Anyone heading to Doune this weekend?

I'll be going up on the Sunday, taking my Dad - it will be his first visit to the hillclimb, so I *really* hope it's dry!

(great way to spend father's Day too)

Ian, I'll be at the Scottish Motorshow on Saturday, if you're about come along and say Hi as I'm displaying my Maserati MC Stradale in their Pit-Lane Garage Supercar Display. These Supercars are seperate to the Supercars that'll be on track each day. (for more info, see seperate PH Thread for info on the Scottish Motorshow).

If you dont make it along and providing Sunday's dry I'll see you at Doune smile

Hi John, no changed my mind and decided my 16M was a keeper!

I've just got it back after a major 320 hour refurbishment so it's now looking way better than it did when it was new smile

Both days make for a great weekend, especially the June meeting, which incorporates the nationals, so you've got the big V8 single seaters etc

Sat is practice, with Sunday being race day. If you are limited to one day, I'd say go for Sunday.

I'm pretty sure it's a round each day unless things have changed recently.

Yes, you're absolutely right, my apologies - there are indeed practice sessions and championship rounds on both days.

This is what happens when one posts on a phone, half asleep on the train hehe

So I was right in the first place then!

CO2000 had me doubting myself, as I was pretty sure Sat was practise and Sunday was the competition runs but then I looked at last year's results sheets and it looked as though there were competitve runs on Sat as well as practice.

Don't know if I'll make it along now, as my wife has just damaged her shoulder, if I don't say Hi to the rest of the guys and hope you have a great time smile

What an event!!!!! new tarmac + rain + nutters galore = carnage. Never seen so much accidents and we didn't finish until 6.30 on Sunday. But what a great event bring on a dry Sept please.
