We were going to be away but are now free on the 27th!:D

I know the SCNM crowd are going and look all booked up but if we get enough interest we can book a club stand as well. We get 12 entry passes free and 6 x 15 min track sessions for only £100 (16 approx each. Further track sessions booked in advance would be reduced to £20 each.

Anyone interested let us know ASAP as we need to confirm with the circuit. First come first served on the 6 for £100 track passes BTW (4 left)!

This is tomrrow and the weather is looking very good!

Myself and a few others who need to be there earlier for track time will be leaving from the BP petron station at J14 off the M5 towards Evesham.

After a foggy start in the morning delayed the on-track action, the sun finally came out to make it a great day. Quite a few MINI's turned out but there was plenty of room for more at this event amongst all the classics both on and off the track...........:cool:

Think a great day was had by all. Times weren't important, we just had a great day despite the fog for the first few hours!!

The only down side for me was our classic mini broke down half way home and ended up on an AA recovery truck due to a broken alternator bracket, but despite that couldn't complain;)

Alex, thanks for the ride, very impressive as always:D:D:D

You're welcome mate. You got lucky, the next session after yours was when I span a few times in a big cloud of smoke :aargh: All good, no damage and didnt slow me down too much ;)

Sorry to hear about the classic breaking down. Perhaps its time to get a tow bar on the MINI to tow it back from these events :tongue:

Highlight of the day for me was pushing a ZCars rear engined monster all around the track for an entire lap befofre he finaly gave in and let me past!

I also managed to spin the car again this year. This time at higher speeds and at least twice. I was a bit busy to count how many times I span it. No damage, but didnt slow me down too much.

Thats Dave. Must have been before my spin, because I had opened out the gap a bit more, then they overtook me while I was facing the wrong way.
