30th July 2012, 06:42 PM
Can you tell me what the day entails in a bit more detail as I've never been? ;) what time does it start/finish, what is parking like and how much will the entry cost, food available to buy or take your own etc. Exposed / sheltered location - any cover? I hear there's a variety of racing including a bit of mini-ing :motoring:. Thank you!

OK, Qualifying normally starts from about 08:30hrs.... racing from about 10:30/11 depending on how many races they have on during the day.

Parking, this is anywhere round the track, we normally park down by the main straight.

Entry - normally £12 pp for SMRC meets like this one.

Food, take your own, or there is a restaurant or cafe where you can everything from rolls on bacon to a sit down meal. Prices are comparable to most fast food places.

Shelter..... :lol: your at Knockhill, it's always sunny :thud: There are sheds which give cover at Clarks and the Hairpin. The rest of the track, you are in the open.

Racing - Legends, MINI's, Fiestas, Formula Ford, Scottish Sports and Saloons, plus Classics Checkout more details at www.knockhill.com :thumbs up:

8th August 2012, 09:16 PM
Can you add me to this please (might not have the Mini though:sad:)

Just a thought. I can bring the gazebo if you think we can use it? I am also happy to bring some bacon to feed us all if someone wants to get rolls and butter? Let me know.

Over the years there have been many many highlights,

I'm on for this now - out night before, but will take it easy-ish. I don't drink often these days, so 2 shandies and I'll probably fall asleep... Rock N' Roll eh?

Anyway, Stoney's very kindly going to let me be a 'GPassenger', which will remove any 'morning after blood/alcohol' worries. You know it makes sense folks!

Also, after getting my head burned to a crisp at the Scottish Car Show (next day I looked like a fat match), I'll be sporting my stunning 'Sun Cream and Daft Hat' combo - which will guarantee it'll be p*ss*ng down all day.

See you on Sunday.

JO - It IS dead easy to find the Shell place - you pass it on the M/Way before Castle Cary arches. I can find it, and I'm totally useless :argh:

DarnShiv
10th August 2012, 10:13 AM
Anybody heading up from Fife or Edinburgh want to meet up?

MINIme:)
10th August 2012, 01:33 PM
Ohhhhh the one that's actually ON the M80? Thought you meant I should take the cumbernauld turn off and it was there somewhere.

Can manage that no bother ;)

Hoping that if my pal comes I can somehow persuade him to get to somewhere handy or go halfs on a taxi to mine as he lives in pollockshields which would be a 30mile round trip to get him - in the wrong direction! And early :frown: I don't do early very well.

Next question is - anyone patient enough to not leave me too far behind on your blast up to the track from the kincardine bridge meeting place - sounds like a road you guys love and I will not be fast on! Or at least stop and wait for me if there's a turning! It will be interesting to see how stressful I find it being left for dust ;)

last question (for now :smilewinkgrin: ) is it worth taking a folding chair or do you need to stand to see what's going on?
;)

Big Gordy
10th August 2012, 02:25 PM
I don't mind running 'tail gunner' to keep everyone right Jo :smilewinkgrin:
A deck chair would be handy as there isn't that many seats (unless you stay at the hairpin) Standing is advisable while watching the racing tho :thumbs up:

Looking set to be good weather so beware of the Knockhill tan.. Wind makes you forget and you end up burnt to a crisp lol! Enjoy :) :)

Is it a pretty exposed location then?

you don't have tax disc holders without a logo do you?

Craig
11th August 2012, 06:14 PM
It's on the top of a hill so it's either scorchio and you leave looking like a balechia beacon, or the wind and rain make you look like a drowned rat :thumbs up:

I don't have any tax disc holders without the logo, but why would you want that :confused:

MINIme:)
11th August 2012, 06:18 PM
you know why :p I just want a plain one ;)

Crombers
11th August 2012, 11:57 PM
Ok peeps,

Bed - just going
Petroleum - need some
Coffee - flask located
Chairs - in garage (i think)
MINI - in garage (i know)

Looking forward to tomorrow, it's been a while :thumbs up:

MINIme:)
12th August 2012, 01:14 AM
flask - good idea.

Bed - also a good idea. I've got into a really bad habit of starting to paint walls at about 11.30 - 12pm ;) Finished that one now!

Stoney / Elf - remind me to get cash at the shell garage ;) otherwise I'll hold you personally responsible and will probably need to try and get you to buy me lunch. And pay my entrance fee :thumbs up:
see you about half 8 - I can picture a garage, (hopefully it's the same one you're picturing) but I can't rem how far along it is. Fingers crossed.

Enjoyed my few hours up there ;). Great to see everyone ! Looking forward to my fish supper next Sunday ;)

ELFMAN
12th August 2012, 07:58 PM
That was a good day out! I remembered my sun cream and daft hat, so only mildly toasted today - much like my fish in the canteen... they gave me a new one though (cooked this time), and the CHIPS (quiet Joanna) were tasty.

Really nice to see everybody today, especially those who have been 'Missing In Action' for so long! Most enjoyable to catch up, and Neil & Lorna's chair saved my back and legs in the afternoon. Good to meet a couple of 'New Faces' too - hopefully we didn't put you off. Oh, and the racing was pretty good as well!

Laugh on the way home when a certain very lovely black and shiny Maserati Quattroporte foolishly 'underestimated the alacrity' of Stoney and the GP when negotiating a certain long tightening right-hand bend and motorway slip road. They were under the impression that they could dispatch the wee motor with disdainful ease. They were sadly mistaken. Maserati 0, GP 1. Another golden moment for 'TEAM GP' on the final day of the Olympics!

All in all, a fine day. See you next Sunday for the Edinburgh to St. Andrews run :bigwave:

ps Joanna, if you're ever stuck for something to paint, I have a nice hut which needs doing... :smilewinkgrin:

MINIme:)
12th August 2012, 08:04 PM
haha!! I saw that with the black car, had a wee grin to myself ;)

I wasn't sure what it was at the time, I just knew it was shiny, expensive and fast and that he had a superiority complex :smilewinkgrin: but not for long! :clap:



edit: Alacrity.....good word. I'll have to look that one up :yes nod:

I wasn't sure what it was at the time, I just knew it was shiny, expensive and fast and that he had a superiority complex :smilewinkgrin: but not for long! :clap:

edit: Alacrity.....good word. I'll have to look that one up :yes nod:

Tim Sleigh incident

When you look at these please bear in mind that, Tim got himself out of the car, got on his bonnet and bowed to the crowd.

Wow, a credit to the roll cage and safety harness, glad he had the presence of mind to keep his arm inside, could have been a bad injury.
Good catch with the camera Neil, bet a lot of the "official" guys never caught it

Ach, that'll buff out, that will.:p

That is one seriously buggered MINI. Can't see that back on the road, but I guess it depends on the chassis. Testament to the roll cage though, that he was able to walk away from that. Incredible.

Good pics too.:thumbs up:

ABS failure in to Duffus. Tim tried to avoid collecting any other cars but in taking avoiding action the inside of his wheel caught the back of the donut kerb and launched him.

4 complete rolls, the cage has been passed for re-use by the scrutineers, the shell is fair worn out however.

Well the main thing is that Tim is ok glad there is some thing that can be salvaged ;)

Good photos Neil, motor drive working overtime :thumbs up:

Steven, motor drive did its job perfectly.
The first 3/4 shots are not usable as there out of focus grass and the marshal station as the camera was being lifted, if the camera was a gun I'd probably of shot myself in the foot.:hand:

Thanks to all of the others who commented on the pictures, its good to see an expensive hobby get recognized.:thumbs up:

hey all... not sure why, but i'm not getting notifications on this thread anymore!

Great to see you all... although looks like I missed some of you as well.

Was a good weekend by the end of it... we did 2 gearboxes on Saturday so only got 15 mins of testing. Qualified 8th but then got dropped to 10th due to setting fastest lap under a yellow (whoopsie)... hard 1st two races, finished 9th and 8th, but managed a good 4th in the 3rd race. Positively we were 3rd fastest in Race 1 which was pleasing.

Also very relieved Tim was ok... was a nasty smash, but Tims made of strong stuff luckily... I'm sure he'll be back stronger than ever.

Looking forward to the BTCC, hope some of you are coming up... be sure to stop by if you're there and say hello.

Hopefully see you all again soon.

Cheers

Hamish
