BTCC - Thruxton - 6/7 May

Lorna · 18 Apr 2001, 11:58 (Ref:81909)

Who's going to qualifying? Who's camping over? Who's going to race day?

OVERSTEER · 18 Apr 2001, 13:58 (Ref:81955)

Unfortunatly I didn't get to Brands for the BTCC but i'll see what I can come up with for Thruxton race day.

OVERSTEER · 18 Apr 2001, 14:16 (Ref:81965)

If anyone who is going is going to pass Bristol, if they would be kind enough to drop in and I could hitch a lift with them that would be great, and for your trouble I would sort you out with some petrol money and if you need borrow a tent to camp over I could also do that!

Lorna · 18 Apr 2001, 19:10 (Ref:82060)

Sorry mate. It's a bit out of my way.

I'll be going along for the whole weekend.

Les · 18 Apr 2001, 19:16 (Ref:82066)

We will be there both days.
We have mate with us on race day and will be in the grandstand - ohh what a view you get from there!

Now please please can we get together to continue natter from Brands.

SPOONERBORO · 19 Apr 2001, 00:01 (Ref:82152)

if anyone fancies joining me after the btcc qualifying day i will give you a guided tour of the salisbury pub and club life if you like or can hack the pace!! - did you know salisbury has the most pubs in the smallest confined space in the country!!

I may well camp believe it or not if enough of you are up for it and the weather is good, will be good to meet up with ya all again!!

I've seen the light I'm afraid, so I'll be watching Chris Y at Castle Combe instead

Dan Friel · 19 Apr 2001, 17:26 (Ref:82395)

About time too, afraid there's not much contest is there?? Minis at Combe... unmissable.

What's on the Sunday, is it worth bothering with? A couple of races I presume?

Dan Friel · 19 Apr 2001, 17:30 (Ref:82398)

Spoonerboro.. But would have been down with the pub crawl round Salisbury, if not a visit to the Chapel or that dive down Endless Street..

Trust you'll only be visiting Gibbs Mew pubs and spend the entire evening drinking Bishops Tipple?? Hangover sir?

Lorna · 19 Apr 2001, 22:45 (Ref:82503)

Having lots of pubs in one small space is lethal!

A pub crawl offer is never usually turned away.

**Craig** · 21 Apr 2001, 23:34 (Ref:83298)

I'll be there

And i'll be camping over too

Thanks for the offer Mr Spoon, but I think i'll give Salisbury on an evening a miss thanks... seem to recall having to run rather fast from a gang of squaddies last time we did it...! Think i'll stick in the nice sedate confines of the circuit and get p1shed there

SPOONERBORO · 22 Apr 2001, 12:24 (Ref:83523)

its a shame actually i dont have my own place actually cause you could all of kipped round my and then you would of had to of gone down the town - and then could of given you the opportunity to beat my 12mins record to thruxton from salisbury!!

Lorna · 22 Apr 2001, 19:32 (Ref:83686)

So basically, if we get lashed up in Salisbury - how much of a walk is it back to the camp site? Or do we have to find some poor mug to drive us?

**Craig** · 22 Apr 2001, 19:36 (Ref:83689)

It's a *long* way, Lorn...

Minardi fan · 22 Apr 2001, 21:37 (Ref:83772)

If someone is going from darn sarf I would love to go to Thruxton or Oulton Park.

I am DEFINITELY going to Snetterton for the night race though, and I'm sure I can fit Donington etc... in too over the summer. HURRAH!

OVERSTEER · 23 Apr 2001, 00:47 (Ref:83847)

I'm going to the
1)Silverstone F1 test on june 12,13 or 14th
2)Castle Combe powertour
3)Snetterton night race
4)Rockingham 500 Champ Car race
5)Brands Hatch BTCC
6)And possibly Network Q rally

And just see if I can fit anything else in.

No way is a long way when you are drunk and trying to get home. I learnt that during my time in Milton Keynes because the taxis are non-existent!

ozywoodwards · 23 Apr 2001, 18:02 (Ref:84075)

If you mean walking from Salisbury to Thruxton campsite yo are talking 15-20 miles. However, there is the alternative of going out in Andover, much worse than Salisbury but still a few good pubs here and there, and only a 4-5 mile walk to Thruxton.

WoodyTJ · 25 Apr 2001, 19:34 (Ref:84930)

What's the point in going now there is no Matty

Still sobbing ........!

**Craig** · 25 Apr 2001, 20:04 (Ref:84952)

I'll still be there Trace...

Invader · 25 Apr 2001, 22:09 (Ref:85050)

That'll keep her away Craig

I'm on my annual (except for the last 2 years) Jolly Boys Outing to Weymouth that Weekend....this involves driving to Weymouth, getting drunk several times (suggesting there should be a sober bit)until Sunday and then a stop-over at Thruxton on Monday on the way back to see some more of me chums and watching MULLER!!!!! sideways thru Church.
P.S. I'm sure I already replied to this topic???!!!

Invader · 25 Apr 2001, 22:12 (Ref:85052)

I just posted that twice and the clock's an hour out too....sort yerself out Webmeister

Fordspeed · 27 Apr 2001, 18:50 (Ref:85918)

Hi folks,

Just joined,

Found the forum whilst browsing for Thruxton pics.

Thruxton is my local and I go at every opportunity, I'll be there with my camera out on the banking on the Sunday and in the Club chicane Grandstand on the Monday with my mate.

Great circuit, shame about the access to the "outback".

See ya,

Cheers,

Fordy

Lorna · 27 Apr 2001, 19:21 (Ref:85944)

Welcome Fordspeed.

If you want to meet up then you can either swap mobile phone numbers or just look out for the 10 Tenths caps with the logo on and a banner assuming it's ready in time

Just come over and say hello.

I have no idea where I am watching from even though I have been there 3 times before, I've never quite found the spot that I wanted to stay at.

Invader, have you checked the clock setting in your Edit Options? doh! Weymouth? You certainly live the high life

Les · 27 Apr 2001, 20:08 (Ref:85961)

Still got this grandstand ticket - don't suppose many people go on their on!
Dear weather man or girl - would like warm, sunny & DRY weekend please!
