Well it’s safe to say the drag-racing community, their friends and family, came together and saved this historic racing venue in Melbourne, Yorkshire. But the project continues and the fundraising must be maintained to build on this incredible venue ensuring it’s future, we have a track to race on but the site requires a lot more work. The project continues in 2025.
MELBOURNE BIG SUMMER APPEAL!
HELP US RESURFACE THE REST OF MELBOURNE’S PITS! WE HAVE MANAGED TO RESURFACE A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE CAR AND BIKE PITS SO FAR BUT NOW WE NEED TO FINISH THE JOB!
HELP US DO THAT. THE TARGET IS £19,000. EVERY POUND RAISED, STRAIGHTLINERS CAN MATCH, BUT WE NEED TO DO THIS TOGETHER TO SEE IT DONE AND DONE PROPERLY!
PLEASE DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN! LETS GET THIS OVER THE LINE!
WE HAVE HAD SOME GREAT INITIAL TRACTION WHEN DISCUSSING THIS AT THE WEEKEND. WE WILL HAVE WELL OVER £1,000 FROM THE STREET WEEKEND SWEEP AND THE STICKERS SOLD. WE HAVE HAD AN AMAZING STORY OF OSCAR FULLER WHO HAS DONATED HIS £166 SAVED UP POCKET MONEY OVER THIS YEAR. THE FABULOUS STORY OF THE MOBILITY SCOOTER DAVE GLOVER HAS MADE FOR HIM ONLY FOR THE MONERY DAVE WAS PAID TO BE GIVEN STRAIGHT TO OUR PITS FUND.
WE HAVE AN AMAZING COMMUNITY. LETS GET A PITS SURFACE THAT THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT WE HAVE!
The timing fund is an extremely important resource for the UK & International Timing Adjudication as this helps to pay for damaged equipment. Unfortunately from time to time rider incidents often cause catastrophic damage to timing gear and the cost to replace it is extremely high.
We are very fortunate that support from the racing community takes some of the financial pressure off thanks to the donations given at events or by other known payment gateways that means we have money “in the pot” to spend on replacing or repairing equipment. Running events, insurance, staffing, fuel, food and maintenance of vehicles and other resources is an incredible annual cost and additional costs such as having to replace timing equipment has a huge impact on our annual funding and running costs.

All donations are gratefully accepted and we cannot express our gratitude to all of you that regularly put money into the Timing Equipment Fund.
Yours in sport, Trevor Duckworth.
