Alternative to mini showdown at avon in 2013
Turbo Mini Forums

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.

i dont mind york but would prefer avon due to the track and the return road being in decent condition

Avon 2010 class c 3rd
Avon 2011 class c 2nd 13.8 @ 98mph

holy shit 4 hours drive in a normal car for me. why the uk have to be so bloody long :)

Im good but York raceway is a bag of shot with a shed at one end

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.


Fibreglass Parts? - http://www.tdkracing.co.uk/
Split Rims? - http://www.force-racing.co.uk/

Lol.

I'm up for it, but not sure I want to take my shiny new mini through the pot holed mess that is York.

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!

Are you goimg to have your car ready for this Rab?

Yes, subject to dates. Assuming a summer trip, yes.

Certainly have something to take

Im up for it if we go to Avon

I seriously doubt it!

I'd be up for Avon! I hear York isn't worth the drive.

Im up for it but not in mini. i go york quite alot and would echo whats been said about road conditions and stuff
It does get quite busy aswell

Yes i moved to the darkside

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!

I think we should just crash a RWYB event at avon like the few of us did last year :)

I would be more up for a weekend ate Avon.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

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

I will go anywhere as long as beer is involved and I can wear my flat hat!

What that's crazy, you go commando hahaha! How heavy is your helmet ?

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.

Must admit york is very close but is a shithole so would rather have the drive etc

I'll go to any but would like to try and keep the Avon thing going

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

id be there dependant on dates and work

Done now needs redoing lol
