is it on tomorrow or has it been abandoned?

[Pistol Pete]

At a complete guess, tomorrows meeting may well have been cancelled after a fatal crash. Try ringing them and confirm?

That's literally 2 public drag racing deaths with as many days between, accident at Crail resulted in a fatal on Friday after a battle for his life.

Why? Show must go on and all that jazz.

[mowgli]

if racing was 100% safe, nobody would take part & nobody would watch.

[Nobby]

Plus York raceway is a business and needs to make money, thoughts go out to the family but as me and Phil said yesterday wouldnt stop me running today.
