California Look Drag Day 2013

[stussyrich]

Preparations are now taking place for 2013’s  UK Cal Look Drag Day.
We already have support from the top UK Race and Cal Look clubs and looking forward to welcoming along many of the quickest Flat Four Hot VW’s from the UK and Europe to the first of 2 events this year.
Drag Day 2013
Shakespeare County Raceway 6th-7th April.

Watch this space for updates.
   
The California Look Drag Day is a drag racing event based around the spirit of 60’s and 70’s California, surrounded by fire breathing Aircooled Race cars and Cal Lookers held here in the UK at Shakespeare County Raceway.
Racing is open to flat four VW powered vehicles that are capable of completing the ¼ mile in under 15.99 seconds.
Spectators are welcome to come and enjoy the atmosphere.
This event is ALL ABOUT RACING, aimed at the true petrol heads of the VW scene. The camaraderie of fellow racers and the roar of the flat four is the entertainment, dressing up is strictly limited to race suits and helmets. Any dancing which takes place, is from inside the vehicle and involves a steering wheel and an attempt to launch in a straight line.
We hope to welcome as many of Europe’s finest Hot VW’s along to Shakespeare County Raceway for this, the fifth annual Cal Look Drag Day .
See you there!

More suited to the ethos that is 'Drag Day' IMHO  

[Stefan Rossi]

Much better venue cant wait!

Only 20 miles from my house maybe I can get there and race all on one tank

Dokke, if you can get a few of you together please email drag-day@live.co.uk and we will talk to the ferry companies about a deal.

Really looking forward to the new venue, big thanks to Peter Shattock and Bernard Newbury for helping bringing it to Shakey. Unfortunately I'm too young (and on the wrong side of the pond) to have ever known what the drag strips frequented by DKP et al were actually like, but Shakey certainly has that nostalgic feeling to it, but at the same time having great facilities and a friendly and helpful marshaling crew.

If anyone wants heads up on what we're doing this year, plus hopefully again some freebies etc. please register your interest by emailing drag-day@live.co.uk if possible with your home address too, you may get a nice surprise through the post  and please be assured NO SPAM, NO DATA SHARING with ANYONE etc.

For all the details.


See you there!

My favourite track because its surrounded by beautiful countryside. If your Mrs isn't right into racing she can have a day out in Stratford upon Avon.

I agree completely Peter. There are plenty of National Trust properties nearby too, we actually had a few days extra holiday after the Open Sport Nationals at Shakey over bank holiday weekend. My wife has asked to book the caravan into a Caravan Club site nearby so that she can do the culture thing again and I can go racing! I'll be there in the street car at least...
