Between the SMRC website, the championship's own website, Kirkistown's website and the googlesphere at large I can't find a single word about the first round of the minis anywhere other than an in-car video by Chris Knox!
How did it go, grid numbers etc?

The results are on Mylaps.com, and below... Good weekend, fast circuit, good facilities (an upstairs viewing area overnearly the whole track with a bar!). Very windy but dry apart from the final test on Friday. 8 cars appeared, out of 19 registered for the championship Qually was Covey, Thirwall, Dryden, Knox, Gronkowski, Rowan, Pearson, Sleigh Race 1: Thirwall, Knox, Dryden (FL), Covey, Gronkowski, Sleigh, Pearson, Rowan Grid was fully reversed for race 2 as there were so few cars. Race 2: Knox, Thirwall (FL), Covey, Rowan, Sleigh, Dryden, Gronkowski, Pearson (Knox from 7th to 1st before the end of the 1st lap  ) I have some video from the races, if I can figure out how to edit it and post it on Youtube I will. At the moment I'm too busy trying to build a car. Baz |

Surely it's pink because of the Cancer Charity???
A very worthy cause as my ex wife suffered from breast cancer and my father in law died of prostate cancer...
Well done, Barry... we'll be at the Motorfair to get a hurl round the track !!

It's pink for fun, mostly. TCT's colours are blue but it could make a nice contrast - decals yet to be finalised. In short I got involved as I was inspired by the fund raising efforts of a friend in the Morgan car club.
See you in April.

Loved Chris's in-car stuff. The way he backed it into the chicane was fantastic. Not sure how easy it would be to do it in an XR2 though - the minis look like they're a tad more controllable when the back steps out. |

Watched the Motors coverage last night, looked like some good racing out there!  Also made me realise just how long it is since the last race at Knockhill; roll on the 26th |
