Oulton Park BTCC

Daz · 8 Aug 2001, 21:21 (Ref:127787)

The campsite opens at 17:00-17:30 on the Friday evening and will shut when the circuit closes on Sunday night. Camping tickets are £5 per unit and the catering facilities will be open during most of the weekend. Tickets are on a first come first served basis.

Lorna · 10 Aug 2001, 22:43 (Ref:128678)

So who's going?

I AM! And being so close to paddocks brings cause to walk round, on Saturday night, in inebriated stated around paddocks and try and see what team we can cheese off. [hmmmmmm, what comment was made to a certain team earlier this year????]

Didn't we do that at Snetterton on Friday ???

(For some idea, I wandered round with my mitts on a Breezer, whilst WoodyTJ had a plastic wine glass (!) of wine & lemonade stowed in her pocket...)

And yes, I'm going to Oulton.

Lorna · 13 Aug 2001, 23:48 (Ref:129979)

Hmmmm, I think there was a comment made at Oulton Park earlier this year to a certain Touring Car team... Wasn't it that Spooner bloke? I wasn't there at the time, I think I was getting rocked in a Portaloo at the time! Pugman! Phil! Still not forgiven!

**Craig** · 14 Aug 2001, 18:38 (Ref:130423)

Hey, hey, i'm denying all knowledge! BTW, I *certainly* wasn't one of the peeps 'rocking' Lorna in the portaloo!!

F... f... What is this strange thing of which you speak???

Sounds like a load of balls to me.

Ho ho.

**bella** · 15 Aug 2001, 11:55 (Ref:130713)

oooh, bloody hell, it's two whole tanks of petrol away....
anyone want to be picked up halfway or something?

and don't diss the football season. ok, so my beloved ipswich have made me choose between them and minardi day already, but that's not the point. football replaces motorsport during the winter. only it's just as cold, and you still get traffic jams....

redshoes · 15 Aug 2001, 20:14 (Ref:130930)

Football ?? Nah, not enough wheels.

**Craig** · 15 Aug 2001, 21:09 (Ref:130962)

Right! I want as many people there as we can for this one - it's gonna be a good laugh, as usual, but more so! I am also led to believe that we are requested at a certain transporter for an official photo shoot at a time to be decided... so I want you all there and looking your best (okay, okay, with beer in hand at least!)

The idea of stopping over on Sunday night too has been suggested and I reckon it is a grand idea... I love Bank Holiday Mondays!!

Minardi fan · 15 Aug 2001, 21:56 (Ref:130996)

Bank Holidays are there to be hungover on. I vote for staying on Sunday night.

Daz · 15 Aug 2001, 21:59 (Ref:130999)

I've already checked with Oulton Park about when the campsite needs to be vacated.
The circuit will not be open on the bank holiday Monday so we will need to be off it by the Sunday evening before the circuit shuts.
Shame really as I was looking forward to a 3 night camp at Oulton.

sod that, i'm going.
i'll be coming up some time on saturday afternoon, so i'll get there around 5 or 6. if anyone needs a lift and doesn't mind being late please pm me. i'm going to have to as near as not sell myself to afford the petrol (£15 only filled the tank to 1/4....gulp.).....

WANTED - people to share car. must not mind driving up motorway singing to cheesy music.....

(ps it's an estate. it can carry lots of beer.

)

I find it's much better to lease yourself out these days.

Me an' Maisie will be there. Possibly both days. Dinosaurs shall attend, but red/yellow Minis probably won't

**bella** · 16 Aug 2001, 14:18 (Ref:131271)

hang on a minute. if i can get 47mpg out of the car by cruising behind a lorry... it may take 5 hours, but it'll save me a bomb... or i could take the caravelle, which runs on diesel and does remarkable mpg....

no mini? aww, it'll get lonely....

Les · 16 Aug 2001, 19:26 (Ref:131378)

well if you had said Saturday morning I would have joined you.

So I get to say hello to Steg and Bronty and Rex! Yay!

I was also contemplating sharing the drive, Bella but I will want to be up there to watch qualifying. Where do you live? Have you contemplated getting up there earlier? How about you drive to mine (if feasible) and I drive my economical car the rest of the way. The financial gain may be worth the earlier trip....

**Craig** · 16 Aug 2001, 21:14 (Ref:131425)

Bella, Invader and I had arranged to meet Saturday morning and drive up, but if you're happy sharing a ride together, then great

Means me and Daveo can go up in his van... courtesy of the company!

Sorted.

**bella** · 17 Aug 2001, 10:50 (Ref:131613)

ohh, arse.... see, there's an ipswich match on at 3pm on the saturday. and i would really like to go.
and i miss the other one cause of minardi day. grr!

arse. i hate major life decisions. i want to check our new seats out at town before the olds get back!

where's yours, lorna?

les, i may get back to you on that offer yet. bear with me while i figure out what the hell i do about ipswich....

Les · 17 Aug 2001, 18:27 (Ref:131822)

Someone will have to get to OP pretty early to be fire marshall.

woodyracing · 18 Aug 2001, 21:43 (Ref:132234)

Im going to try to make it to this event, im getting withdrawal symptoms - the last race i went to was the BTCC at donington with you guys

**bella** · 19 Aug 2001, 11:10 (Ref:132386)
