Wales to host Straightliners speed attempts

Straightliners will host its May speed event in 2016 but this year it will stretch to a week with two days in South Wales.

There will be speed events at Elvington, North Yorkshire and Pendine. At these events participants and spectators will see some of the most powerful motorbikes and cars in the UK in action.

They may even be some weird and wonderful four wheel vehicles including mono wheels and two and four wheel jet vehicles as they all attempt to break British, European and world speed records.

Straighteners will run two courses this year. A long course for the record contenders and a short course for the rider who just want to come for the experience, in fact it will be just like Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA without the very high cost of getting there.

While Straightliners make great efforts to have it’s events open to all, this event is regulated by the Auto-Cycle Union (ACU). To compete for a national record participants must hold an ACU licence, pass official scrutineering and be a Straighteners Events member.

For those not going for records they do not need an ACU licence but they just need to sign up for this event as it is open to all bikes, cars, mono-wheels and three wheelers.
