Your so funny, you ever thought of a career on the stage?

Hi guys,

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves yesterday. It was a really great day for us, although a little bit too long! Nice to see all the pics too. If you ever want to arrange another trip in future they just give us a shout.

by **tux** Tue 15 Mar 2011, 05:31

Cheers guys, I have no doubt that we will take you up on that in the future. Maybe somewhere a little further South for you guys though!

Bedford Bedford Bedford please!!!! would like Cadwell don't like snetterton.

by **Monkeymagic** Tue 15 Mar 2011, 08:04

Castle combe as its only 30 minds from home ThumbsUp

will be up for next time

by **tux** Tue 15 Mar 2011, 09:53

I could live with Bedford. Cadwell is too far North and waaaay out in the sticks so not good for most people. Must admit, I'm not keen on Snet myself, but who knows. Castle Combe is just too far for an old man like me to make a 7.30am start I'm afraid, so I'd probably give that one a miss! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Circuit days and one or two others deff do Mallory, so its a question of whether they will accomodate B&K in their (our!) needs.
In fairness, Donington was a hell of a long day for Nico and Andrew and Mallory wouldn't be much better, so the thinking was that maybe somewhere further south would help by knocking a couple of hours off their journey.
Have to agree with Rob, in terms of technical demands and safety, you will struggle to beat Bedford.

by **Bubble & Kick Racing** Tue 15 Mar 2011, 21:09

Haha, don't worry about us! We much prefer to be out on track and at the circuit rather than stuck in wet old Essex!

We will soon have finished our next instruction car, a BMW Mini that may not be as fast in a straight line as the Megane but is basically a road going race car. It has a roll cage, full harnesses and bucket seats but also has the dual control pedals!

by **Monkeymagic** Wed 16 Mar 2011, 02:17

only thing im worried about is getting my fat ass in the bucket seats - might need to put a arm chair in instead!!

want some where with lots of staights and not amy corners - that way i wont show myself up!!

You want Santa Pod you do! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Mini sounds interesting. Just out of interest, did Nico actually have to use that extra pedal with anyone on Sunday?

Ah Pete you make me laugh sometimes Razz

Croft!!!

But you know what it is so good to see cars racing around donny again after what we saw just 14 months ago not knowing then if the track would ever be used again.

And I know its a bit anal but isn't that a red 944 going past at the beginning of the MX5 video? I notice he never catches it Wink

by **Monkeymagic** Wed 16 Mar 2011, 04:57

and i was not even trying to stay in front!!

by **tux** Wed 16 Mar 2011, 05:39

Lolz! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It was actually a Toofah with a CGT kit on it. Arrived on a trailer and was smoking like a bugger.
Sunday was the first time that cars have used Melbourne loop since before the closure too, very unusual for a track day event to be allowed the honour of the full GP circuit.

by **Mav666** Wed 16 Mar 2011, 06:33

I was close then Laughing

really wish I could have made it, if only to see the track as it is now

by **tux** Wed 16 Mar 2011, 06:48

I'm sure there will be another opportunity before we are much older. Very Happy

It was just too much fun to not do it again.

by **hersham boy** Wed 16 Mar 2011, 10:08

If the Essex boys don't mind Traveling Oulton Park is awesome, ThumbsUp

I could put them up overnight in my Caravan. Laughing

Erm........ no comment!

No, he didn't use it on anyone. Although he did consider it with me on the way back!
