Easter Weekend!
You can't beat an Bank Holiday weekend for lots of racing - probably every circuit in the UK has a race meeting of some description, if not every, plus around the world there's loads!
We already know about Classic Racing in the South East, what else is going on, and where is everyone? I should be out at Snetterton for 750MC - first races of the season for the Vees and Stock Hatches, so should be busy! |

Must be the worst weekend since before WW2! No round of any major series or International race.

It's a bit extreme but I can only presume that they've moved the circuit in an attempt to try and avoid another noise order. Last edited by neil_davidson2; 10 Mar 2005 at 13:40. |

I think he meant "South West"! As Easter weekends go it is actually very quiet...

Yes, it is actually quieter than normal - probably due to falling earlier in the year than normal, but I think a lot of it is seeming quieter than it is due to Rob's point about there being no 'big' meetings on. Not sure how a lack of big meetings makes it such a 'bad' weekend though. Different for sure - but not necessarily bad. May encourage people who normally find a big meeting to go to on Bank Holiday end up trying a clubbie meeting for a first time... That's just me wishful thinking though. |

Caravan Thursday night and Good Friday. Oulton testing on Saturday, Caravan again Sunday and the highlight of the Easter weekend, NWFF on Easter Monday. [thinks] I wonder if Natalie will be making me a 'special' Easter cake, with fluffy chicks and Cadbury's Mini Eggs |

I will be joining Asp and Chezza at Snetterton for the 750MC, looking forward to my first weekend of 2005 in orange.
Tuesday I will be heading off to Donny to get my first BTCC fix of the year after that I'm on leave so I'm counting down the days! |

Looks like it's Silverstone on the Saturday for Britcar, Snetterton on Sunday for the 750mc and Monday will either be back at Snetterton or down to Lydden for the Rallycross - I'll decide on Sunday night!
