The MINI Club of Ireland

After meeting a few of you guys at the trackday in Mondello, I thought I should try and round up some troops for this event. :P

Ally (douzeper) from NI-Minis has organised a trackday in Nutts corner (about 2 hours from dublin) for the 2nd June.

Price is quite reaonsable at £30. The track will be ours for the full day. Any cars are allowed to attend but first preference will of course be given to minis (off all types ) on the day.

Anybody interested? 8)

Sounds like an idea.. .!!

Especially since Im suppose to take my sister to Dublin Airport for the Friday night!!

Where exactly is this Nutts Corner??

£30 for the day?? Sounds like a bargain!

Any more details as to this track day elmo

Nutts Corner is a couple of miles from Antrim and the International Airport.



There's more info on http://www.ni-minis.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1386

It would be a long trek up for some of you but Ally is trying to get camping organised and an on-site bar is a possibility for the evening but not confirmed yet. Sounds like we'll get a fair amount of track time for £30 as well. Cars need to be road legal and taxed so no track cars due to serious noise problems in the past.

I'm going allright but then it is only 4 miles from my house! Still deciding which car to take - depends if I can scrounge a spare set of wheels off my brother as I don't want to ruin a set of runflats (£££££) so might take the Mini instead. Great to have a choice though! :wink:

You'z got a PM Step !

Some pictures of the day - I managed to take 929 pictures today..... 8O

We got all sorts of weather today from sunshine to light rain. Got really slippy after lunch and one or two iffy spins - all good though, no-one needs to call the bodyshop on Monday so we're all happy. Some engine problems for a few cars but everyone should have made it home allright.

I took the MINI in the end myself - 1 proper spin in the wet and more than a few "moments" with the back end getting loose.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Bit of a mixture of track and road cars and a few Non-Minis as well for a bit of variety. The yellow R1-engined Z-Cars conversion was extremely tail-happy in the wet - I think he had the most spins all day!

More later! 8) ol:

More!
