    Ladies That Launch / RWYB July 21/22

    It’s a Club Day weekend here (Sat/Sun July 21st/22nd) at Long Marston Airfield’s Shakespeare County Raceway, Stratford-Upon-Avon and what better way than to get your car or motorcycle club involved in one of the cheapest and best participation sports in all of motor sports - Run What Ya Brung. So let’s hope you’ve brung enough! The weekend of fast performance is combined with the Practical Performance Car Magazine Public Track Day on Saturday 21st July and the 3rd annual For Ladies That Launch competition on Sunday 22nd July.

    Having discovered the delights of how much fun it is to race up a drag strip team PPC will be at the raceway in force. No doubt there will be a grudge match or two between magazine scribes Will and Kev on the day and who knows, you might even end up in the hallowed pages of one of the best car enthusiasts magazines around.
    Celebrating 'Women in Motor Sport’, For Ladies That launch supporting UK based charity Refuge – For Women and Children Against Domestic Violence, is an extravaganza of speed open to any female who wants to have a go with her car or motorcycle on Shakey’s famous quarter mile, and if they’re not racing you would be surprised at just how many ladies keep motor sport going as marshals, safety crews, track officials, mechanics and of course racers. So its time we celebrated the Fast Women of UK motor sport.
    Car and motorcycle clubs are welcome to come along and participate on the track or simply book a club stand to show what your clubs made of. Clubs are also actively encouraged to take part in a full-on head-to-head quarter mile shootout with other club members of their choice. Just give us a call.
    So that’s two full days of RWYB open to all makes and models of cars and motorcycles gives you the thrill or competitive straight line speed without the fear of getting zapped by a road side camera! The only camera’s point at you will be those taking photos trackside! The only ticket you’ll get is a personal performance print-out registering your reaction time to the green light, 60 ft and overall elapsed time and mph for the quarter mile drag! After all it’s the cheapest form of motor sport in the country. Its fast and its accessible whatever your age or make of vehicle in a safe and legal environment.
    Both the PPC Magazine day and For Ladies That Launch are part of a complete Public Track Day weekend package of events featuring super fast Jap cars contesting the Pro Street Drag Series, Old Skool Fords and Datsun Z cars through to Junior Dragsters and SuperTwin drag bikes tearing up the quarter mile. There will also be a show and shine area, fair and trade stalls as well as evening entertainment from singer Terrie Jane in Kenny’s Bar.
    Further information and admission details can be found at www.shakespearecountyraceway.co.uk or Facebook community pages; For Ladies That Launch and Shakespeare County Raceway. General enquires can be made by calling 01789 720180 or 01789 414119, and don’t forget your crash helmet and drivers licence to race in Run What Ya Brung. See you at the strip!

    We'd love to be there, but got to get the VVT sorted on the R first, hopefully we'll get there before the end of the year, though not sure if new borns are allowed to ride shotgun.
