Runs start on the North side, for people coming from the South like me we have to pay the £1.20 to get through lol

From there you will be directed to a holding area, runs will start at 12:00 Midnight

Runs will consist of 15 cars per group, running through to the south side up to testos roundabout and back through to the North end

Tunnel is 1.6 miles long so plenty of exhaust appreciation, 1st & 2nd gear runs only

Normal Traffic law applies outside of the tunnel, and lets not forget its Midnight & there are residents near both entrances

Invited Marques / Clubs & Attendees only! Limited Spaces & Time

Lastly Huge Thankyou To Tamsin & Ron From TT2 for thier support, without which this event wouldnt be possible

Thanks to our sponsered links for putting their hands in their Pockets and getting the pot started

Edit....

OK guys below is the Map of how you will enter the tunnel from Howden Yard and also the T & C's set by the tunnel

Now then the stance on the speed limit, as we all know the tunnel speed limit is 30mph in normal operating times, after many meetings ive managed to have a blind eye turned to this but anyone acting the idiot will by pulled to one side by the police / asked to leave immediately. The way i see it is no one is going to want to go through the tunnel at 7k in second gear for the full run, what has been generally accepted for the run is hard 1st, feather 2nd. If anyone has questions about speed please either PM me or your clubs area rep for guidance.

T&C's are attached in this post and the 1st post in this thread,

Lastly this should be a cracking night, estimating an attendance of 200 cars. Also if this event is successful there is the possibility of doing this annually.
