Miles in advance... TM RR and ??? weekender 2010
Turbo Mini Forums

Perhaps, RR on friday, find somewhere to stay friday night, head over to pod on saturday morning, get parked and set up, then go karting/paintballing/lazermaze type place saturday afternoon and back to pod for antics saturday night and sunday as normal.

^ Good call

Sounds expensive but fun.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i wonder if the pod is open for anything on the friday and if they'll let us in then...

also we're assuming that mitp will be at the pod next year, does anyone know for sure?

Not too bad, £20 for pod, maybe less if you book in advance, £35 for the RR then maybe £30 for the karting? Could have teams and do an endurance type thing for a couple of hours?

I'm pretty sure that for MITP they only allow entry from midday on the Saturday, otherwise you have to pay extra for the whole of Saturday as well - thats how I understood it anyway.

Yup correct you have to arrive after 2pm

I'll be there this time!

I'll make sure I bring a trailer, dust pan and brush.

Not too sure about the Paintball. Been there done that and suffered with brusing for about 2 years I dont think my bones could take it anymore

im up for next year hopefully in the turbo mini too, as i never made it this year i cant comment on how to make it better trying to coinside it with a show is a good idea i think but with mitp being as big as it is camping at the pod might get a little cramped

last 2 years i never cued to get into mitp either i was there for about 9:30am ish last year and got straight in

Yes i moved to the darkside

MITP is at the pod next year, its in the pod's calendar for 2010. 15th August

I could possibly speak to the organisers and see if I could get an area reserved for you all to camp in. They'll probably tell me to fuck off, but it's worth a shot...

we need more birds next year

Team Racing

Yeah id definatley be up for this....

And what neil said earlier, i wouldnt mind cracking on putting tents up, and the catch up with everyone later.

Or if its entery after 2pm, i'll leave earlier and try and get set up for when everyone else arrives.

Im in again.

Some track time would get my vote.

how about a RR to see how everyone has progressed power wise, get it on the scales again, then somewhere that could cater for both track and quarter mile times an old air base / field etc.

Just thinking out loud....

I know its a fair bit further south, but what about combe for the track, as there's slark only down the road.

Castle combe always has trackdays etc, also there's a karting place a few miles from combe aswell.

Just a thought.

I will be up for this again. At the same place to give comparable figures! With some fun afterwards track or 1/4 either would be good!

Also just had a look on Combes website, and they will hire the track out to clubs... so it may even be possible to do a TM only day, so lots of track time.

Although, i know alot of you are keen to use Northhampton motorsport again, understandable as the feedbacks been great.

Iain, Guys.

I'm well up again for an event like the one we've just had. It was an incredible weekend, made even more better by the atmosphere and how well everyone got on and mucked in.

I'd be well up for some more strip action but I dont think the 4.5 x 10 S rims on the van can go around corners very well so I'd probably not take her for a spin.

Agree with Mark; if there was a venue like an old airstrip like Colerne (just down from Combe) or Wroughton Science Museum (near Swindon) then both track and quarters could be catered for.

That said, I really like the idea of combining a RR day with a Mini only event at Pod (MITP), especially if we can get some of our European TM members to come over like Jani.

I'm pretty patient and can cope with queues. I'd be quite prepared to set up tents with Oli and a few others but if Jeff can request a fenced off area that would be the dogs and would just save so much agro.

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

The ques for the strip at MITP are nothing compared to last weekend, this year i must have done about 15 runs or more on the sunday.

I love the idea of hiring a circuit and having a TM event. However, I know Iain found it hard enough to get just 10 people to commit to this event, it is asking a lot to book a circuit and cover your costs. Having some input into organising a sprint event for the HSA I know it is alot of effort and we were looking at about £1k loss at one point, before a load of late entries made it break even.

I don't want to put a downer on some of the ideas being raised her, but leave the big clubs to run big events. Sure Curborough, Bruntingthorpe with a few people, great.

I think the original concept worked really well, tying in with MITP would be the icing and require very little extra effort.
