another year? York Raceway is going to hold its first ever, rolling burnout competition on Easter bank holiday. Participants will be encouraged to drag their burnouts across the startline or to keep it in for as long as possible and maybe even do figure of 8 in the centre of the track. There is no restriction to the type of vehicle. And no restriction to the use of props like flares and no pressure to burst the tyre, the perfect opportunity to send off an old pair of tyres or to bed in a new set. This competition is not about sitting stationary and see who can burst their tyres first this is about style, panache and more importantly skill.

33rd Annual Street Racer Championship

Wed 9th February 2011

This is the hardest championship known to the street legal racecars. Not only are their wits up against it but so are car designs and set ups too. Held after a long day’s qualifying; the Street Racer Championship has 1 round of qualifying. The only rest these cars are going to have is whilst the ladder and pairing up is taking place. Once every thing is ready the cars race. Its heads up! Once a car wins its straight round and into the fire up lane ready to immediately go up against the next car in the next race. No cool down time. The engines don’t even get turned off. This continues until there is only one car left and they are crowned the winner. This is pushing the cars to the limit with the drivers having to use their best drag racing brains to ensure their car reaches the final without cooking, over heating or breaking which regularly happens. Previous winners include Andy Carter, Bill Sheratt, John Sleath, and Nigel Parkin.
