Viva Vauxhall Finally it is here! The first 1/4mile Thrash & Drift of 2021

This one is mainly for Vauxhalls so the majority of trophies are only available to Vauxhalls BUT the good news is you can take part in the 1/4mile, Drifting and Show n Shine with any vehicle.

However, as you will be aware there are still vital covid regulations in place to ensure your safety. We ask that you read this information carefully and respect the conditions we have to operate under so we can keep the wheels turning, literally.

NO DRIVE-IN OR WALK-IN SPECTATORS ARE PERMITTED. To enter you have to be taking part in the session in one of the following ways – 1/4 mile Thrash – Drifting – Static Show Cars (Including Top5)- Club Stand Cars.

THERE IS NO NEED TO PRE-REGISTER, however, please note the following…1/4MILE & DRIFTING: On arrival tell us you are taking part in the 1/4mile and/or Drifting and you’ll be directed to the box for signing on.

CLUBS: The Best Club Stand competition is open to VAUXHALL/OPELs ONLY. We ask that all club co-ordinators email steve@crailraceway.co.uk with the club name and expected number of static cars for your stand. On arrival tell us which club you belong to and you will be directed to your display area.

SHOW CARS / TOP 5 – The TOP 5 competition is open to VAUXHALL/OPELs ONLY. However, there is a trophy for ‘BEST NON-VAUXHALL’ so any car is permitted to take part. For the show cars, an independent judge/judges will pick 5 Vauxhalls (and 1 Non-Vauxhall) that merit a trophy. Please note as always this is not strictly ‘show n shine’. It may not be the cleanest cars, but ones that appeal to the judges on the day eg it could be clever styling, an unusual engine conversion or a nice interior install etc. There’s no need to contact us beforehand to book, just tell us on arrival you’re taking part in the ‘Show n Shine’ and you’ll be directed to your display area.

*PLEASE AWAIT FURTHER NEWS NEXT WEEK FOR EACH EVENT, THERE IS NO NEED TO MESSAGE THE PAGE AT THIS TIME UNTIL WE KNOW MORE DETAILS*Thanks as always for your support

As you will be aware, the government announced that the travel ban was lifted early (Friday 16th April). Unfortunately, as this was so unexpected, it doesn’t give us enough time to re-arrange a session for sooner Sessions to take place. We understand this will be frustrating, however, the fact things are moving quicker with regards to lockdown easing is good news overall and hopefully means future days/sessions/events can be open to more people at a sooner stage. Once again, thanks for your patience, please keep checking the page for news of our May sessions as these now look like going ahead as planned. Hang in there….we’ll soon all be dragging and drifting like before

With no further updates from Scottish Government in any easing of restrictions – a Reminder that the Open Track & Drift Session on Sunday 28th March is for FIFE ONLY. Each Driver will need to provide proof of address on arrival and if you can’t provide this or are not a resident in Fife – you WILL be turned away. As advised in our last post, we have consulted with both Fife Council on the restrictions in place and the local Police, who have also advised they may well be in attendance on the day. For all details in attending as a driver taking part, please refer to the previous post. Thanks as always for your support
