Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
Whilst discussion is healthy may I ask that postings about Elvington are made following research and consideration of factual information. Should we lose the use of the runway 26 there will be no land speed sport in the UK. Thank You. Wise words. Less to do with any characteristic of the venue than...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
Does it really say 'Starship Bluebird' at the bottom of that plate or has some joker been messing with Photoshop? Just took a peek at his Facebook and, yes, I can confirm that Brian Eastham does indeed call his motorcycle “Starship Bluebird”. If there was a symbol for “cringe” I would post it.....

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
Respect is something you earn and Donald and Sir Malcom commanded that respect. However, riding their coat tails and attempting to capitalise on their successes does not command respect at all.

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin
But that seems to be a regular thing, I recall having to take time off work and driving to a house spending the entire day with a team of volunteers doing a fingertip search of what I can only describe as being a golf course in the rain for a certain lost St Christopher.
