Simmon. Is it a Car or Bike meeting?
CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Sorry Simon and any others who are thinking of going to Mallory Park. I've just 'phoned Mallory Park. Tel. No. 01507 343248 and spoke to Mick. Assistant Circuit Manager and he has confirmed my earlier post that Sun. 10/03/2013 is only a track day and NOT a race day. Feel free to 'phone him as I told him he may get a few calls after this post. Then please come back and comment.
CHEERS Vic.

Vic, you phoned Cadwell Park, near Louth, not Mallory!

I concur that there's a track day at Cadwell, but Mallory is most definitely a race meeting...

For the sake of absolute clarification, herewith a snippet from the Mallory Park website:

Buildbase EMRA Championship
Sunday, 10 March 2013, 08:00 - 17:00

Motorcycle racing at its very best with the EMRA Buildbase Championship. With pace close to lap record or faster, this is one of the best club championships in the UK and one for specialist Mallory Park racers. Tickets £13 on the gate or £11 in advance.


The year's first Cadwell bike meeting is on March 23-24... and that is also recommended.

To one and all. Ignore my last post. I was having a senior moment. I must admit I got the 2 tracks mixed up. Simon has sent me a PM sorting me out. CHEERS Vic. SO

Well, how about a day of motorsport? What finer gift could there be?

The forcast is WET WET WET. and I don't mean the group. The farm meet has been postponed due to lack of support due I think to illness.
I was looking forward to the total weekend but it looks like it's off.
Ah well there'll be other times we can all meet up.
CHEERS Vic.

Present Sunday forecast for Mallory is overcast, with a 20 per cent chance of rain - that's according to the Met Office website. The maximum temperature is a promising 1degC.

I will be there, come what may, and aim to arrive in time for one of the rightfully lauded morning feasts. I'll be the one with thick padded jacket, veggie breakfast, pint of tea, two K-5 bodies, stout boots and a transparent rain cover...

I'm going to wait for a better day before making a 7 hour round trip.

Besides ... I have to work until 2pm on Sunday now

I'll be there come what may too Simon. My appearance will be dictated by the weather, but will probably be identified as the one with the bulging Lowepro backpack getting in the way at the breakfast queue
