Branners Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Cant quite understand it, but Pod said around June time that they were completely booked up for 2008 and had been for 12 months. Which is why we are struggling to find a slot. They can do weekday slots easily (and cheaply) but we are holding out for a weekend. Shakespear County Raceway said they can only run on certain days and have to run RWYB on those days to basically make money. They said we could take on a RWYB day and run it ourselves, but that means opening the gates to the hoi paloi which isnt good. I like the idea of the MR2 clubs joining us. The Skyline people showed their true colours at TOTB this year and I wouldnt want them to get pushy or stroppy with our organisation if it didnt run to their rules. Sweeping statement I know but it put me off them a little. We will run some sort of 1/4 mile event next year, but date, location and facilties are unknown. Just those small elements to sort out and its all go JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 yeah definatly not a subaru club. it would be 90% of the blue and gold wheel things every where. and loads of chavs. I like the idea of the mr2's that red mr2 this year was amazing edit: i will also be n/a-tt too by then, so even more of a reason to give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think we should stick to the same format as this year. IE. A MkIVSupra.net exclusive event with others by invitation only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 tbh it doesnt have to be at pod at all, I quite like the events at airfields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm looking forward to this next year too (though I think I'll just be watching). I'm liking the idea of camping overnight this time if poss though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadburys Purple Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Will definitely go to this, no matter what date, I'll be there:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 yeah the rogue guys were good to watch. You didn''t enjoy the other MR2s then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Have you tried York Raceway or are you concentrating on the more southern sites first? 01422 843651 (Office) [email protected] The site is owned by a farmer, I can't see him turning down the chance of easy money but noise regs etc might be a factor. They have camping there on their RWYB weekends but facilities are a bit limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 We have been looking to try and keep it as central as we can, but not ruling anything out. York is quite a way from B'mth though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 York is quite a way from B'mth though Santa Pod is quite a way from Inverness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 True but we have fewer northern / highland members and alot more mainland country members. Leeds / manchester etc... downwards. We will hopefully find something, do you find it too far away for you michael? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Santa Pod is obviously the best venue to go for if it's available and probably best located for the majority of members. I probably wouldn't attend if it was in York or my back garden, I just wanted to throw the York option into the mix while alternative venues were being considered.

No probs, was just wondering if you felt it was too far. Like you say we need to consider all options at moment especially if we dont get a slot at Santa Pod.

colsoop Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I think we have enough members now to do a Bruntingthorpe day. it was talked about before but we didn't seem to have enough interest, we would definitley get that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSupTT Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I am a new proud Supra Owner and Id be well up for joining you guys to one of these events. Sounds like great fun! I've never been, but one of my mates who is a GT4 owner said its a brilliant day out, hes been a few times to Santa Pod. Count me in!

DaveSupTT Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Bruntingthorpe race track and other possible race tracks that may be possibilities for a day out. Not sure if there all open to the public. Might be worth a look. http://www.autoinsider.co.uk/motorsport/bruntingthorpe-race-circuit.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
