Competitors will work their way through a knockout-style competition with only the fastest 10 cars making it to the final, where they will battle to take home the winner’s trophy. An old piano, the Flintmobile, The Only Fools and Horses car and a giant pink chicken to mention just a few gathered at the LNER Stadium as the final preparations took place for the event.
Danny Scoffin, Krazy Races head of brand and marketing, said: “We have had an incredible day at Lincoln City FC. As well as being home of Lincoln City FC the venue is also home to our headline charity Lincoln City Foundation who supported our Krazy team on the day.
