95% yes :lol: depends on funds may have to take the ddddd-diesel
Been for 3 years running although not going to risk it under th canvas this year. Walking round the pits is the best part of the day.
Only thing is that it gets more commercialised each year at the first we stood no more than 50ft from CRD's supra at just under 200mph and had to run out on the strip to stop cars flying by after a scooby lost his bonnet at 170+ cracking event

Watch out for the mud. Apparently the fields are still flooded

Depends how early you turn up and you still have to walk across the grass to get to the action.............best of luck. I'll be at the VIP @ Snetterton for Touring Cars.

I'm going up on Saturday night, staying at the Parsonage Country House Hotel (Escrick, 5 mins fron Elvington) They still have rooms for anyone interested.
I love TOTB but think there are alot of safety issues perhaps overlooked especially as the cars are getting sooooo quick. Proper Drag cars are designed to run in between concrete safety barriers. I think it was a couple of years ago Bob Rawle lost it in his circa 500bhp scoob. Luckily the car went in to the field, it car was all but wrecked...... Doesn't bear thinking about if it had gone the other way....
Pod or Shakespear would be a better venues IMO.
