You should move this over to the banter thread. Sorry mate.

Great to hear your onboard for this one. I would like to discuss the BBQ thing when we get a little closer to the day and would be pleased to take you up on the offer. Lets see how the numbers stack up and we can work out what we need to feed the team on the day. Or maybe we can setup a MINI Clubs fund rasier and make a buck on the day selling snag's to the punters?

Lets talk soon,

Coop's.

Catering contractors might have an issue with that but no harm in asking

I agree. I will ask anyway. Last time I was there the food was shocking and all you could get was coffee, meat pies and ice creams. "What Da" Also it took 20min's to get any service.

Thanks for the support.

I have to agree Scotty B, I love my pies and sweets plus coffee too. But this stuff was "RANK" and not cheap. These pies are not like the great Newcastle pies.

Lets all save a few bucks and have a big BBQ cookup, I'm shaw that Trelo's mum could knock up some nice Greek food we can chuck on. It could also end up being a BYO food for the BBQ. Anything than that track cr@p.

I'm now hungry.

Coop's.

hmmm track food..... (the BBQ sounds a very good idea)

with this expression session, is this going to be the normal 20km/h procession type display or is it a open track session and people will need helmets etc?

Hi Darrly,

I think it will be the open track session with helmets etc. Brad will have more information in the next few days when we hear back for the organizers.

Hope you can make it on the day.

oooo i want to go ! Have to check the diary............

robbo mcs · Apr 29th, 2004, 02:56 AM

Hi,

I have something on allready on this day, but I'll try and switch things around. I love Wakefield, even if 6 laps isn't enough to get heat into the tyres

It should be a good social day, with some nice cars to look at

By the way, I did a testing day at Wakefield last Saturday and lowered my PB from 1:14.19 to 1:13.54

so that's the benchmark

The mini is going incredibly well on the track. To get into 13's at wakefield in a street registered FWD car is pretty incredible, and a testament the potential of the car.

Cheers

Robbo

Great news Robbo, hope you can make it. Your right about the six laps it's a bit of a bummer but Brad maybe able to squeeze and extra lap or two out of the organizers. We should know soon and will post the information as soon as it comes in.

Hi,

Yeah, Brads powers of persuasion are pretty good

Maybe we should offer the organisers hot-laps as passengers in our minis. They would have such a smile on their face that they would want to keep us going all day

Cheers

Hey Brad,

I will be going to the track on the 24th June for an Aprilia track day (all welcome) and will do the recky on the same day if required. Do we need pictures for the drive sheet? as this is a pretty eazy run down it would be hard to get lost.
