Silverstone Night Race

SPOONERBORO · 22 Apr 2001, 23:19 (Ref:83823)

Dont know what ya all think but silverstone June 1/2 could well be

a) nice weather - dont hold your breath though
b) super race weekend
c) ideal chance for a major ten tenths meet up
d) if we get our arses into gear possibly a chance to arrange a go-karting event at silverstone if they not already booked anyone interested
sorry for being so damn organised but its not all that far away folks

Minardi fan · 22 Apr 2001, 23:47 (Ref:83833)

Oh no!!!! It clashes with the work party... Ummm... What a decision!!!

OVERSTEER · 23 Apr 2001, 00:53 (Ref:83851)

I'll see if I can find a way of geeting there by train or bus, on second thoughts, will there be a chance that a bus will run from a nearby train station just like there is for the GP (I think!!!)

Have you got some prices for this karting Spooner?

**Craig** · 1 May 2001, 20:08 (Ref:87674)

We looked at karting once before I seem to remember and we gave it a miss cos of the expense...

Lorna · 2 May 2001, 21:19 (Ref:88096)

Ah, but my outgoings have decreased these days

**Craig** · 2 May 2001, 21:24 (Ref:88101)

SPOONERBORO · 5 May 2001, 22:44 (Ref:89443)

Minardi fan · 9 May 2001, 09:23 (Ref:90635)

But since that was published we've had a change to the Sprint race format so adjust accordingly. Depending on what (if any) additional support race we get, my guess would be for the FRenault to be brought forward and the combined sprint starting 7:30-8:00 ish.

WoodyTJ · 9 May 2001, 12:25 (Ref:90668)

Blimey ... that day is going to be busy. I'm sure at Snetterton nothing really started until lunchtime. Gave us a little time to recover from the night before.

Ohh well - plenty of Redbull for us I think

Minardi fan · 9 May 2001, 14:15 (Ref:90688)

Lordy... me thinks the whole day off work is required! HURRAH!!!

redshoes · 9 May 2001, 15:57 (Ref:90713)

Last year's Snett started at noon but went on until 1am. There was no free practice sessions on Sat but I'm sure the Fri night tests went on for an hour.

Lorna · 9 May 2001, 17:16 (Ref:90731)

That is a long day. I am glad I've got the Sunday to recover!

**Craig** · 9 May 2001, 18:58 (Ref:90773)

Sounds good!

And then we have the CSCC boys at Snett the following day... anyone up for that ? Maisie ? Chris ? Sparky ?

SPOONERBORO · 9 May 2001, 19:02 (Ref:90776)

please expand young craig what are cscc boys exactly!!

**Craig** · 9 May 2001, 19:07 (Ref:90778)

Remember the historic touring cars which everyone raves about which used to feature on the BTCC support ? Well, them, basically

Many of the drivers in the series hang out right here on the 10 Tenths forums, so i'm sure one or three will pop up anytime soon...

**bella** · 10 May 2001, 09:36 (Ref:90948)

i'm thinking about coming. so long as it's £20 like last time, and my car is ok (lets hope i don't leave the lights on this time...), i'll probably come.

mikebrown70 · 10 May 2001, 11:16 (Ref:90966)

It is £25 on the gate but if you book in advance it is only £15.

Minardi fan · 11 May 2001, 12:26 (Ref:91209)

Hurrah! The day is booked off work, so I shall be returning the night before so I can go to my first BTCC race... (aaaaw)... HURRAH!!!
