Anyone scribbled this in the diary?

I'm hoping to make a return trip this year mate.

Hi....yes, ferry booked. Looking forward to it, never been to this one before - looks like a great event. Will be popping down to the ring for a few days after.

Should be there Albert,be good to meet up for a beer.Be fairly straight forward this year,only living an hour away in the Eifel.http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/4.gif

I've booked the B&B. For two, as my youngest daughter will be joining me: she's a true petrolhead.

John: let's make this a proper meet up and check out all the cars. Last year was dinner and drinks - which was a laugh allright - and I'm looking fwd to catch up!

Terry: are you with a team?

Sat & Sun for me this year.

We'll be there with the Escort doing Barry's race as usual.

Not racing [as yet] Albert,but will be close enough and have a years circuit pass so be silly not to use it.

Wow!

[sparkey]

Wow indeed!

Great video. I went to the Spa Classic last month which was great despite crap weather. Would love to do the 6 hours again, but maybe not this year. (Then again - maybe!)

Hats off to the driver of that little Marcos, cocking a firm snoop at the big boys and working bloody hard at it too; top man!

[dinkel]

Richard is a capable driver: and very determined!

Quite a pack of GT40 cars: 11, and with all the super stars

The grid is stuffed with yum:
5 mighty Falcons, one with the Frankel bros and Chris Harris
14 Mustangs (8 350GTs)
15 E-types (4 low weights)
4 Marcos 1800 GT, one with Rich Evans
17 MGBs, I love them to bits. Often top 20 material.
6 AC Cobras
5 TVRs
2 Aston DB4s
3 Corvettes
5 Big Healeys

The odd balls:
Peerless GT
Campagne-Kalff-Lammers Grand Sport
Alfa TZ1 (Newall)
250GT SWB
901 Porsche, driven by Jay Kay and P-connaisseur Maxted-Page
GTS 904/6 Porsche, drool on

See you there.

Yes mate for sure. It all seemed to pass by far too quickly last year !

[dinkel]

LOL.

[terenceb]

Anyone in the area on 22nd July? BIG RSR Trackday on.Worth a look in if your close enough,its a "Supercar" event.

Thanks chaps. I never did get away from the Corvette even though his tyres went off

Ironically we were actually slower than last year - we changed the engine set up to give ourselves more punch out of the corners but the engine just signed off early so we lost about 5-6mph up the Kemmel straight and coming back from Stavelot, which counts for a lot at Spa. Back to the old set up for the 6 Hours in September methinks

Any recommendations for somewhere budget but clean to stay my son and I.
Thanks
