Avon Park  16th / 17th July 2005.

This is THE ultimate weekend for all Classic Mini & new MINI owners. The UK's premier Mini drag racing weekend. The BIG Black track is waiting for you are you ready to take it on.

THE BIG CHALLENGE !!! Are you up for it ? Mini vs MINI - which one is the fastest down the black slab. Come and see a classic Mini take on a new MINI Cooper S. See Stuart Meades and his rear wheel drive Nitrous injected Mini. With something like 450 bhp to play with he must be aiming for the 10 second barrier this year. Or Maybe a John Cooper Works MINI can beat him and take off and storm down the track. See the Motorbike engined Z cars Mini Grass Tracker pulling a wheelie on the start line - awesome.

Posted Image thats the pic of us at the show last year taken from mini mag



last year was a great turn out, even getting us into the mags for are show stand.

this year i want to be bigger and better...

you can camp right next to your cars, and we can set are selfs up how we want....
a realy fun weekend away.

and a chance to drag your mini down the strip, even if yours is a small 1.0L ask Charile brown, he gave it a go once, after that we didnt see him, he spent ages just getting his starts perferct and raceing all sorts down the track,


so i need to start thinking about amount of people so i can clam our camping space,

as for costs it is about £45.00 for 2 people. payed ia the net and not on the gate

I have booked the week off specially for this event. It is the one event I want to do most this year, and the one I am aiming to get the Clubby finished for.

I shall definitely be going, and there will be 3 or 4 cars in our little group (Clubman Katie b.f and italianjob1275 among them).

I didn't stay with the forum group last year at Shakespeare Raceway, but would love to this year, so count me in!
