Idea For Supra Mini Break (With Date Vote)

[Duffers]

Aye, I'll probably be up for that too if its just a few days. Would be a giggle that, I reckon!

:upside:

[mawby]

You can do all the driving then!

[Tigger]

You said I was anyway:tongue:

[mawby]

Yeah, but now I have it in writing for what you 'forget'.... like you always forget to take your purse out with you and I end up paying!

[Tigger]

I could always get another super mod to delete it. Or I will use “I was tired and ill so didn’t know what I was doing:D

[mawby]

I think another super mod will tell you off soon for hyjacking her thread!

[Tigger]

Who hyjacked the thread? MR Mawby

[Supragal]

Yeah, but now I have it in writing for what you 'forget'.... like you always forget to take your purse out with you and I end up paying!

 

No way!! I thought STOX was the only one who did that!!

[Tigger]

What he forgets to take he's purse out:p.

 

I had mine nicked once so I don’t tend to take it out any more, if I do it has nothing init:D

Round trip can be done in 2 days, but agree its too much for a (long) weekend. Maybe day trips from base would be the way to go.

 

Crail, Knockhill and there is a place on the road to Aberdeen (can't remember the name right now) are the main places for staged events. There's also the local cruisin scene too.

 

Here's the link to the Crail calendar (goes up to July at present) http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/schedule.asp

 

And Knockhill

http://www.knockhill.com/trackdays/index.php

 

Would suggest HOT MARQUES TRACKDAYS (£10K+ cars) as people tend to be more careful on the track.

 

It's a bit of a distance for 1 day (coming from England)...travelling up on the Friday/leave Monday would be more relaxing.

[bedlam]

Your thinking of Edzell Supraman,not a good place,better staying with Crail, on a NON mag day, that way if everyone decides to come up then they get it nice and quiet and lots of runs..if wanted.

[Supragal]

So do people want to do a track day thing while up there?

[Dale B]

I wasnt particularily looking for a track day, a cruise, booze, barby was more my idea, but I'll go with the majority

[tDR]

I'd say fitting in a Crail non-mag day would be best... base ourselves in the aforementioned field (arrive friday evening for most folk I guess), spend the night time socialising etc. Do something Saturday, possibly Edinburgh Castle or other Touristy Edinburgh things and drive to Crail - about an hours drive at a slow pace - early Sunday morning (usually set off around 8AM). Now this means those that want some timed 1/4 mile or sprint track action can do it and those that don't can also have a nice day out spectating - there is also a show and shine area so we could also get a club stand area there. The drive to Crail itself is quite scenic and takes in some nice views and coastal towns. We'd leave Crail around 4PM and I'd suggest we pile into Dundee (pretty much on route back) or Edinburgh for an evening meal - both have Jimmy Cheungs all you can eat chinese buffets. The food is great and it's £12 a head plus your drinks, plus they have massive long tables for large groups. Afterwards people can return to base or head straight home via either the A1 or M8 / M74 combo.

 

How's this sound with everyone? I'd suggest a pencilled in date of the weekend starting Friday June 10th 2005 (Crail Raceway non-mag day Sunday 12th June 2005)... if this is ok with the Majority we'll start an attendance list

 

Cheers,

 

Brian.

That all sounds pretty good to me, arrive Friday evening, leave Monday afternoon...loads of food / socialising / driving in between....ideal

[Supragal]

Will it be warm enough to camp in June? Plus of course (damn you!) I don 'know if my car will be done by then...hense suggesting summer. But if I can't go then I can't go

[CJ]

The only downside is the fact that we would have to take two days holiday as it is not a bank Holiday weekend. Also, my son (14) who accompanies me to all the meets would have to take 2 days off school and there is no way his mum would allow that

[Dale B]

Might be an idea to "poll" ideal dates and organise with the majority, otherwise a date will never be set. "you can please some of the people some of the time"... etc etc. (Except if you're like me and have no life and can attend anytime)

[tDR]

We could go for a July date if that suits the majority better? Or August when a Crail schedule is published. Not sure if we can work it into a bank holiday weekend as I can't see the Crail website at work. It wouldn't be too hard to fit it all into arrive Friday leave Sunday evening for those that can't stay 'til Monday I don't think.

 

Cheers,

 

Brian.

Go and take your car back and drive it up pollyfilla and all

[Supragal]

I agree we need to vote on a date. No immediate rush but CJ- do you know when the summer hols start & finish? Brian- when you can, check out the website and see when 'suitable' dates would be.

 

Are people ok to take 1 or 2 days off work?

 

How does take Fri and Mon off work so drive up on Friday, drive back on Mon? Have both weekend days up there?

[CJ]

I believe it is the last week of July but please do not change things just to suit me. That would be unfair to everyone else. I will go with the majority and grovel to the ex

[Supragal]

But if we know then we can at least have some dates in that time and of course go with the majority

[tDR]

OK Crail non-mag (quiet) days summerish are:

 

12th June (weekend of the 10th)

26th June (weekend of the 24th)

18th August (weekend of the 16th)

18th September (weekend of the 16th)

 

18th August perhaps the most obvious?

[Dale B]

Can we have a poll of these dates put up please. (dont know why Im asking I can go anytime LOL)...cheers mod (whichever)
