100mphscooter.com “Scooter-Shootout” Following discussions with Straightliners, 100mphscooter.com will hold a ‘100% Scooter Event’ at Elvington Airfield, York, YO41 4AU on Sunday 02 October 2011. This event will be the first of its kind, and will be a one day event which will incorporate the likes of a Show and Shine/Custom Show, Trade Stands, Parts Fair, Clothes Stalls, Scooter Importers and Distributors with facilities to test ride the newest model scooters etc. etc. But what makes this different to a regular scooter event is a 500metre drag strip! In an attempt to promote UK Scooter Sprinting there will be demo runs from 100mphscooter.com riders, and classes for everyone that would like to have a go. For example ‘The UK’s Fastest TS1’ - ‘The UK’s Fastest Smallframe Vespa’ - ‘The UK’s Fastest Auto up to 100cc’ - ‘The UK’s Fastest Auto up to 200cc’ – ‘The UK’s Fastest Scooter Wheelie’ and so on. It will be the only event where you can test the performance of your scooter legally, knowing that the only ticket you will receive is a ticket with your Terminal Speed on it. Run those ‘Grudge Runs’ between mates or between clubs, or simply show your scooter is the fastest in its class, and take home a nice trophy stating you are the UK’s Fastest. If this year’s event is a success, there is a big chance that next year’s event could be a whole weekend held in mid summer. So we really need your support! Pass the word on to everyone who rides a scooter, whether it’s a work mate, a school mate or your local scooter club. We want the event to be enjoyed by everyone who attends. And with that in mind we are asking for your thoughts and suggestions, without you guys we won’t be able to do it. Please go to www.facebook.com/100mphscooter and let us have your comments on this event. Thanks. Pete.
