Any racing on over the christmas/new year period in the UK?

Circuit racing at Mallory Park on Boxing Day and Kirkistown (N.I.) on the 27th. I guess there's some rallying on - usually one at Croft and one in the NW.

Longmoor Loco single venue rally at Longmoor camp (down the A3 past Guildford) on 30th December. Not open to the public so if you want to see the action you'll need to marshal or hook up with a crew.

There's a few banger / stock car meetings on as well, saw it advertised in Short Circuit magazine. I know one of the meeting's Wimbledon IIRC but afraid I can't remember if it was 26th or 27th! There are also other "festive" meetings on in the run-up to Christmas. Believe this is Short Circuit's website but not sure if all the dates will be on there or not as it was an advertisement I believe in the mag.

Its on boxing day and there is one on new years day as well at Wimbledon.

Boxing day has big van bangers on the bill amongst other things and new years day is some form of hot rods, but I can't remember which ones (soz) www.spedeworth.co.uk should have all the details.

Just found my copy of short circuit in a tidy up! The hot rods on New Years Day is the 2l National Hot Rods.

Bar the Boxing Day meeting at Wimbledon, closest events to Christmas I can see is a meeting at Great Yarmouth on 27th Dec with a national banger annual winter bash, and a meeting at Foxhall on 17 Dec with "Santa's banger rookie riot Christmas special" as they've billed it!

According to SC, http://www.spedeworth.net is the wesbite for the Southern office and http://www.spedeworth.co.ukn is the website for the East Anglian office.

My lad is getting a Scalectrix for Christmas, so there will be racing throughout the festive period.
