You're lucky, there's a couple of places near you.

try googling straightliners. they run bracket racing competitions throughout the year. they're good fun and you'll meet plenty of helpful and friendly people there.

Hi

Not massively populare but a fair number of hardcore enthusiasts.

As well as Straightliners you could also try the NSA

All the best

What has M1ke sold you?

If you are up near M1ke then you are pretty close to Elvington, and not that far from East Kirkby (Straightliners were there this weekend).

All the best
