Now approaching its fifth year, the California Look Drag Day will be moving to a new home for 2013. The new venue is Shakespeare Country Raceway in Warwickshire, a track favoured by many thanks to its facilities but also - and just as important for an event which harks back to the golden age of VW Drag Racing - the amazing atmosphere of the place. Home track to many nostalgia race series’ and drag racing clubs, a trip here drags you right back to the halcyon days of the gasser wars.

Also new for this year
is the change in format to a full weekends festivities, with the opportunity to see some of the quickest flat four VW Street and Drag cars laying the rubber down in anger over a whole weekend. Saturday will be open RWYB, and on Sunday we’ll be having Flat Four VW-only Eliminators. There will be the usual Saturday afternoon show and shine, as well as the Bench Racers Ball on Saturday night at Kenny's Bar where racers get the chance to line up grudge matches for the following day, learn from each other’s experience or just enjoy an evening’s fun with like minded VW fanatics. Camping is available on site, as well as bar and food facilities and we look forward to welcoming racers from all over the UK & Europe to race along with us. With a selection of gassers, cal lookers and drag cars all heading down, along with the debut of a number of new (and resurrected!) race cars its sure to be an exciting weekend for anyone who loves hearing a Flat Four screaming at 8,000 rpm. More details will be made available online over the coming weeks. For more information please visit:www.ukdragday.com.

Public Track Weekend: Racing a mate over the quarter mile is still the purest and easiest way to get a genuine racing fix. Open to all makes and models of cars and motorcycles (literally ANY motor where talking about), the weekend's Test & Tune gives you the thrill and competitive straight line speed without getting zapped by those annoying road side cameras or getting an unnecessary speeding ticket! The only cameras pointing at you will be the track side photographers. And the only tickets you'll receive will be your own personal performance printout registering your reaction time, 60ft, eighth mile and overall time and speed. Its fast and its accessible to a variety of ages and vehicles in a safe and legal environment. It really is as simple as that. Car and motorcycle clubs are welcome to come along and display or take to the track! Just give us a call.

Get Your Club Involved: If you are looking for a venue to hold a club day, then look no further and combine your next meeting with one of our Run What Ya Brung weekends. We can offer your club your own dedicated club area. The only cost to you would be the normal £12 admission fee and £25/£40 sign-on fee for unlimited runs of the track. After each run on the track your members will receive a performance printout so you'll be able to organise your own Run What Ya Brung competition and award the quickest and fastest racer of the day, accordingly of course!

If you would like to book your own club in for a RWYB Public Track Weekend then please call 01789 720180 or e-mail: enquiries@shakespearecountyraceway.co.uk. Alternatively leave us a message on our Facebook page.

PLEASE NOTE: All RWYB drivers regardless of cars, times and speeds are required to wear a crash helmet in order to compete on the track. Helmet hire is available at the track on the day for a nominal fee. Contact us for further details or take a look at our Essential Guide on the Run What Ya Brung information page.
