Harewood Spring National 10th April 2022

Post by mk1 »

Adam & I are booked into the above event, it will be our first proper event since Adams crash in 2019 & our first drive in the blue Cooper S that my mate Wil drove so well last season.

Would be good to see a few faces there, even if we will both be horribly slow :)

Great news you both are in the driving seat - it is a super built mini went and well at YMF - I put in an entry within minutes of the event opening and will be joining you, Bod says he won't be out until mid year but sure there will be some others in our Class, I have been trying to get my dad `Timo' to come as well . . . he's thinking about it

Not bad, we were starting to get used to the car by close of play.

Adam's best was 71 something, mine a bit slower.

Still lots to come from it though.

It certainly looks to be pulling well up that last section of the hill!!
Love the blue cable ties and blue padding, its all about the attention to detail.

Hi Goff,

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are still doing OK & that you get over it very soon.

Couple of pics from the weekend.

Good to meet you Mark, sorry we never properly introduced.

After the efforts of Keith and I walking round the paddock, I did manage to find some fuel hose and 2 jubilee clips allowing me to do another run. Thank you for your efforts!

How come you ended up moving classes?

Hiya,

Glad you managed to get sorted.

We were moved because someone objected to the Supercharger. Usually that class is very easy going, that's why we run in it, but that weekend it was being run under classic car club rules & I hadn't bothered checking. We weren't fussed as we were only getting a bit of practice in for YMF.

Will be good to have a proper chat next time.

I sponsor the pre 1972 Class at the Classic & Vintage, there is usually an excellent turn out of Minis then. Hope to see you there.
