We still have space available for suitable cars that are not part of an existing club/group/team. Performance car Tuners can also apply to compete, either as part of one of the existing Team entries or as individuals, subject to approval and sufficient space.

Spectator ticket prices are kept at the same price yet again, and are available in advance at just £15 from our website, or alternatively can be purchased on the gate on the day from 9am onwards at £20 per adult. Ticket purchases can be made after 1st March via http://shop.totb.co.uk/products.asp
Our phoneline number is also on the website for credit card ordering. Clubs and groups can also obtain further discount on entry tickets if purchased in bulk, email us for details.

We are pleased to announce that The Organisation Ltd will once again be arranging the Trade display areas on our behalf. Contact details for all trade/advertising and sponsorship enquiries listed below.

Other planned improvements to the event include further raised grandstand seating areas and the return of the Top speed spectator viewing area which was very popular, accessed via a site bus. The top speed trap will also now be set at a standing mile distance, to utilise a recognised distance for this part of the competition.

The event format remains largely the same other than a slight tweak to the points scoring system for the Overall Champion. The Overall Redline TOTB 5 Champion Award will still be based on total points scored from all 3 events (1/4m, handling and Top speed) plus any bonus points gained from the handling or drag shootout finals. We are however instigating a bonus point for competing in all 3 events, plus additional bonus points for anyone who scores overall in all 3 events, which is a fantastic achievement.

The drag and handling shootouts will now only attract a single point bonus for the winner, as opposed to the original 3 points given previously.
The team trophy is also certain to be highly contested this year, being awarded to the club with the best points total combined from each team member.

Crash.net will be supplying a results service to both public and pitlane areas where information can be updated on the event scores and leaderboard.

The Closing date for all competitor entries is 2nd July 2006. There will be a further short period for any last minute team changes or for reserves to take up any places that become available. Please note no refunds will be made after 2nd July. No changes will be made to any team sheets after 14th July 2006 when the entry lists become final.

Ten of the Best Shootout

I know its alittle early but who would be up for this.

And who fancy's entering (not me cos i carnt go fast in my si )

This would be a greatday out and its not a million miles away.

watched the program on this, in m&m few weeks ago. would be really intrested in this, could be worth seeing if we can get some sort of discount on bulk buying.

i watched this last month and me and my bro would be up for it,
think the only person whos car would be quick enough it johns scooby, go on john you no you want to

This looks really good, who knows i may have a power toy by then ??

TOTB was great, but its become a vitim of its own sucess and over the last few years its got really hard to get close to the action

May be worth a look again though, Ive not been for 2 years.

I might be up for taking part in it. I've spoken with the event organisers and to get qualified i'd need to slay some Scoobies round Elvington in May and also have a quarter mile time of less than 14s. Don't think that should be too hard

Alternatively i'd need to email them my cars specs to get instant approval so i'd go for the slaying the Scoobie method instead.

No offence Ad, but I recon your gonna need 350bhp in the Skyline to get in to the 14's and a great start as your on RWD not 4WD.

Also, dont underestimate the Scoobs that take part, the top runners are all in the 10's and 11's

The TOTB are all below 12's and most of them are over 500bhp. not easy by any means, Stuy why dont you enter the 180

Unfortunatly there are plenty of 200's running good power that will really put it to shame

Maybe in a few years when ive got the spec up a bit

It's the taking part that counts and not the winning for me. I was going to enter through the company and not as a private individual.

The Skylines got over 350bhp when used with the NOS but I was going to enter the Prelude instead, mainly due to its reliability, no turbo lag and handling.

I'm not sure if I can enter anyway after the argument I had with the organisers last Saturday at Elvington over sound levels.

Cant you just increase the baffel or ad a muffler onto your system to bring it down.

There is ways and means of doing these things.

Ad have you done a 1/4 mile before in the prelude, if so what times did you get. i know the prelude is over 200bhp with the NoS. Personally I think its a great idea to enger as a company to get the publicilty but you have to be carefully you dont fall flat on your face as that will chase business away. Could you not just have some sort of stand and cover the car in apperal like all the evo's and skylines do.

No I don't know what the 1/4 mile in the Prelude is, I know it's below 14s (taken from a GTEC meter so fairly accurate) but don't know exactly.

I've had quite a lot of work done on the Lude since the Peco rolling road day and it's kicking out nearly 320bhp with the NOS. Ok it's no Ten Of The Best winner as i'd really need 4wd and over 800bhp but i've got a couple of mates who have car tuning companies in this area who did this last year. One has a 375bhp Ford Orion and his 1/4 is only slightly less than 14s. My business only comes from Ebay and the website these days anyway so it won't affect trade but may get some business contacts from the event.

If you feel confident then go for it. didnt know you had work done to the lude since then.

Yet another Quality event for the summer :cheers:

So, Who's going ?
