MINIs!
Great to see the Mini Se7ens and Miglias in with the F3 and GT classes at Knockhill and several times this year. Hopefully getting the support they deserve! However, grids looked down a bit at Knockhill, 14 finishers from 16 starters in the Migs, and 17 from 21 for the se7ens - are the grids generally down this season, or is it because of the long trip up North for some.

Sorry to go off the point, but why is it most southeners wont travel North! Us Northerners tarvel thousands of miles a year coming South and never hear us complaining, Grids were down in Monoposto at Croft this weekend just because people had to tarvel over 100miles, oh no shock horrer, we do it every other week.
Well its their loss really, we have the best, most challenging circuits in Croft and Knockhill anyway. |

Cadwell isn't 'northern'.. it's in the middle of 'nowhere'.
Them in Louth - strange folk.. |

Minis
Still off the original subject...but although Cadwell is in the middle of nowhere, its still a great circuit to find and enjoy! And Louth...market town in a 60s time warp but wondeful supporting cast.

Going back to the original subject, some of the mini racers run on tiny budgets and don't do all the rounds. Faced with the choice of Knockhill or Spa what would you choose? I think you will find the grids will be larger at other circuits. Oh and I agree Cadwell is a fantastic circuit, especally in a mini.

cheers roscoe, saw your site and thought you might be in the GT class, best of luck and have a great weekend, it must be worth all the years of effort to get there for such an occasion.

Although not racing Minis but Formula Saloons we love Croft and would travel to Knockhill, (much more welcoming than Rockingham)and we are based in Essex.
We usually test on the Friday, qualify on Saturday and race on Sunday, and thanks to the great Northern hospitality have hangovers Sat and Sun. Can't wait until 27th / 28th July for our 'Northern' round at Croft |

Very friendly to beginners, and very addictive. That's what I race at the moment, and I'm from oop Norf - it hasn't proved to be too much of a handicap yet Contact me by PM if you want more info. Alternatively, come to Oulton on the 14th of this month to see us in action! |

I've been watching Mini's race all my life and wish I had a quid for each excellent fantastic race that they put on, including the great Se7en and Miglia contests at Snett last Sunday. I remember seeing Pete Baldwin in an orange Mini at Snett in 1968 and he still races his orange Miglia version now!
