Cadwell Park - 8th April

[Lorna]

So who's gonna be there for Chris's second race of the season?

[Sparky]

I really think I ought to attend...
Wouldn't want Chris to have to worry about changing tyres 30 seconds before qualifying on his own!!

I wouldn't miss it for the world. And it'll be my first Cadwell visit...
And I promise I'll remember to take the Hob-Nobs out of the glovebox this time...

[Andy Roberts]

I'll be there doing my 2nd ever single seater race in the Formula Honda class. Come over and say hi if you like. I'm racing number 9.

What number is Chris Y as I'll come say hi to.

Excellent Andy! Look forward to meeting you.. I'll be in red/yellow Mini number 36. It's only my third ever race, and the second in a Mighty Mini. There'll probably be a crowd around the car if Donington's anything to go by. I reckon I'll be able to watch you race as well

Hrmph. I was going to post this thread - having just confirmed my entry today Thanks anyway Lorny

For the really keen among you, I have also booked in for a half-day's testing the day before - Saturday the 7th. Unfortunately, this means we'll have to leave earlier in the day to get there (Sparky, don't worry about being there for the start of that if you can't make it!)

The rest of the races? Well, not as exciting as Donny. We have:
V-Sport V6 (Eurocars - remember them?),
Radicals (endurance - bring your sleeping bag),
Formula Honda (look cool),
Mighty Minis!,
Super Mighty Minis,
Classic Formula Ford,
Karts (?! Presumably gearbox karts with all the aerodynamics)

Looking forward to it! Hope to see a big gathering again.. I just hope I get a bit more time to talk to you all this time, chances are I'll have some epic stories. (I was like that up the Mountain)

[Andy Roberts]

I'm there on the Saturday as well Chris for the full day so probably see ya there aswell. Minis and Hondas will be the best races of the day

Oi! it wasn't 30 seconds at Donny, I gave you plenty of notice! Remember Drew McLintock changing his tyres as I was headed for the assembly area?

I wouldn't miss it for the world. And it'll be my first Cadwell visit...

Likewise for me, and a fair few others I suspect. I'm going to dig out Rick P's Super Coupe video and see how he handles the Hall Bends..

And I promise I'll remember to take the Hob-Nobs out of the glovebox this time...

And we had some Jelly Babies too. I'll bring some beer to Cadwell as well

Beer??


Er... it is a clockwise circuit isn't it?

Just so you know which way to turn out of the pitlane!

[Chris Y]

After the race, silly!

I suppose since I'm driving a red/yellow car, with the number 36, it'll have to be Stella Artois.. Anyone who's been to see Mr. Mallett racing will know what I mean by that

I can't wait! Just got to sort out the finer points of getting there and stopping over somewhere..

[Lorna]

Ooops, sorry I beat you to that Chris. I was concerned that after it was mentioned in the Donny thread, that it would continue in there. I'll be more patient in the future and let you do your own announcements.

[Chris Y]

Anyone else planning a trip up on Saturday?

Is that wise?

[Lorna]

lol Les!

I know I asked people if they were going but I won't be able to make it myself. Sorry Chris. I'll be thinking of you. The move is this week and I don't think my mum will appreciate me showing her where the cleaning stuff is and leaving her to it!

Pleeeeease, somebody text message me and let me know how Chris gets on.

No doubt there will be other race meetings that I CAN attend and say hi to Andy as well if you are on the same program.

[Chris Y]

Right, I think the 'usual suspects' are going to be going up on the Saturday - that is me, Craig, Sparky and Maisie, and staying over at a Travelodge somewhere..

I imagine there'll be more people coming on the Sunday? Can we have a show of hands who'll be there?

Sorry you can't make it Lorny - we'll keep you updated though..

[Carrie]

I need to get a map out, but I think I might be saying that Cadwell is a bit too far.

[Chris Y]

Timetable for 8th (qualifying):

9:00 - Classic Formula Ford
9:20 - Long Circuit Karts
9:45 - Radical Bi-Duro
10:05 - VSR 6 (Eurocars)
10:30 - Mighty Minis!
10:50 - Formula Honda!
11:15 - Super Mighty Minis
11:35 - Long Circuit Karts (again)

Races start at 1pm, and the Minis are 5th, so I reckon the Mini race will be on at about 2pm..

Andy - I notice the Formula Honda race is ony 4 cars strong! I thought the minimum was 12 per race? Is it always like this?
