i have been to the mini action day more times than i can remember, however not been to this one myself but know a few who have, and meant to be very good!

the usual price apply £10 entry £35 track pass on the day, cheaper if either are booked in advance.

would be great to get on the track with some other classics (sadly there are some chav euro boxes there too, but nevermind) consider it a bit of practice for the mini day in sept?

anyone interested in going?

[cradley-heathen]

you are kidding? not one person wants to go? if i get there and there are no other minis i will be very dissapointed in you lot! (waggs finger at you all) lol

"bolt on bandits" lol thats funny!

from what i have seen there are plenty of folks on track ho know what they are doing and the novices seem to behave very well, keeping to the left for faster cars etc. you dont get that kind of behaviour at the mini event! i have seen overtaking on the wrong side, harrassing slower drivers and all sorts!

i really wish i hadnt seen that!

its the guy in the black mini with the kit on that worries me the most, approaching that bend he would clearly be able to see there had been an incident and the flags would be out, yet still keep up enough speed to spin right by them too! cripes!

yep, the yellow flag would have been out at least, although that should have been red flagged. when theres been crashes on trackdays at brands ive done, the sessions always been red flagged straight away for this reason. mind you, i bet too many of them didnt know what the flags mean.
