Doubtful if theres going to be a club stand this year but a meet at the MK stand at 11:00am and 3:00pm is the usual thing to do.

Have phun!


Hellfire - 10/10/05 at 11:17 AM

If weathers OK, there will be a few of us heading that way down on the M1

Probably on the Sunday.


kevano - 10/10/05 at 03:58 PM

let us know what time you're thinking of going down and i'll arrange to meet up with you cheers


Hellfire - 10/10/05 at 09:28 PM

No probs. Just gotta keep our fingers crossed for the weather to hold out.


Hellfire - 11/10/05 at 12:10 PM

Just checked weather. Ideal driving conditions on Sunday - Sunny all day and quite cold

Woodall Service Station could be a good meeting place or Junction 30 - Plenty of space in lay-by's. Anyone coming down the M1 from further North?

Come on, lets try and make this one helluva convoy


kevano - 11/10/05 at 03:53 PM

great news hellfire, be better if i could meet you at 29 otherwise it means coming back on myself for about 20 miles,
come on guys as hellfire says lets make this one helluva convoy!!!!!


Avoneer - 11/10/05 at 04:00 PM

Yeah, but in a Scenic

Pat...


kevano - 11/10/05 at 05:31 PM

kevano - 11/10/05 at 08:37 PM

OK, so that's four. There must be more coming down from further North or East


PAUL FISHER - 12/10/05 at 08:34 PM

With it being spread over two days, I think,quite a few are going down on saturday.


Hellfire - 12/10/05 at 08:59 PM

Yeah but why - There's no track action on the Saturday is there?


PAUL FISHER - 12/10/05 at 11:01 PM

Thats why we are going sunday,for the track action,be nice just to watch for a change,see if I can pick out my next project,hope to see a LMP going round,thats on my short list at the moment


Hellfire - 13/10/05 at 11:20 AM

welderman - 13/10/05 at 05:50 PM

Thinking of going in my Indy too, anyone from Preston/Manchester area going down on Sunday.


rusty nuts - 13/10/05 at 07:18 PM

Are you taking the young lady?


welderman - 13/10/05 at 07:35 PM

No she cant make it, sorry, but im open to offers to give a lift to someone as log as they have a skid lid(or they dont mind the wind /engine HOWLE)


Just done auto route, 120 mile from home to donnington, average speed of 85 on m/way, 2hrs 1 min. So about 1hr from M1 Jnct 30. Will give it a go.

welderman - 13/10/05 at 08:45 PM

So the convoy has a police escourt then.LOL.

Average speed now 90mph, 1hr 45 min.


welderman - 14/10/05 at 12:23 PM

Joe


Hellfire - 14/10/05 at 06:17 PM

We'll certainly try though


welderman - 14/10/05 at 10:49 PM

Great news, might u2u on sat if thats ok.
Joe


Hellfire - 15/10/05 at 08:48 AM

No problem.

To all the others in the convoy - Any chance of meeting up approx 15 mins later? Say 9.15 at Junction 30


kevano - 15/10/05 at 08:55 AM

anyone know if i'll def need to show my license just for the odd twenty minute session? having a bit of trouble finding it!!!!!


welderman - 15/10/05 at 10:13 AM

9.15 is better for me, i can stay in bed 15min longer.
