Three days of multi category car and motorcycle timed sprints will take place at Manston airport at a new event next week.
‘Flying Quarter’ is inspired by a 1920’s concept of achieving the highest speed possible within a quarter mile.
The vehicles will ‘roll run’ to the start line and then pick up speed along the quarter-mile track.
The event also includes a camping village, food and drink stalls, DJ and entertainment.
Organisers say: “The Flying Quarter, with the support of retired members of the Armed Forces, has come together to create an event that combines motor sports with charity. We support several organisations including Blesma, RAF Benevolence Fund as well as other charities close to our hearts such as Marie Curie.
“A percentage of proceeds will be donated in aid of these organisations as a sign of gratitude, and we hope that it will provide additional help wherever it is needed.”
Flying Quarter takes place from June 28-30, 10am to 6pm. There are a range of ticket options available from day spectator to weekend passes and camping add-ons.
