THE FOLLOWING IS JUST A BRIEF PRECIS OF THE WEEKEND, FULL DETAILS ARE IN THE EVENT REGULATIONS.

DATE:
10/11/12 May.

Friday 10th May, arrive at the Church Green YO16 7BN, unload and display the cyclekarts (local press, radio and general public in attendance).  Signing-on.  Timing is 10:00 till 17:00.  Move to the north end of the South Beach Car Park YO15 3QN to the "Hub", which is a marquee.  Drivers briefing and socialising from 18:00 to 21:00.

Saturday 11th May, this time head for the south end of the car park to unload and prepare.  Cyclekarts must be ready to move at 09:00 prompt as we will be leading a parade to the beach entry point.  We wait there till the conditions (tide) are OK, then drive onto the beach and proceed along the waterline to our pit area (20mph max) which is a mile along the beach.  Approx 1 hour display drives till the drag strip is ready.  Cyclekarts will run down the drag strip 5 abreast.  We have full use of the beach for the lunch break, then back to drag racing.  The racing ends by 16:00, then back to the hub for more socialising.

Sunday 12th May, same prompt 09:00 start and a similar programme of activities, with some changes to the drag racing part.

VENUE:
"Race the Waves" drag racing on the "South" beach at Bridlington.

DESCRIPTION:
Hot-Rod 1/8 mile drag strip Saturday and Sunday, with a 1/4 mile shoot-out on the Sunday for the fastest cars.  CKGB will be taking part in the 1/8 mile drag racing, plus we will have our own dynamic display area towards the top of the beach near the promenade.  This is to keep the public entertained whilst the tide goes out and the drag strip is set up.

CKGB LEAD:
Jim Rawnsley (Jim R).

EVENT REGULATIONS:
To be issued.  The main event will run under a NORA permit, and the CKGB activities will run under its own NORA permit.  Consequently, you will need a NORA license to drive - A year's basic CycleKart national adult license is £25 plus admin fee and available here: https://nora92.com/product/annual-licence-2024/

COSTS:
Refer to the entry form.

OTHER COMMENTS:
Bridlington will be very busy this weekend and there is also a sailing regatta and a SteamPunk festival.  Consequently, many local campsites and accomodation are already booked up.
One of the Hot-Rod racers has a campsite just north of Bridlington and is offering fellow racers a reduced rate of £25 a night including electric hook-up.  His name is Jon Hill and it is Daneswood Holiday Caravan Park, 01262 850364.

Jim R has one volunteer to marshal at this event from a member. Marshals must hold a CKGB membership, (which can be a temporary membership for the event and free of charge if you are not a driving member and want to volunteer) and instruction will be given at the event if you are new to the task. Another volunteer would be good. Contact Jim through ckgbmembership@gmail.com

“Knobbly” motor-cross type tyres will cut up the surface of the CKGB track and drag strip, consequently only “road-pattern” tyres are allowed for this event.

I will get Ian to add you to the count Paul. Having done a reconnoiter this Thursday gone, all we need is pleasant weather for a busy and fun packed weekend. The sand conditions were great when I was there, very firm and level - even the tractor tyres were not making much of an indentation, you can just see in the photo where my boot left a print! The beach is huge and the event is very well organised. I will post more later and nearer the date. If anyone else is in, just add to this post with a percentage likelihood of attendance and we will add your names to the first post in this thread

Hi Steve,  Jim R is the lead member for this event, so it will be his decision, but he is a way on China on holiday.

I'm assisting Jim with this event and both the Saturday and Sunday have an early start, therefore signing-on and drivers briefing will take place on the Friday afternoon.  If your able to be there on Friday for signing-on and briefing, then it may be possible to do just one of the two weekend days.

Very few entry forms received so far for this event, please don't leave it till the very end to submit your entry form as it results in a lot of admin for the organisers.
