I'm anticipating that the mini showdown is not going to happen this year (nothing on either the BMC or avons websites) I've started thinking of an alternative we could all turn up to for a few beers and a bit of TM competition.

Not sure who would be up for it or where but i was thinking about york raceway. On a purely selfish note, it is a bit quicker for me to travel down to and there is a strong yorkshire contingent.

No dates are posted yet so will have to wait and see what RWYB events are on.

Anyone got any comments or suggestions?

Sounds champion to me if involves beer.

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

Well its all open for discussion.

Location wise, its a trek for me for wherever we go so if we can come up with a better track, so be it

T@z, i'd be delighted if it was only 4 hours!

Certainly have something to take

Not many options looking around. Santapod and avon seem to be the 2 significant venue options i can find

Im less than an hour from santa Pod, but I prefer Avon as the wind doesnt seem to affect times

I seriously doubt it!

North Weald airfield?

I only say this as its 5 mins away from me. The RWYB's turn out some interesting stuff.

If anyone else is local, I'll be aiming to attend all these this year.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

This was good last year, would be nice to bring a car to one though. Bit far for the majority of people on here I would have thought (who all seem to live in Yorkshire...)

And I met the guy that built that twin blower jag/daimler, he works out of the shed next door to the guy who fixed my car.

York is not worth the drive for me as close as I am, never mind the drive from Glasgow

I'd be up for a weekend at Avon

Well avon seems to be a popular choice for a variety of reasons.

I'll keep my eye on the rwyb events at avon when they are announced then and come up with some options for us.
