Just a heads up... the Winter Series Finale will now take place on Friday, Saturday & Sunday 12, 13 & 14 March. That's to give a few days for the dust to settle after the end of the slightly-delayed WHO Winter Rally-Sprint.

I am looking at dates for further HO proxy drag racing - every other month - through the rest of 2021 and into 2022. Something like this...

• May 2021 - Street Stock + Super Stock + NHRA 4-Gear + NHRA Top Fuel + Micro 2019 match-racing
  
• July 2021 - Street Stock + Super Stock + Nostalgia 4-Gear + Nostalgia T-Jet + Micro 2019 match-racing
  
• September 2021 - UK Autumn nationals = all classes (3 days)
  
• November 2021 - Street Stock + Super Stock + NHRA 4-Gear + NHRA Top Fuel + Micro 2019 match-racing
  
• January 2022 - Street Stock + Super Stock + Nostalgia 4-Gear + Nostalgia T-Jet + Micro 2019 match-racing
  
• March 2022 - UK Spring nationals = all classes (3 days)
  

That could be the basis of an annual UK HO drag racing schedule that is fun and sustainable, whether the pandemic restrictions continue - or not.

Of course, if anyone else in the UK would like to share the hosting, that would make it even better! Any HO track system could be used and any length strip - ideally at least 7 feet timed, preferably nearer 10 feet (scale 1/8 mile) or even 20 feet (scale 1/4 mile). I can provide the DOS-based Drag Basic timing system and sensors (you will need a PC running Windows 98 or older for accurate timing). There is also the modern Drag RC software that Alan and I were looking at, which requires a DIY Arduino set-up linked to a PC running Windows 8 or 10.

Those six dates shared by two or three venues would be something special
