Got one spare ticket

Ring me and I can send if you need

[trevorhp]

Thank you Tim
You have pm
Dead phone following upgrade only Ipad on wifi

[Pete]

Hi Trev.look forward to seeing you at Oulton. Speccy wise I would be tempted to use either the main entrance to park on the infield or Eastgate entrance which will bring you to the outside of the start finish straight where you can access the infield via the bridge. We'll be overlooking Cascades near the Foggerty Centre. We should all meet up at Tim's at lunch maybe?

[trevorhp]

Thanks for the info'
Will see you there then
Looking forward to seeing you all
Trevor

[Pete]

Just had an email from MSV (nothing like a bit of forward planning!!!) and general public cannot access the circuit via the main entrance! You will need to use Eastgate or Knickerbrook. All display cars use main entrance us normal BUT I have no idea where we'll be as it will be a first come 'first served' arrangement - ie a free for all (MSV strikes again) I'll take an MCR sail flag so just look out for us somewhere near Cascades ?!!

[trevorhp]

Ok Pete
Thanks for the heads up

[Mini7org]

Nothings changed then Pete, turn up and guess, at least they look after the cars that race a it better. See you on Monday unless my car bites me over the weekend.

[surfblue63]

Starter motor jammed on my GT.

I have a spare so hopefully I won't electrocute myself tomorrow.

Twas like that last year too....although they do seem to be making more of an event this year so fingers crossed

[Pete]

Been in hospital all morning so will struggle to get there today. Sorry folks.

Will try and get there later though.

[Brynmor]

Sorry to hear that Pete, hope all is now OK...thank you for organising...bit of a wet one, but great to see a Mini win the first race. Couldn't stay after 2pm sadly as needed to be home...but looked a good afternoon in the offing.

To the chap in the steel traveller, it was me in the Orange GT ...sorry I didn't catch your name

[Pete]

[trevorhp]

Sorry to hear that Pete we missed you Trevor

I've put a few pics up on flickr that I took on my iphone from Monday, just from the paddock, only a few, Well done to Jon Milicevic (bloody nice chap !), Holding the Cortinas off in the first race, good to see Tim (even though his weekend didn't quite go to plan with a shortage of quality rubber) and also put a few more faces to names that we met on the day !, Good turn out of Minis, just a shame the rest of the races on Monday are pretty much Single Seaters. Stood with Stu (surf) for a bit so im sure his cracking pics will be coming thru soon !

Nice stuff here

[Pete]

Yes sorry I didn't make it, life's pretty unpredictable for me at the best of times at the moment. Thanks to all those that did make the effort, hope you had a decent day's sport. (and yes I agree about too many single seaters on Monday Steve!). Great win by Milicevic and looks like Andy and Tim had a good battle in the 2nd race!

Really good day despite the rain and cold, thanks Pete. Sorry you didn't make it.
