GTR Register, The 200+ Club, Team Subaru, Mitsubishi Lancer Register, Vipers, GTO UK, 200SXOC, GT4OC, Skyline Owners Club, Hondas UK, UK Supras, GTIR-OC, RS Cosworth & RS Turbo, Performance Rover Group, FDUK, CCC UK, Fiat Coupes, IMOC MR2, Performance Vauxhalls, Westfield’s and others.

We still have space available for suitable cars that are not part of an existing club/group/team. Performance car Tuners can also apply to compete, either as part of one of the existing Team entries or as individuals, subject to approval and sufficient space.

Spectator ticket prices are kept at the same price yet again, and are available in advance at just £15 from our website, or alternatively can be purchased on the gate on the day from 9am onwards at £20 per adult. Ticket purchases can be made after 1st March via http://shop.totb.co.uk/products.asp
Our phoneline number is also on the website for credit card ordering. Clubs and groups can also obtain further discount on entry tickets if purchased in bulk, email us for details.

We are pleased to announce that The Organisation Ltd will once again be arranging the Trade display areas on our behalf. Contact details for all trade/advertising and sponsorship enquiries listed below.

Other planned improvements to the event include further raised grandstand seating areas and the return of the Top speed spectator viewing area which was very popular, accessed via a site bus. The top speed trap will also now be set at a standing mile distance, to utilise a recognised distance for this part of the competition.

The event format remains largely the same other than a slight tweak to the points scoring system for the Overall Champion. The Overall Redline TOTB 5 Champion Award will still be based on total points scored from all 3 events (1/4m, handling and Top speed) plus any bonus points gained from the handling or drag shootout finals. We are however instigating a bonus point for competing in all 3 events, plus additional bonus points for anyone who scores overall in all 3 events, which is a fantastic achievement.

The drag and handling shootouts will now only attract a single point bonus for the winner, as opposed to the original 3 points given previously.
The team trophy is also certain to be highly contested this year, being awarded to the club with the best points total combined from each team member.

Crash.net will be supplying a results service to both public and pitlane areas where information can be updated on the event scores and leaderboard.

The Closing date for all competitor entries is 2nd July 2006. There will be a further short period for any last minute team changes or for reserves to take up any places that become available. Please note no refunds will be made after 2nd July. No changes will be made to any team sheets after 14th July 2006 when the entry lists become final.

"The event will take place at Elvington Airfield on Sunday 30th July 2005 from 10am onwards"


DAMN, looks like i missed it

 

The change to a 1 mile top speed challenge should make cracking 200mph particuarly difficult, although im sure the RB skyline etc will still do it!

 

oh shit,thats the morning after global gathering,ive already got my ticket so i best sort out a designated driver

 

Your ticket would be for last year too then I presume rauri ?

As Adam has spotted the press release says 2005 and not 2006

 

wonder if the crash.net girls from totb3 will be there. one of them was proper nice and will be getting asked for her number if she is

 

I look forward to hearing you on the scott mills show mate

 

The new revised scoring system make it better for an all-round car now, like it should be

 

might go for the crack. meant to be a good day out i believe. some mental cars there

 

tosser

 

Why arent they scoring in classes though?

Whats the point of having a team event with a FWD class if you dont announce a FWD overall winner and winning team in the class etc?

 

They always announce class winners, and give out class winner prizes.

Dont they

 

They dont do a score board in each discipline for each class normally no.

I have spoken to Chris Mann by email now though and he says they WILL score it like that, but will be a day or two after the event as it takes time to compile, which is fair enough of course.

Just makes it that much more interesting if everyone can really see exactly where they placed.

 

I went last year, to the jap one when `id got my evo, great day out will be there just by chance there was a scooby there white, with ZEN on the side, does anyone know about this car, cus it was aewsome, so was Andy Forrests........ Yes i know this is a ford site, so dont start

 

The Zen Performance is stupidly fast.

We timed it at Brunters last year at 0-60 in 2.6 and 0-100 in 5.6

 

I love that car, it was blowing some serious machinery away, the way it leaves the line is mental

 

me eyes went like

 

Then it got blown into the weeds completely and utterly by the RB Motorsport Skyline of Keith Cowie

 

Yeh but thats got close to 900bhp how does the skyline fair on the handling course

 

Mine can do it so Kieth will do it very easily as im sure will a few others.

 

Will yours be at the event then Rod?

 

never noticed the 2005 bit....but the 30th of july is a sunday this year

 

Erm......its always held on a sunday

 

yes i know...so if the 30th is a sunday this year the 30th cudnt have been a sunday in 2005

you and heepsy will be there again this year i take it?

 

dont know how the 2005 date was in that as i sent out a revision to clubs with
"Redline Ten of The Best 5 -Announcement – Press Release
(27th Feb 2006.)

It’s our pleasure once again to invite you all to Redline Ten of the Best 5. The event will take place at Elvington Airfield on Sunday 30th July 2006 from 10am onwards."

but anyway the date is of course july 30th 2006.

info in the totb section for discussions etc.
rgds

 

0-100 in 5.6 fook me

 

You should try doing the 1/8th mile at 123mph in 6.2 sec

Keith

 

Fook Kieth, bet that rips your face off

 

Its not that bad,the first time that i drive it up the 1/4 mile at a event
is is a bit

But after i have done 2 flat-out passes it seems slow

Keith

 

If thats seems slow to you, i wouldn`t want you to drive back home in my cossy the words SNAIL come to mind

 

Ok then it is not slow
what I should of said was that it does not terrify me as much

 

Anything different on the car for this year Kieth?

 

Hi Staffi

It is now a 3L engine with a big single that will run 1250 bhp
we should be up another 200bhp from last year.
