Snetterton 8/9 Noverber

I've given the team a target of getting the car ready for this one If they manage to give me good progress reports in the next couple of weeks, I'm in.

That's good news Sean

I'm looking to enter once this weekends racing is finished.

Not good now I'm afraid.  It seems the current custodian of the car has no plans to take it to Oulton this weekend, which means not only am I the holder of £250 worth of spectator tickets, I can't get the engine out of it to transfer into the Blue car.  This also pushes my next available race to Mar 2016.  I won't say anymore as I will appear very unprofessional.

My entry is now in for this race, and has been accepted

In true High Speed Low Cost tradition, I got it in before ED's entry so I can use number 12, which was our team number at the Heritage relay

You must be insane Mr Fletcher I swear there were polar bears walking round Snett on Saturday night it was that cold

That was just the reflection of your naked body reflecting tin the shiny paint of the pie-van when you went for a pee in the middle of the night

Blimey Billy that sounds like some kind of fantasy you should seek help

What? shiny paint on the pie-van

And especially this

Lol there is no comeback to that

So far we have myself and Paul Waterhouse (Peugeot not Mini) entered in this event.

Ed might enter depending on how much money he can find in the back of his settee

Any more?

Now looking down the back of my settee

Try under your car seats as well

Sean Graham might be entering as well

Pete Richards in his Clan Crusader is also looking at entering this event

I've requested the car be delivered to Snett for me.  Let's see if I get better service than I did for Oulton.

Neil Wade has just joined the forum and is considering racing at this event in his classic Mini road/race car

Hi Ed, John

Have you found enough money under the cushions for an entry yet

Sorry don't think I will be able to do this one, very busy at work, on the plus side I have now got my budget for st Goueno sorted ( found a Picasso in the cellar)

Ed

Good news. Money found under the cat litter tray.

Bad News. Operations Manager has sentenced me to rescue a failing business area.

Having spent 2 years being ignored as some sort of ex Army phsyco' that should not be let loose on sensitive little idle failures.
I am now the first choice go get em problem solver.

Ego sorted.

But no bloody racing

Hi All

I have entered Snetterton in the good old Classic Mini and received conformation that I am racing.

I am looking forward to seeing you all.

Neil

Good to Hear from you again mate . You still constantly going sideways with the Rally X mini ?

Ian (i used to have Billys mk2 Hornet)

Hi Ian

No have not been out RallyCrossing for 3 years since I ran in the British Championship.
I did a few rounds of circuit racing with the RAFMSA in the Saab powered BMW MINI.

I decided to restor the old Rallycross classic Mini and have been sprinting it at Blyton in the MiniCross Drivers Association Sprint championship, and this year I won the Mini class.

Not sure what I am going to do next year, but am really glad Billy contacted me regards the new forum/club Lots of opportunity's now.

Neil

If Snetterton was anything to by mate it should be Good. A good craic was had by all.Looking forward to next year already.

Ian

Good to have you on board Neil

Were looking at having the first event of next season at Blyton in April with the Mini-cross Assoc. I believe they do a 2.7 mile course, which should be really good.

As you have some experience of the course, what do you think of it?

Hi Billy

Blyton does have a 2.7 mile sprint track which has a bit of everything with high speed sweeping corners, long straights and a technical interconnecting section linking the 2 laps together this allows plenty of places where time can be won and lost.

Blyton park has a few facility's including a club house that serves food, toilets and showers.
Camping is available but normally at a extra cost.

The last 2 years the Mini-Cross Divers Association have been running their Sprint championship at Blyton, it has been growing in popularity due to the friendly atmosphere and extra timed runs when possible.

Sorry, Gents.

I've been let down again with respect to the car. I won't be joining you for this one.

Sorry to hear that Sean

The paddock plan timetable and finals have been issued for a while now, and the entry list has just been released in the last half hour. They can all be found at:

http://www.msvracing.com/cars/calendar.aspx

Theres 31 cars on the grid for the allcomers race with a great mix of cars. We have Neil Wade, Paul Waterhouse and myself entered.

The weather is not looking too good for Saturday at the moment, so fingers crossed for an improvement as I want to get the Mk2 below 2:20.0

Nick Starkey in the Caterham is always quick

Good luck with it mate hope it all goes well

Hope you have all remembered your wellies and thermals this weekend Snett will be COLD

Good luck to everyone, after spending a day in A&E after one of my subcontractors decided to try to trim his finger nails with a hedge cutter!, so make sure you keep safe out there (and keep warm!)

Oh and have fun

You all missed a real belter of an event - full report to follow.
