Event Description

The Speed Trials starts early. As a competitor i turn up around 7am as there is lots to do before we get going; signing on, fitting timing strut, etc.

If you are a competitor with a trailer then please do turn up early. You need to get unloaded and your car into its rightful place, and then your tow car and trailer must be left up the end of Madeira Drive in the car park, sealed off until the end of the day. As you can imagine, 50 people doing this makes for a complete shambles, hence turning up early!

Officially practice starts at 9am and is in no particular order (unlike the timed runs that go in class order) but the public can get through the gates from about 8am. Before I used to compete I preferred turning up early to spectate as you can walk the paddock while its relatively deserted and see all the amazing cars and bikes. Its starts to fill in earnest from about 11am. Vague running times for the day go like this:

7.30am   Signing on
9am   Practice
11.30am   1st Timed Runs
1pm - 1.50pm   Lunch Break
2pm   Timed Runs continue
6pm   Finish

 

Tickets

You cannot buy tickets for the Speed Trials in advance, but you'll be fine to turn up on the day. We've never turned anyone down!

“The Voice” & His Vehicles
