    A little drag strip and drift action?

    http://www.driftanddrag.co.uk/

    IF this is all that it seems then previous trips up to Smeatharpe have been a good cheap day. Drag racing was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and people moan about the lack of drift action in the SW.

    But for some reason it all seems a bit dodgy to me, naff website, smeatharpe has noise issues with the locals, other websites are not that kind about the organisers and November seems a funny time to do it.

    Has anybody else heard about this event is it OK or am just judging it on the poor website?

    Ditto

    Also spelling the location right generally helps

    Maybe someone on the scooby forum in the links section knows more ?

    I'll keep digging and if it turns out alright I'll go along. My SX will still be off the road but with my 205 still badged up as a 1.6 I might still have some fun on the drag strip.

    have my trailer now - need a uber cheap non road legal drift car for the day...

    I'd use the 200 but I dont want to risk damage and it'll probs be SORN for winter by then.

    they really do come across as some dodgy people- but we had a awesome day when they held an advent on @ Thorney island.

    hope this helps
