It was hot, burnt my head. (Mental note: Wear cap this year...)


Im hoping to get some form of engine built up and put back in by then.
If not, then out comes the Corolla GTi.

I tried to organise an IMOC stand last year. I called up the organisers, got all the paper work sent to me, got names of who wanted to go. Called them up and they said all stands were taken. I was extremely p*$$ed off. The need all the money up front before they book the stand, unlike other events where you book the space and then you pay on the day. Out of 3 MR2 clubs, none had a space. There were a few things that really annoyed me. The scoobies took up about 80 spaces. And there was a Ford Probe stand cos that share the Mazda engine. Was not amused. I spoke to the organiser and he said he would make it up to us this year. This I must see. If anyone fancies organising this, I have some cotact telephone numbers that might help.

I would offer to organise but my memory is useless and things just wont get done in time.


But would definetly be up for it.




Any takers????

[Mike 'MR2' McHugh]

That sounds good, i notice Owners club are an official atendee club, IMOC needs to get in on the act !!!! Will put my head together with RedMR2 and see what we can come up with.

[Damen]

Up for this I think.. been before and it's a good day out..
Will everyone/anyone be going on the track? I know I will!

[Terry]

Got to get in there an book track time soon, it will sell out!!!!


Im debating goin on the track but my 2 is in bits so I'd have to use the
Corolla. Its in for an MOT friday so hopefully it'll pass.

17 year old car + MOT = Lots of welding probably.

Hi,

I have not been to any track days since I got my mr2 so put me down for coombe.

Dont think I will go on the track though .

Cheers

Right booked up, one entry ticket and one track time..

[Terry]

Corolla got MOT'd today, failed on a hole in the back box and a headlamp aim. Not bad for a 17 year old car.

Ticket and tracktime booked and paid for.

Gunna have to try and get the 2 done tho, the 4AGE in the Corolla just doesnt have the grunt for the straights.


If anyone else is interested, you can buy tickets and track time here:

[Mike 'MR2' McHugh]

Are there many more IMOC'ers interested in going ?

[ChrisActon]

I am booked up too, track session included. Although last track session I had killed my car!!!

Heading up with a mate and his S2000, anyone else from Salisbury way heading up??

[Andy MR2 Bennett]

i was gonna ask same question, i reckon we should get a plot. plus i want a fellow member to take me for a spin in there turbo so i can get an idea of what they go like. any offers.?

I live about 15mins away from the track and if your coming from the north you wil;l drive through my town so we could set up a meet along the way too.

[Mike 'MR2' McHugh]

Andy youve got mail.

[crazylegs]

i`ll be there ,i hope,not sure if i can bring myself to taking this mk1 out on the track though.my last effort was not very pretty! its a good day out and the circuit it fun.

[richie94gts]

I'll definitely be there, it'd be great if someone could organise us a spot as there have been lots of us going the last 2 years but we didn't get a dedicated area.

[craig]

any updates on an IMOC area?

[whitty]

I got my 2 a month ago and have been planning to go to japfest since I got it

so count me in

[Dave Couzens]

What's the latest with this? If i want a cheaper entry ticket am i going to have to buy it off mr2oc? or can imoc club members still get cheaper access?
