21st September 2008, 09:20 AM
I know it is a bit short notice but Knockhill have offered me a 2 hour slot from 4-6pm. The cost per car will be £50. All Passengers go free but must be signed on. It will be cash on the night and please only put your name down if you can 100% attend as I don't fancy paying for 'no shows' at £50 a pop:hand:

For those who have been on my track nights before you know there are going to be no old heaps fleeing round looking for an accident. Click on this link to see the usual suspects who attend. http://www.motorsportphotographic.com/sv_tracknight/gallery.html I need at least 10 from NMS to make this work. It is not restricted to Minis but if not then it must be of a value of over 10k.

The night is run by Knockhill with strict rules in place for your safety and enjoyment. Please PM me if you have any questions.

Hi Knoxy, yeah that is fine as long as you put a passenger seat in and don't worry the non race cars I don't have a problem. Are you in?

Hope you guy's enjoyed it out there tonight, wish i could have been out myself but I have about 87p left in my budget!!

Knoxy - thanks for the entertainment, best flying lap in a passenger seat I've ever had.....I had hoped never to have to look down Duffus through the passenger window again but hey!!

went up with the idea of just having a few passenger laps but Mark talked me into going on the track. :eyes up:

Thanks again Mark - had a ball.

The noise of that 360CS was STUNNING!!...

sorry to hear that Alan's Cooper Race Car had a terminal engine issue... Hope it doesn't turn out to be too big a bill. :frown::frown:

Also nice way for the Elise to be "run in"... :thumbs up::thumbs up:

Well done Stoney - even if you wanted to use a longer track :thud:;bigwave:

hahahaha no worries chris, was a bit of banter anyway :)

the story about your grill is just priceless :laugh:

360 cs must be 1 of the best sounding cars out there!

i only got a shot of the 360 but even that sounded ace @ 8500 rpm!

i was definately not letting you past mark, im struggling to live down the fact i slowed up in a 10 lap race never thinking about you getting by me in the mini when i was driving the ferrari!!!!

Hi Guys,

Great fun last night!! Lots of nice cars. Al took me out in the Aston Martin V8 which was awesome fun. I don't think we were pointing forwards very often!!:thumbs up: The Mini was great fun as per usual and I wish I could have overtaken Knoxy in the 360 but he had just a wee bit too much poke in a straight line.

Craig, Stoney & Roscoe were all pushing hard and well done for flying the Mini flag proudly in amoungst all the exotica.:cool:

Pictures are now up on http://www.motorsportphotographic.com/sv_tracknight_sep_08/gallery.html

Some real good ones Andrew!!:thumbs up: Thanks again for being the resident photographer definatley adds value to an already great experience!!
