See what a Brit abroad, Tony Thacker, thinks of Race the waves

"Another beach event popped up in 2018 at Bridlington on the northeast coast of England. ‘Race The Waves,’ presented by Paul Garbutt of Backfire Promotions and members of the ‘Oily Tykes’ was a very low-key, almost invite-only event that featured just four hours of side-by-side drag racing over 1/8-mile. Race The Waves has now grown to embrace The Bridlington Weekend of Motoring and a Steampunk Festival and is described as a ‘Retro Theatre of Auto-motion.’ The best part of the event is the rules as their web site says: ‘RULES: there are no rules.’
