Not sure if its the same place your on about..

But if you go up the A46 towards leics theres that big round about and im sure its got a pub there called The Hobby Horse or some thing.

Would this be worth thinking about?

Only thing is with Birmingham wheels is that its quite expensive and theres always the chance of rain which will make racing shit seen as they don't change over to wet tyres.

There is also.. www.fullthrottleraceway.co.uk where I used to work.... if you wait until Jan they do a special offer where they charge you the same amount for an endurance but add on an extra 30mins to the 2 hours...

But if we go full throttle I would require a Ł10 deposit from everybody...

Heres one for the guy that works at the hinckley island hotel why dont you ask your boss if we could borrow the top car park round the back (out of site and all that) for afew hours just to see how many people turn up then organise a proper meet up from there in person instead of people saying "im up for it " and not showing

why dont you all just turn up park in the car park then come into the triumph bar and start asking why there is a motorbike on the wall

there is no boss in to speak to mate, they dont work sundays

you dont have to be residents to be there and every 1 can sit in the bar and sort out a meet, warn you now tho beer is expensive (3.10 cheapest pint, 4.10 most)

Why dont you ask one of them when there in then ? Just make out that its not going to loads of people wheel spinning round the car park and that every one will be going into the bar for drinks and food (we dont have to once were there) so as to make it sound like the profits will be up as a result of us being there besides when ever ive drive past there the place looks empty.
Also dont tell him thats where we want to meet all the time its just to test the water really and see who's up for it and try and decide on a proper meeting place.

directions get on the m69 from coventry... when you get to the A5 junction get off, take the 4th exit (A5 south) and its on the left about 30 seconds up the road, when your there walk into reception you will see a bar on your right opposite that is the bar where i should be working come say hello, and if nobodys looking get a free coke then hopefully we can all go down the bull for the central meet (even tho i should be working )
