Also do you need a helmet for the 1/4 mile and do you race another person or is it single runs?

Single runs, yes you most likely need a helmet but if you want to enter and don't have a lid I'm sure I could lend mine out and about!

I'm debating on wether to go or not as I have the MOT on tuesday, and don't want to break anything and not have time to fix it.

If it is dry I am going, I am collecting Designated Driver on Sun morning, then down thru Lisburn/Belfast, so any non-smoking/seatbelt wearing/clean shoed people that need a lift, drop me a pm :grinning:

If it is wet, I am staying at home or going shopping!!

Now you're talking. Flushbus couldn't do it, mondello doesn't have a long enough stretch of track - if kirkistown did something like that the place would end up being packed out.
