Alan Bowler Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've given up the rollercoaster emotional ride of BBC weather forecasting. Don't look at it - they are just teasing you with random weather icons. The seaweed I've got dangling by the shed says its gonna be a scorcher, and anyone with soft Kumhos will wear them out on the practice runs.

FlymoFraser Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Alan Given the time constraints we might need to have a jog of the course rather than a walk. Following the jog might be the best time to do the weigh in?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bl0498 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi there Just to clear up a few items about MIRA: - Yes there are no convoy runs - there wern't last year either!!! You will need to walk the course. Realistically the only bit you possibly need to walk is from where the speed trap is on the straight theough the right/left hander. - Someone mentioned practise starts at 10am. Well my copy of the Final instructions says 9.30am - The seemingly overdone comments on no camera etc are because Saturday is a working day at MIRA. When I was there a couple of weeks ago there were several interesting vehicles going around the hi speed circuits. - You will find there is now a red traffic light as well as a flag at the marshals post by the Control tower which is deliberately positioned to be in the drivers line of sight. There will probably be something about this when you sign on. - For those of you who have not been to MIRA before do try to be there at 8am. All the cars are held by the main gate and allowed through as a convoy. Similarly there will be controls on exit from MIRA from the paddock area - If Alan Richards is doing the catering his bacon and brie baguettes are superb!!! Best Regards, Brian (CofC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Alan It wasn't walking the course that was the problem. The problem was the advice you got. 😬 Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Bowler Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Will that be the "Neat Neat Neat" way, or the "Smash it up" way? AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
