TT-DEK Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Peters meeting them at 7-7.30?? WOW, that is an early start? I,d prefer to go early. JUST GO TO BED EARLIER FRIDAY NIGHT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Im up for what ever you guys decide, are you thinking leaving mascrat at 7 is too late? is 6:30 more realistic? how far from mascrat is everyone? how about if we aimed to leave Mascrat by 7am? then, 140-160 all the way there means we could have breakfast at Pod before the racing starts Wez dont forget you have some N/A boys with you, youll be at 160 before the N/A has wound the elastic bands up! Also as Matt proved supras dont like 160! sorry matt ill wait for the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonv Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I am now going to this event. I think you guys are missing out on wanting to leave on Saturday morning. We normally go on the Friday night at about 6.30 to 7 pm. We stay over about 11 miles from Santa Pod. The road is quite, we have a meal at this American road side restaurant and drive around milton Keyens which on a Friday is packed with petrol heads. The travel lodge in Milton Keyens has a car park across the road that normally attracts hundreds of cars. You get up Saturday relaxed, and go for breakfist maybe a little detour for coffee at Turbo-Fit and then Santa Pod. It makes the weekend a nice experience rather than the race down on the morning and the race back after. I would definitly recommend the 1st option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitly recommend the 1st option this sounds like a really good idea - i'm going to look into going down the night before to avoid the RIDICULOUSLY early start!! Leon, is it the Old Stratford Travelodge you're referring to? can anyone be a backup to give Matt a lift if necessary? i don't fancy spending the night with him as well! if i do end up going down Sat morning, i ain't fussed about the Toddington convoy, rather just get straight there & set off later!

leonv Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The travellodge with the American Diner is in Wellingboruogh Rushden and the one in Milton Keyens is Milton Keynes Central. Let us know what you decide. I am leaving Friday morning at 5.30am to get some final tweaking done by Turbo-fit and spend the day there.
