Looks promissing for weather tomorrow so thinking of taking a look at the sprint series at 3 sisters while Blink have had to cancel the open day.

Anyone tell me what time this starts?
and can you park inside the track grounds?
Anyone else going?
Is it all day? not been to one before and looks good oportunity as local.

Thanks.

Snap!!!!!
see my post! LOL

I believe that most of the morning is practice runs, followed by three timed runs.
There is a charge to get in but you do have the option of leaving your car outside the circuit.
I think I would take mine in though where I'll be able to see it.

I'm sure someone will be along with a more accurate and detailed breakdown for us.

Oh yes just seen your post.

Should be a good opportunity for a ride out for folk around the north as not seen anything else organised and Blink had to cancel their popular intended open day, due commitments.

So to coin a phrase from Paddy off that stupid dating programme, " Let the Westy see see the sun" I know but anybody got one better?

Might have a run down myself weather depending, what time you thinking of going down for, maybe meet for a coffee? :-)

Timed Practice starts about 0930 and is 2 runs followed by as many timed runs as we can fit
B good to chat with the lads in the paddock and see how quick the Sprint cars are

Steve,
Well in that case it would be foolish not to go. Weather depending Gadgetmans going as well so could have a bit of a social. How do we recognise each other do we all wear cravats or red roses or something. Had the same issue with Stoneleigh last year probably walked past loads of people from this site. I guess if you turn up in a Westy it helps a bit though . I've got my electrics stripped down at present for the engine soft cut out light, maybe, dare I say, one gadget too many.

Best get my social head on then.

Bob , must go and dig out a cravat or do I walk around with my steering wheel (c**k)

[carbonizer]

I'll be easy to recognise, i'll be the one walking round looking like he doesn't know what he's doing.

I'll pay to park inside as well so will be the one in the yellow car, shouldn't be many of them then

Think i might remember you without the cravat Bob, i think Pantherman is going in the morning also.

See you there.

Bit of a sidetrack, I'm out n about in the morn weather permitting, if anyone knows of a coffee stop around the area maybe we could meet up and compare cravats?! I'm busy from lunch but happy to stop by n say hi!...

There's a cafe at Three Slappers, used to do cracking bacon butties too if I remember right

I guess I'll be the one with grease and brown sauce dribbled down my front.

[OnliestSmeg]

Sounds mouthwatering!

Looks like it's a bacon butty when I get there then (12-1230).
Red sauce down my front though.

[G3RTH]

Hi guys sounds like a plan I'll be there in the other yellow westie :-) for 9 ish, will hopeful be parking free inside as I used to work there! Will be good to put some faces to names!

Dave if your out and about near standish we could make out way down ;-)

I'm the other side of St.Helens m8 I was hoping to maybe intercept some of the Manchester/Cheshire boys, if I resist the red wine that's shouting me in the kitchen I might get there early for a mooch, cheers though...

[terry everall]

Look for the names on sides of sprint cars and come and say hello

[gadgetman - Dave Eastwood]

I'll be heading up the M6 from Junction 17 - probably aim to be there between 10 -10.30
