sl114 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Here it is then, the thread to arrange where we will all be meeting up and when. Personally like Val suggested i think we should all aim to get there at 0830. So i suggest meeting time is 0815 on the dot ready to leave the meeting point and get to silverstone for 0830. Im not sure on the area, but are most people coming from the M1? If so, we can meet at the services at J15a and all convoy down from there?
Chris`I Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I'll be coming from doon soouth, so A34 then A43 into the circuit. Anyone know of a big layby or anything near the circuit? I dont mind driving past it a little bit, turning around and waiting for the cavalry
sl114 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 Thats what im trying to find out. There is a petrol station on the A34, but no way all of us will get in there
sl114 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 Right, 0800 Northampton Services J15a off M1 SOUTHBOUND! Leaving no later than 0815 to get to Silverstone for 0830. This will be for all M1 travelling people
Chris`I Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I guess I will get to the Silverstone turn off from the A43 before you guys and just wait for you to turn up! I'll be the loaner in the 53 GM
Chris`I Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 From the A34 (Oxford direction) then A43. Basically opposite direction to you lot from the M1.
Removed Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 the obligatory briefing for the 3pm track session (which I'm doing) is at..... 9am so can't risk to be late to that.
steve_b Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Chris I can meet up as coming from Oxford. Can meet at service station just off M40 or the pub car park on the south side of the A43, it s just after the camera. All other remember that there is 2 forward facing camera's from the M1 direction and one from the M40 direction. PM me if you want my mobile number. From the A34 (Oxford direction) then A43. Basically opposite direction to you lot from the M1.
Sarnie Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Its gonna be touch and go whether I can get up at 7am on Sunday after a party on Saturday night
Removed Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 if you are not doing any track time you don't need to be there as early as us
sl114 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 Is there anyone else who will be meeting at M1 J15a services or shall i just meet Val on the way down and meet you all there? I want to get in nice and early to take a load of pics
Sarnie Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 if you are not doing any track time you don't need to be there as early as us So what time do I need to be there if I ain't doing track time?
sl114 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 if you are not doing any track time you don't need to be there as early as us So what time do I need to be there if I ain't doing track time? I think there is no movement in the paddock from 10am onwards due to EDC practice laps or time attack practice, but Steve will confirm that. Anyone know?
Removed Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 if you are not doing any track time you don't need to be there as early as us So what time do I need to be there if I ain't doing track time? the briefing for the parade lap is at 11am, but I would strongly advise you to be there earlier, tbh. The stand is going to be VERY busy with 180+ Zeds
dunker Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I believe there are a few of us staying at the Holiday Inn on the M1 just outside Northampton, but need to be there for an 8.30 am track time brief, so may have to go ahead...
Chesterfield Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Yup I cant bear getting up at the ungodly hour I would need to in order to make it for that time if I were setting off from here - so you'll find me having a few beers at the Holiday Inn on Saturday night.
dunker Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 i was thinking off heading to Sixfields for a bite to eat, then the other half reminded me she wanted to watch..."Any dream will do!".... So will have to convince her we need to get out a bit more...
Jacko Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 if you are not doing any track time you don't need to be there as early as us So what time do I need to be there if I ain't doing track time? Sure it says on the paperwork somewhere that for the parade, they want all that are getting special parking in by 09:30am...... will have to look later!

Is it worth all meeting at the holiday inn then? Where abouts is it?

PM if you want my mobile number (planning on getting there 8.30ish)

Is it worth all meeting at the holiday inn then? Where abouts is it? Might be easier for you M1ers...... there are a few already staying there! Could just meet in car park early doors and convoy down? http://www.laterooms.com/en/p1301/pv9995893/hotel-directions/83685_holiday-inn-northampton-west-m1-junc-16-northampton.aspx Can either then just go down A5 to A43 or M1/A43!

sl114 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 I thinks thats the best idea then. What time are you guys heading from there?
