Considering the lack of facilities provided I now think Straightliners are taking the p*ss with the pricing - it's a £25 day at best which is a shame because they are a nice bunch and Elvington is a good location for me.

York has has the advantage of a better setup (apart from the black ice start) but then the spectator prices are a bit high.... shame the two can't combine to make one decent setup.
