TOTB at Elvington

[mk1nova_rich]

£20 in, seems very expensive to me...is it worth paying that much?? My neighbour suggested going as its only a 30 minute drive for us.

[craig green]

That does seem steep. I'd want a passenger ride in every car for that.

Organisers of events these days really know how to rape their customers IMO.

[Sloth]

ouch, i may fook it off tbh.... depends...

[craig green]

To think a car full of lads would cost a ton to get into an airfield!! I know there is public liability insurance for the organisers to pay, but I bet it doesnt come to £20 per head, or the cost of portaloo's.

Piss take!

[mk1nova_rich]

well there was gona be me, him and their lass plus their two youngest kids. Assuming kids were free (both under 2) it would still be £60 :eek:

[craig green]

Exactly, bet your lass dont REALLY wanna go?

[Stuart]

And then a £10 burger....

UK 'motorsport' establishments are some of the WORST facilities in the world and somehow we manage to pay top money for it :s Always confuses the crap out of me

[mk1nova_rich]

its an airfield FFS, i went to Ford Fair at Silverstone a few years ago, that was only £11 with advance booking and its at a proper venue

[Will F]

Didnt they used to keep it a 'closed' event? (no spectators)

Prob just trying to make up for all those years they missed out! lol

[blue_peg_16v]

expensive but your guarenteed quick motors yorkrace way is also running that weekend and thats £10 to spectate with no guarentees on what will turn up and its in alot worse state than elvington

[Sloth]

its safer to use the a1079 to race on than york strip...

[bazil]

to me elvington is just a runway with some cones??????

Rob - its comments like that, that give the place a bad name, when did you last race there?

Its no Santa Pod, but its our local track and with things the way they are, it will prob close soon, which would be a great loss I think and also mean we are travelling 200 miles each way to Pod as Elvington is only running 1 RWYB this yr.... and prob none after that.

Rant over! ;)

aye,i hate it,its the worst road in the norf.
A64 ftw

[Spudly]

Roads out to your spot from me (staxton way) and winterton road towards scunny are properly mint roads but were going rather off topic now lol

Btw ya never replied to my text last night mate you all good?

[Andy]

yeah all is fine now

[Sloth]

apologies but the last time i was at york actually using the strip, it was very bumpy at the top end, dangerously so, and tbh i found the grip an issue when launching. it really needs a serious investment and totally redoing.
i meant the old a1079 when there was no cash machines...
