Mini racing in the south east.

Robert Morris · 19 Oct 2008, 12:38 (Ref:2315859)

Well after request by others here we are starting a new thread about mini racing in the south east shell we will include track and test days?
if any body wants to transfer the previous please do.

Robert Morris · 19 Oct 2008, 12:46 (Ref:2315863)

For those of you that were at the track day at lydden on sat you would have witnessed big Dave using all of the track to keep his mini under control.
We did think it very amuseing when one the marshalls came and congratulted him on a very brilliant and entertaining driving display.

Showing great car control and skill.
But we all no better.

Robert, do the Minis, I presume you are talking real Minis not the BMWs, have their own series in the SE?

Yes we are proper minis, unfortunatley they dont have there own series yet but when you have a count up there are enough of us to have our own series. I hope that we are able to put on a special mini race at lydden next year at on of the DMN rounds.

Big Dave · 19 Oct 2008, 15:07 (Ref:2315955)

Thanks Rob!!! it may be the slow way round the track but boy was it fun fun fun

(apart from the broken finger). and the drive in Steve's car was just awesome, Me WANT one now

Big Dave · 19 Oct 2008, 15:09 (Ref:2315958)

And also no talk of the German/Brazilian things on hear thanks :-(

Thought BD drove a blinder all day, although I heard him most of the time as I was working on my car in the paddock. Think he should definitely think about competing in Rallycross!

I'm just pleased that my Mini doesn't have a handbrake!

Big Dave · 20 Oct 2008, 09:31 (Ref:2316509)

never used the handbrake once is that not what your left foot is for!!!!

Big Dave · 20 Oct 2008, 09:33 (Ref:2316512)

As far as rally cross/racing goes will be out if i can find some money first :-( (Any sponsorship even willing to paint the mini purple if needs must)

Chris_w · 20 Oct 2008, 11:04 (Ref:2316590)

Be great to see you out there Chris, SEMSEC's a great place to start racing

Rod Birley · 19 Oct 2008, 21:29 (Ref:2316230)

Bob, there is a date pencilled in at Lydden.

Minicross424 · 20 Oct 2008, 06:34 (Ref:2316379)

Robert.
Dont know if Bob or Adrain are booked in, havent seen them much lately, i was just using them as an example.
I thnk there is going to be a fair number of us next year and hopefully some one will buy lee's Mini.

Robert Morris · 20 Oct 2008, 07:46 (Ref:2316414)

I guess is there will be an epic battle in class e next weekend at the dmn as second place is still wide open

That's a lot of car for the money, I'm amazed it hasn't sold yet

Big Dave · 20 Oct 2008, 11:46 (Ref:2316617)

I will be there if you have any probs anyway Chris But im sure you wont

Minicross424 · 20 Oct 2008, 14:12 (Ref:2316726)

No use the one who paints them green or swiftys colours.

Robert Morris · 20 Oct 2008, 14:58 (Ref:2316744)

Alan Rawlings looks like taking the 1400 class. I wonder how much extra competion he got this weekend coming?

Minicross424 · 20 Oct 2008, 15:05 (Ref:2316747)

Im going to finish 3rd in class 1 by the looks of it.

Robert Morris · 20 Oct 2008, 15:23 (Ref:2316754)

Tris i think you have been like Gemma and had your fair share of bad luck, never mind there is next year. Who was 2nd?

Minicross424 · 20 Oct 2008, 16:32 (Ref:2316782)

well going in to the final round its Bisland 1st, Rawlings 2nd.
I think I have won the mini class in the intermarque saloons but to be honest there has'nt been no one in it so its a bit of a hollow win.
Next year will be better for us all.

Robert Morris · 20 Oct 2008, 17:12 (Ref:2316809)

Is Bisland the motor bike engine with 13"wheels ?

Big Dave · 20 Oct 2008, 18:45 (Ref:2316888)

motor bike!!! thought it was A Honda V-tech

I think you are thinking of James Guest in the Clubman Honda BD, that's in class 2. I think James Bisland might run a Midget. Tris, is that who you had some rubbing with last time out?
