Its just over an hour from LFE to Santa Pod. so if we aim to get there for 9.30 (ok with everyone?) I propose the following - join where is most convenient.

7.15 - 7.20 - Mickleover Court Hotel
7.45 - 7.55 Donington Services
8.15-8.30 LFE
9.30 Santa Pod

[MrVert]

Looks like they're starting around 8:30 ar Santa Pod..

[93Jay]

HI guys, I'd like to join you if possible, but unaware where LFE is? I get on J9 on the M6, Would that be somewhere you would pass by?

Thanks

[Craikeybaby]

I'm guessing LFE is Leicester Forrest East services on the M1...

It doesn't look like there is going to be a West Midlands convoy to this one.

[Gavc]

LFE = Leicester Forest East (Southbound)

That would be an early start... I'm sure its not a problem if we get there for 9.30 - is that ok with everyone?

[DJMC]

I'm tempted to come along to my first PHSS and have added myself to the list of attendees.

I live 5 mins from J20 M1 so would need to drive 20 mins north up the M1 to join the convoy, then back down again with you.
Is there a way I can join you at J 20? ...Maybe via mobile - a nod when your passing J21 then I'll dawdle down the M1 until you catch up?

By the way, I seem to recall rules for a convoy of more than 12 cars??? Anyone?

[RossP]

PM me your mobile and I'll text you as we approach the junction

No idea on the 12 car thing. Wouldn't worry about it.

[DJMC]

OK, will do. Thanks. Are you leaving LFE 8.30am on the dot?

Do I just slot in at the rear?

Have emailed you Ross, then got a message from PH which looked like I'd emailed myself? (I hadn't) So I've sent it again to make sure. Have you had it???

I'll be tagging along too (with 10year old son).
Either in the Exige or if the weathers st, the M3.

Lad will be beside himself with the F cars....

Will be at LFE

I could bring my milk float too but it's a BEV so you would all have to wait while I charged it up! I think the i8 is the ideal motor for the strip!

[DJMC]

Must be destiny...

I had a quick look on eBay for crash helmets and found a cheapie where I was going in Brum today. Popped in and bought one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231645615114?euid=6c4642...

Biggest size!

Anyone wants to borrow it (if I'm not using it) it's £1 a run, all donations to the Air Ambulance charity: https://www.theairambulanceservice.org.uk/how-you-...

Not sure I'll get up to 110mph in 1/4 mile, but some of you will.

Now... shall I book the strip or wait and see if it stats dry on Sunday AND they still have tickets? Hmmm...

BTW, if you haven't seen this (I was in the crowd on the day!) here's Sammy Miller's amazing run...

I am but having a bit of a problem with insurance for the day (as its a timed run it is classed as a 'race')....

Anyone used a single track day insurer?
