Dave B will probably have info, from what I can gather not much is happening at all.

Pretty much as Rebel says,,,theres stuff going on in the background that Pennine Drag Racing Club (PDRC}are not involved in.
Pennine Promotions/York raceway is the company doing the negotiations with the land owner and TMD.
Unfortunatly,this as been a very slow,so I doubt any racing for 2018.
Ive put my money in the Pot,as have many others to Save York,and also I support Rockingham,because the last thing Racers & spectators need is Santa Pod having the Monopoly,Prices have already gone up.
A Racer as already been barred from the Pod because of his involvement with Rockingham,you work it out?
