The dash for the cash is a race in its own right for people booked in for the weekend but I'm sure we can accomadate you if you just want a run on friday as long as you have your BRCA upto date

We have decided due to all the other events on the same weekend we are going to postpone it until later in the summer when there is nothing going on.

Sorry if this a dissapointment to those of you who can make it but in reality if there are less than an absolute minimum of 20 drivers per day it would nt be worth doing.

Therefore we have decided to reschedule - date to be confirmed.
