Run What Ya Brung Classes:

The RWYB classes will run across the RWYB day on Saturday and The Fast Show on Sunday. So if you want to guarantee yourself plenty of track time with minimal queuing then make sure to come along for the Saturday as well when the track will stay open late for evening racing. The cut off point for the competition will be 3.30pm on Sunday, any times run after 3.30pm will not be eligible for the trophies.

There are seven Run What Ya Brung classes for the Fast Show:

A - Front Wheel Drive
B - Front Wheel Drive with Turbo, Nitrous and/or Supercharger
C - Rear Wheel Drive
D - Rear Wheel Drive with Turbo, Nitrous and/or Supercharger
E - 4 Wheel Drive
F - "Muscle Car" 8+ cylinder engines
X - Non Road Legal

Classes A-E are for cars with less than 8 cylinder engines only. Road legal cars must run on UK road-legal tyres with full electrics. One headlight may be removed for air induction. All cars on slicks, and all cars with questionable road-legality will go into class X.

You will be given a race number once you have signed on, and this, along with your race class must be displayed on your rear window in white marker.

Rules & Regulations:

A full valid recognised driving licence is required to sign-on.

Seat belt is mandatory for your own safety

Helmets required for bikes and open top cars and vehicles doing 110 mph or more at the finish line. Arm straps required in open top cars.

Before you go on to the track you need to visit the signing on office (located below the tower near the startline) to sign a declaration form and pay your signing on fee (note: price varies between events)

Signing on procedure:

Make sure you take your driving licence and cash for signing on.

1. Walk over to the signing on office at the base of the tower.
2. Present your driving licence and Signing on fee to the staff in the signing on office.
3. Collect your RWYB vouchers, wrist-band, and vehicle movement pass.
4. You may now move your vehicle over to the fire-up lane to join the back of the RWYB queue.
5. Once you have completed your runs, please return to your campsite or parking spot.

On Track Procedure:

If you haven't done RWYB before, here's what you have to do:

1. Attempt a burnout in the water patch under the tower when the start line is clear of the previous pairing. How you do this will depend on whether your car is front or rear wheel drive. This will help warm the tyres, and warm the crowd to you! Don't attempt to burn out in 4WD cars unless you know what you are doing. something will break!
2. Roll up to the start line slowly when the starter beckons you forward. Try and stay roughly level with your opponent.
3. As your front wheels reach the start line, a pair of orange bulbs will light on your side of the starting "tree" This means you are "pre-staged" and you are just inches away from being in the right position.
4. Roll forward a fraction more, and another pair of orange bulbs will light below the first pair. This means that you are in the right starting position.
5. When both you and your opponent have all staging lights lit, you are ready to go, so lift you engine revs, and get ready to drop the clutch.the starting tree lights will flash orange and then immediately green. Now is the time to GO! GO! GO!
6. Don't worry if you mess it up- the starting official will help you do the right thing. keep an eye on him for direction.
7. You can collect your timing slip from the signing on office. There is no charge for collecting your print-outs.
