They don't die, they just get faster!

It's always been a Saturday. Am I missing something?

Shall I see about organising a stand?

im going ! booked my track time ! cant wait

Outside the box

I thought it was Sunday last year as it clashed with another show. Maybe they were both on a Saturday, my bad!

Does this mean you're going to dust your car off Nic?

Hopefully. If I can remember how the ornament works

Not that i was gutted enough by missing it...
BUT now im missing nics ornament making an appearance!!! DAM... i'll just have to sulk whilst in miami

I will be on the mini world stand, I need to sort some track time

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Hmm it looks like Miniworld might not have a stand as they are nolonger sponsors.

I have ordered entrance and track time anyone thinking of setting up a stand?

Mini World and Mini Magazine now have to have combined stands under the Kelsey banner, so car selection is a bit random at best.

I've not been told if we're having a stand yet or not.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

I don't mind sitting on a stand, I'll be parked up all day. Combe will probably be the big reveal for my paint being finished the way it's going haha. Does it matter if we've already bought tickets?

I have had the form on my desk for the past week or so to send off.
Shall I organise it?

Sure if you want!

Was there a Turbo Minis stand in the end?
It was supposed to be at K2 according to the "official traders and clubs" pdf, but K2 was definitely not Turbo Minis.

Anyhow, its the first time I'd been to castle coombe, and the very first time on the track.
Awesome... Though I did miss the second Chicane on my first lap, and nearly did the same on my second...

I had a fantastic time bombing round in our orange angry eyed toy running an engine in ....... lol had 1 little off and a spin on the esses but a fantastic weekend even got some moonlit laps in on the fri night (on a fold up bike )

Really enjoyed it agin this year however I signed on to use the van on the track but it failed the sound test at 108db, which is annoying as I was really looking forward to taking it around.

There was a tm stand, it got moved to k4.
However there was only going to be 2 of us on there, the guy on the gate wouldn't let me up there to drop off the car and some tools so we didn't bother with it.

There were some very quick cars there this year.

there was some good looking stuff knocking around the camping area !!!!

they moved the goalposts with sound 4.5k revs to achieve 100DB ours came in at 87db its a vw polo or lupo ctr box and a golf 1.8 backbox mated together to make quite a neat system.
some very fast motors again sadly i was running ours in (N/A)

Outside the box

I saw Colin and we were next to fast Carl. Why in was good for a chat. The car went well this year, even tho the water injection was t working! Good job Colin had set the Ecu to take timing out when the mat increased for things would have got hot under the hood!
It was a great day, we sprung an oil leak on the way home from the oil transfer pipe. luckily we caught it at the services.

I'm with nic on the fast cars, even the tax exempt class was quick....

Good turnout, the place was probably the busiest i've seen it, must have been the good weather. The track session didn't go to plan, with a red flag followed by a high speed excursion off at old paddock bend.

I saw your detour over the grass, what the devil happened?

Over cooked it! No damage done though.

Weather was awesome. I had great fun on track & a good battle with a Busa mini. I thought the newly tarmac`d avon rise was really quick, I was braking way too early for it every time
