Mallory Park 26th Dec 2007 - Boxing Day Plum Pudding Races

[TonyLees]

Anyone fancy this?
Just imagine Mallory in the snow - a nice change from the rain we had there this year...
Am reliably informed that the "Open Saloon/Sports" races will accept "anything".
See you there.
Cheers, Tony

Tony – 26 Dec is Leicester v Ipswich footy so all those Leicester locals wont be at Mallory but will going to see Ipswich - the team that always wins at home but never wins away.

I remember going to watch a Brands Hatch Boxing Day meting in late 1960s and seeing all the Minis sliding off in the snow – until the meeting was abandoned.

Sorry – don’t think I’ll make it to Leicester for either mega event. Have fun.

I don't do races where they accept anything. Least of all your old bangers!

Actually, this is a brilliant idea to get some Morgans out.

Unfortunately I can't be there. The Jersey Old Motor Club have a huge car run on Boxing Day. Some 100 cars from 1904 to 1950 doing 50 miles round the Island. We will be in the three wheeler.

Best wishes, Keith.

[TonyLees]

Now that sounds like a *lot* of fun (no not the footy!).
Keith, can you think of a good way to persuade Jen to go to Jersey instead of Mallory?
only kidding.
Cheers, Tony

Bugger - do fancy this - though bouth cars in bits and bit busy that day - getting rid of both sets of parents (staying over)!

Maybe plan for it in 2008....

Laguna Seca?,its a bit like Mallory with hills!

[TonyLees]

For the record, you all missed a great day!
Weather was fab, crowd was huge (I kid you not).
Morgan did well against strong competition eg funny flat things with wings - sports prototypes and a moggie minor.
Great fun and a good way to clear out the cobwebs. See you next year
Cheers, Tony

[Jon Ellison]

Hope so.

[Chris Acklam]

Morgan did well against strong competition

Are the results up on the web Tony?

[Jon Ellison]

Not on MST http://www.msttiming.com/diary.asp?year ... owse+Diary

[TonyLees]

No results found anywhere (mind you there was no timing anyway...) it was all very laid back - we were each given a christmas cracker at the driver's briefing, and told to wear the hat throughout!
when I say busy, it took Jen 45 minutes to get into the circuit; it was a bernie ecclestone moment!
Cheers for 2008, Tony

[Chris Acklam]

Sounds like fun Slavica
