Prescott Mini Festival 22nd May 2021

[GeorgeA]

Big Thanks to Pete for taking his time to set this up. Best wishes to you and your family.

My comments are not directed in anyway towards Pete.
He has done a brilliant job.

It's Prescott I have a problem with. They are doing all the on the day organising and their shit show 4 runs Max specially when giving away 3hrs And the same number runs for a fraction of the cost to pre-booked show and shine cars specially when they are not allowing spectators.

The class changes don't bother me.
They started out with standard MotorUK classes (as Pete mentions)
They have subsequently thrown them out the window and made their own and looking at Pete's comment without even mentioning to him.

I might be wrong might be me I guess I'm just used to events that care about the competitors and trying to give them as many runs as possible like Harewood. Not ones riding along on their name only bothering to give people the minimum despite lots of time left. Got to speak into some competitors this is standard practice for Prescott

The weather isn't looking too great. make sure you bring a brolly!

[GeorgeA]

Good bit of Detective work there Julian.

Very odd indeed!

Explains a lot really minimum effort from Prescott. Why let spectators in. When they can charge people to do show and shine runs to get in the door...

I stand by my previous comment about the organisers. This just backs it up.

It’s about time we started looking forward to this! Cheer up George, it’ll be great to see people and thrash the car again, I can’t wait!! Anyone else camping on Friday?

[mk1]

I totally agree with Luke!

The fact that all these cars & people have a chance to meet up together & have some fun should be CELEBRATED!

Look out for my silver Transit in the car park on Friday night, I'm sure I'll have some spare beers!

See you there.

[6604KF]

Thanks Mark! Really looking forward to it!
I even did some prep today and emptied the door bins!!

[cookie1071]

Haha is that a route envelope from the 2019 Borders Luke?

[mk1coopers]

I did some prep too, I moved the car from the back of the garage to the front

[6604KF]

There’s probably one in there somewhere Niall! Not the last rally though, We’ve done a few local 12cars since.

[Pete]

Thanks for all the comments, I doubt I’ll be there, in fact I’m sure I won’t but the weather is now forecast dry so hope you all enjoy it. YouTube it is for me. I’ve sent them some commentary notes. Might have sneaked a few jokes in. . Family comes first and there’ll always be another day.

Thanks for all your efforts Pete. The competition list is enormous and I've just received the "touring list" which is also BIG. Sorry you won't be there as it looks like it will be a great day. Well done.

[Old English White]

I would have loved to be there even just to spectate. Can't happen this year but maybe this will become an annual event with luck? Well done with what you have achieved Pete.
Hope everybody has a great day at the wonderful venue of Prescott

[Richspec]

I can imagine if it was to become a welcome addition to the calendar then it may move to a more accommodating venue?

[mk1]

Lets just see what transpires. I for one am looking forward to a good weekend seeing mates & driving my car a bit too.

Fingers crossed the weather holds up.

[mk1]

Just a quick heads up folks. Adam and I will.not be attending at Prescott this weekend as i have just had an email a few minutes before setting to tell me my car isn't eligible.

Hope that those attending have a good time. M.

Exqueeze me

You're.not.joking.

are you?

[mk1]

No, I'm not joking.

It would have been nice to know before we were actually loading the van up before setting off. But TBH, I can't be bothered getting pissed off about it. As far as I am concerned, I have avoided a 5 hour drive in the rain.

Will be interesting to see how long my refund takes to come through.

Onwards & upwards.

[Richspec]

Wow, just wow, you're keeping calmer than i would have.

Unbelievable.

Words fail me.

[mk1coopers]

WTH , how is it not eligible !!
