MK1 Performance Track Day (Confirmed date 4th May 2014)

[rich@minispares.com]

Last time I saw your Status it looked like it'd taken a clobbering off Sgt Bash already !

that's all fixed, it just needs paint, engine, frames and trim now...........


I might put my 1430 8 port into it, at least then I will be able to drive quickly away from the shame!

I will be there with VFF and there may be a certain Surf Blue number in tow too!!

[Pete]

I'm so insistent that you attend Jonny I may have to bribe the HRCR to make sure we don't get a clash of dates !!

iirc there is a bit of a rally course as well.

[Pete]

Funny you say that, I've asked whether the rally course would be available but I strongly suspect that the track forms part of it.

[GraemeC]

That'll just make it more interesting!

[Jeroen Booij]

Fibreglass alert - thanks to Pete who invites me to form some sort of a Maximum Mini display.
Now let's see if we can get some more obscurities to make it over..!

That's great news Jeroen.

I'm not sure they'll let you on in that shower cubicle though ! Any chance of a few Unipowers ?

depending on the facilities, you might be glad of the arrival of a wheeled mobile shower cubicle!!

[Jeroen Booij]

That's great news Jeroen.

You'd be amazed to find that the shower cubicle actually is a Unipower, Pete!
But anyway: I'll do my utmost best to get some Unipower GT owners on the move, too!

[Pete]

Oops, schoolboy error !

Incidentally we've also been offered the possibility of timed runs at the end of the day. Personally I also think we should run the day in group sessions, otherwise you end up with a huge queue if it's open pit and as popular as I suspect it's gonna be.

Very nice! Looks like a twisty little circuit, perfect for Minis & the like.

[Jeroen Booij]

Initial respons is overwhelming!

I've had replies from people who intend to come over with their cars to form a nice display of Mini derivatives. So far they are a Mini Jem, Mini Marcos, Stimson Mini Bug, Stimson Safari 6, Broadspeed GT, Biota Mk2, Midas Bronze, Ogle SX1000 and Cox GTM.

And then I have not even yet send messages to any of the persons I was thinking of...

[mk1]

That is terrific news Jeoren!

That's what I think!
Meanwhile, an Elswick Envoy can be added to the list. Speaking about oddities...

[Tim]

It would be good to get the Mini media involved. Those of us living 10,000 miles away will be sitting at home feeling left out, so it would be great to see some professional coverage in the Mini Magazines. I'm thinking about a full article rather than just a couple of paragraphs in the club news page.

[Pete]

Mini Mag are going to cover it but you'll probably find out more about the event on here ! I'm sure there'll be a few 'in car' vids aswell.
