Streetwars Is No More!

[kevlorn]

The crew from Sunday street wars have decided not to continue with their own events. “It was a hard decision with a lot of soul searching to find out what to do for the best” said Lee Child. “We have lost count of the many hours, weeks and months spent on Smeatharpe airfield arranging and running the events”.

With no outcome to the noise abatement so far, trying to promote the 2009 season is very hard for Dakota Drag strip. The biggest mountain to climb is getting sponsorship and advertisers without a confirmed venue. Another set back we had was with RAF Portreath. The event was moved to September but had to be cancelled, because the runway surface got damaged, so we understand, by a number of demo runs at a different event.

Because of this decision the Sunday street wars crew have full Portatree timing system for sale with options for ¼ mile and 1/8 mile. We also have track equipment for sale like a Berrymans spreader and glue sprayer.

“This doesn’t mean I am giving up the sport, I am still available for track

prep and consultancy for running a safe event” added Lee.

will look into alternative events for next year.

[Guest petenofear1]

ya it is a shame

but dont forget if it was not for streetwars there we would not have lost the moto x and the banger raceing

it was all down to street wars sorry needed to be said and not happy about it

but as i said it is a shame that is no longer

but i do know of some where this could happen again MAY BE

just need to talk to the land owner

[jd]

dont think the blame lies completely with stretwars as the noise abatement order is a smoke screen.

the real reason behind the closure is the numpty chavs racing up & down the road to the strip, therefore the blame could lie with the local police for not doing something about it.

sorry had 1 or 2 beers when i put that up

and its not really down to streetwars or lee

it is the little asshole chavs driving like nob's through the viliage that has done it for all us

plus the to gooders that have moved down from xxxxxx just to have a holiday home and complain

it is such a shame as as jd will say i really enjoyed it and we all had some good fun there

one think i did think it was a little to much to get in £5 each thats should of been £5 a car not each

but the £20 for as many runs as u can do was nat to bad

i agree,more police on the routes in and out would have probably stopped this,but to late now...the roads a very fast in this area,which i can understand would pi*s the locals off if cars came screaming past them on event days...if i lived there i'd have a stinger ready to flatten the chavs tyres lol
