thing I like about North Weald is that its not been found out by the saxo kru's yet Its normally loads of muscle cars and people setting up cars etc you still get a few bikes thou

Get loads of runs in and none of the stop start lunch times etc

Franco Sundays looking good

Faye night racing sounds cool do they get the funny jet cars thingy's out?

Paul, I may be wrong, but we were told a couple of years back that the local council were no longer licensing the airfield for RWYB days. All of the old events like Street Racer Sunday and Gary's Picnic moved elsewhere.

Tis true the council did stop licensing it, but as Kev said they ran a few last year and I'm pretty sure the first one this year is the middle of May. Will try to find out more

Cool, will be well up for that. Was my favourite venue when they used to run the Street Racer Sundays there.
