honda-toyota-flyerAt Sideways Racing we often get asked to hold various types of events. Often the ideas just don’t have widespread enough appeal, or would simply cost too much to stage.

This year, with the way we have planned our calendar of events, with Drag Championship rounds every OTHER month, we are able to host special events such as this one. We have been asked to settle the long standing feud between Honda & Toyota runners (in particular Starlets / Glanzas).

For this we were willing to take special measures and add Drag racing to one of the UDC (Drifting) championship events. On 4th April (Easter Sunday) Bishops Court will be the place to settle this score!

DRAG Entry fee: £40 driver & 1 passenger.
Unlimited drag runs + 1 track session.
Passengers allowed in track sessions only.

This event will be everyone’s first chance to see the current champions in action and I for one can’t wait to see their newly improved machines back in anger after the Winter lay-off.
