Actually on that note, if anyone attending wants a passenger ride on track (driver permitting !!) all they have to do is go on the booking link and buy a passenger pass. They'll still need a skid lid though (also available)
.
Really looking forward to seeing the British Vita race car again Trevor, didn't really get a chance to finish "dissecting" it . Some really interesting features on this car though folks, the real McCoy.
Cheers
Pete

Pete,
The camping, is ok to bring a caravan, and would we be allowed to stay on the Sunday night if required ?

I'll ask re Sunday night. I'm sure a caravan would be fine, only the same size as most camper vans anyway, don't be bringing a 'Willerby' on a low loader though !

Re: MK1 Performance Track Day (Confirmed date 4th May 2014)
The booking page hasn't updated over the weekend but I expect us to be about a third full when it does so if anyone's not sure whether to book so early or isn't sure which car they want to use all I'd advise is to get on with it or risk missing out ! You can always change a car later on or just enter Mini.
Trev , re the single seater, I'll email you today.
There's a good chance we can have a modest trade area on the day but will be from amongst our group pretty much. Quite a few saying the event's too far away , which is a shame but understandable. Now they know what it's like to live oop North !

One thing I have noticed is that a number entrants do not seem to appear on the entry list that I think have booked already, if you're one of them please let me know and please check that your transaction did complete succesfully. The 'attendee' list is at the top of the booking page and is updated daily.

Anyone coming along for the day NOT requiring track time can turn up on the day no problem and all are very welcome. Anyone wanting to take their car out on track will definately need to book in advance to ensure a place.

Well you could always move to Lincolnshire ? I mean the country's going down the crapper, the food's pretty basic and the weather's not so great but no lack of Mini shows !
