Mighty Mighty Minis - Snetterton - 22nd of July

Chris Y · 9 Jul 2001, 23:47 (Ref:115032)

Right - before you lot get carried away over the Mini festival at Mallory, there's the slight distraction of a Mighty Min race at Snetterton. July 22nd. Sunday

Big Caterham festival apparently..

I will have a fresh cylinder head (I tried to get my own head cleaned out, but the garage said they only did engines

) and will be trying my damnest to get past my usual rivals in qualifying. Expect fireworks!

Please, tell me it doesn't clash with anything? Mind you, even if it didn't, it's probably too far away or something

Will post a schedule when it gets to me. I'm also testing on the Friday - couldn't get testing on the Saturday, because of too many "bloody Caterhams" as the Octagon chappie put it

Minardi fan · 9 Jul 2001, 23:54 (Ref:115037)

C... C... Caterhams???

Ooooooh Chriiiis... but Snetterton is MIIIILES away and I can only get there if someone gives me a liiiiift... AAAAAAARGH!!!!

**Craig** · 10 Jul 2001, 05:33 (Ref:115113)

Caterhams ? Even more reason to go...!!

Seeya there folks

Mr Fan, *might* be able to help... seem to have booked Friday, Monday and Tuesday off work as I originally planned to go to Knockhill... so no need to rush nack after the race

**bella** · 10 Jul 2001, 11:33 (Ref:115209)

mini mini mini mini mini mini mini...

hey, snetterton's down the road from me

and as i won't be eating, drinking or sleeping for a month post grand prix for designing websites for work, i could probably beg borrow or steal some petrol from the olds...

count me in, fellas

woodyracing · 10 Jul 2001, 11:53 (Ref:115223)

i wont be able to go to this one,
but good luck Chris anyway!

TimD · 10 Jul 2001, 18:02 (Ref:115337)

Er... Craig, is this the one I promised to come to? I get so confused in my old age.

If it is - then count me in!

**Craig** · 10 Jul 2001, 18:16 (Ref:115343)

It is indeed, your highness.

I already did...

Sparky, are you ready for us ?

Must give the old boy a ring at some point - see how he's doing and when he'll be back online.

**Craig** · 10 Jul 2001, 18:22 (Ref:115346)

Mr Fan, we'll need to work something out on getting you there... where can you get to ? or do you need collecting from Leamington ?

Minardi fan · 10 Jul 2001, 23:27 (Ref:115423)

Are people just going for the Sunday? The twits at work have put me down to finish at 9pm on the Saturday when I said I could only do either first thing in the morning or not at all.

Yes I will need picking up from Leamington (I think.)

**Craig** · 11 Jul 2001, 05:58 (Ref:115496)

Sorry chap, was thinking of going up first thing Saturday, or possibly late Friday evening...

**bella** · 11 Jul 2001, 09:01 (Ref:115530)

my mum might be coming too (being a fan of mini racing in ye olden days), depending on how bored she gets of baking cakes for my dad and brothers cricket games.
me, i'm just going for the sunday.

of course, this is all based on the wee matter of a financial crisis...

Minardi fan · 11 Jul 2001, 10:19 (Ref:115542)

Therefore I shall be going to Donington

.

Minardi fan · 11 Jul 2001, 11:06 (Ref:115583)

Possibly...

**Craig** · 11 Jul 2001, 17:22 (Ref:115728)

Bugger! Have words, Fan - this one's not to be missed! I've been thinking and I think that Saturday morning is probably the best bet... there's the small matter of my tax return to get sorted at some point... that Friday sounds like a good opportunity!

**bella** · 11 Jul 2001, 18:01 (Ref:115743)

wahey! my mum probably *is* coming

best behaviour, chaps

nah, me mum's a right laugh. like me but a few hundred years wiser

**Craig** · 11 Jul 2001, 19:22 (Ref:115787)

Cool! Make sure she is on her best behaviour though as we're impressionable young things...!

Chris Y · 11 Jul 2001, 23:13 (Ref:115892)

My mum (Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted) may also be coming. Watch out!

Ok, the festivities only start on the Sunday, so there's not really much point turning up on the Saturday. There will just be some luna.. er, mania.. er, no, Caterham racers testing on the Sat, and I'll be testing on the Fri afternoon..

Mark, you can't miss Minis! can you? (That wasn't really a question

)

Tim! You're coming! Cool!

Sparky's ready for us - he has been forewarned..

Will our hero get his head cleaned out in time? Will Mrs. Doyle make a celebrity apearance at Snetterton? Will a small town in Norfolk be big enough for a night-time 10/10ths invasion? Stay tuned - all will be revealed...

Minardi fan · 11 Jul 2001, 23:25 (Ref:115897)

No I can't miss the bloody MINIS!!! But it depends on what the *******S at work say!!! If I can change my shift to the morning, then there's a good chance of MINI MAYHEM!!! Otherwise, I'm going to Donington

?.

Chris Y · 14 Jul 2001, 00:23 (Ref:116816)

Just popping this one to the top... Can't have you all forgetting about Minis! now, can we?

Minardi fan · 16 Jul 2001, 11:04 (Ref:117668)

Haven't forgotten - just can't get there.. *sob*

(And after the dull-as-hell F3 at the GP I'm not toooo fussed about Donington...)

Chris Y · 17 Jul 2001, 11:04 (Ref:118225)

I have the timetable - so I'll post some more information about this later..

I'm off to fit a new exhaust, and take my engine apart

Chris Y · 18 Jul 2001, 23:00 (Ref:118986)

Okay, the exhaust is fitted, but the engine's still in bits..

What do you mean it's nearly Thursday?!?!

Yeah okay. I know I'm cutting it fine considering I'm testing on Friday, but considering what I found out - I'm glad I did it...

Anyway - timetable:

Qualifying:
Caterham Academy - 9:00
Caterham Super Grads - 9:20
Caterham Roadsports - 9:45
Mighty Minis - 10:10
Caterham Superlight - 10:35
Road Saloons - 11:00
Classic FFord 2000 - 11:25
Super Mighty Minis - 11:45

Races, start at 13:00
Caterham Race Academy - 10 laps
Caterham Super Grads - 10 laps
Caterham Roadsports - 30 minutes
Mighty Minis - 10 laps
Caterham Superlights - 30 minutes
Road Saloons - 10 laps
Classic FFord 2000 - 12 laps
Super Mighty Minis - 10 laps

All in all - over 70 Caterhams will be competing this weekend - although thanks to common sense, not at the same time

Sparky · 19 Jul 2001, 00:06 (Ref:119005)

Well, now that I'm living 9 (count 'em) nine miles from Sunny Snetterton, I couldn't very well pass this one up, now could I?

Chris - can you remember where all those bits go?

Just what did you find, anyway?

Looking forward to seeing you all again - it's been a while...
Minardifan - you HAVE to be there.

Steal a bus, hijack a plane, whatever - be there!!!

Looking forward to this!

Maisie · 19 Jul 2001, 00:58 (Ref:119019)

Minardi Fan, can you get a train to anywhere close on Sat or Sun - we could pick you up from somewhere if you can make it. You've gotta be there!!
