Entries
Will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. No refunds will be given once an entry has been accepted and there can be no refund if the event or racing has to be cancelled due to conditions outside the control of Gable Events.

Charity sponsorship - how can you help?
In addition to monies donated to CRASH through the entry fees, you can help CRASH further and raise additional sponsorship as a team. You can do this either by using the official sponsorship form provided, or you can create your own fundraising page online via www.justgiving.com/crash/raisemoney.

The crew that raises the most additional sponsorship for CRASH will win not only the CRASH trophy, but a sumptuous Chinese meal for the entire crew. In Manchester this will be courtesy of the Yang Sing restaurant (www.yang-sing.com) and in London and Cardiff, the meal is kindly being sponsored by Encon Insulation Ltd.

Please note: All forms with evidence of sponsorship money raised must be handed to the CRASH representatives BEFORE the crew races.
