[Racer]

Due to the interest shown in the dubious street racer thread I think it would be a great idea to organise a track day just for MINI's and mini2 members -

I'm prepared to do the hard work of organising it so let the thread know if you are a yes and your preferred venue -

If there's enough interest we'll move forward

 

[zoooooom]

I,m up for it how about Knockhill Scotland?




No thought not.

I'm not really up for racing my MINI on the track, wouldn't mind a few laps though (can't afford the tyres for anymore!)

Goodwood would be nice for me...

 

[AER]

would this be restricted to MINI's or can any car attend?

 

[CrazyPhil]

Why don't we (MINI2.COM) organize a National Day somewhere?
Donnigton Park?
What about making MINI2.COM a registered club like the Cooper Register? Or Paul is this already sorted, sorry for my ignorance on this point only logged on recently

ye that would be great! always wanted to experience life on a track, i'd be definately up for it- its gotta be somewhere near the south (Bedfordshire please) hehehe but then reading monsta's post- yeh i can't afford the tyres oh well i'll just go there to watch

I've got an idea

To save on the time and expense of sorting out a track, how aboutwe all meet outside McDonalds in Harlow at about midnight on Saturday? There'll be lots of nice Novas and Astras there too...

You won’t destroy your tyres if you are sensible, alternatively, if you go to one and like it so much as to do it on a regular basis, then get another set of wheels and tyres purely for track days (doesn’t matter if they’re scuffed/scrubbed). It’s your brakes that can take a hammering, so would be a good idea to get some new pads/shoes if yours are low.
How about the Bedford Autodrome, Jonathen Palmer's track?

How about Melbourne Australia?

Weather's beautiful, and plenty of great tracks.

I just went round Albert Lake track/road (where the F1 GP is in March), and I can't wait to fang my 'S' around there.

Hope no Oz Cops listening in.

Count me in for a track day!!!

Might wait until my tyres are getting close to replacement, then I won't mind pushing it hard (could put the old steelies back on but that just wouldn't look good now would it).

I personnally think that it should be restricted to MINIs only. We need to show the world that the new MINI has a strong following and can organise events and clubs all by itself without the support of non MINIs. oh, i know what i mean.

oh, and it would be handy if it was somewhere close to where I live, so Melbourne (Australia) wouldn't really be convenient for me. Melbourn - Cambridgeshire would be good.

Bedfordshire isn't a bad idea for a location, pretty easy to get to and reasonably far up, except for zoooooom, crashandburn, lightbody et al. Definitely sounds like a top day out though. A Sunday would be good.

 

[Silverstone]

Count me in!!

As I have mothballed my "real" racer to buy the MINI, I would love to get back on a track.

Thanks for offering to organise Racer - you are a real star.

I guess Weekends will be tricky as they are usually booked well ahead and can be pricey. Still my prefence though, due to limited holidays.

I can't wait already

How about the Bedford Autodrome, Jonathen Palmer's track?

I went to the MINI track day there last year (look back in the news section).

Excellent track, nice site..

Any guess on prices Racer?

 

[Racer]

Rushing around today like a blue $%^£"£ fly - will get onto later in day
