Very good. :thumbright:

It is about time we had something to encourage people to use all the tracks in this country.

I think it would have been even more interesting if a couple of the tracks were circuits though. Maybe in the future? Something to think about maybe.

Great idea, look forward to seeing how it plays out :)

Dave - a 'One lap of America' kinda thing over here could do that, would be tough to organise though, lol.

Great idea, I hope to participate, but will be picking up lots of penalties as the car is nowhere near ready yet............ :cry:

Should be good,as most racers/RWYBers do at least two or three of these events,rumour as it surreymuscle have got more muscle this year.
To win though,I think you will have to do all eight runs,and be consistant,
11 or 12 sec average could win because of the penalties,fantastic.
