Ever since they moved the practace day to 2 weeks before the race this has been the 1st Sunday in June with the race 2 weeks later.  This would make next years race on the 20th/21st.

A friend gave me a copy of the MB plan, I rang the ticket office last week to ask a few questions about my tickets. I happened to mention where my piches were and was told that I could not know as the plan was confidential and had not been released yet.  They then told me that my pitch was where I said it was.  What is the point of a plan being confidential??? next week when I look round MB it will be the same as last year, grass cut Tuesday pitches marked out Saturday/ Sunday.

21Hours until train crossing.

36 to go.  Why have a short break when it can be streched to 18 days.

I got one of these for Le Mans last year, it was 8m X 4m and took 60 seconds to erect it was great but expensive.  I would say under £100 for a 6m X 3m is fantastic value.

We spent 3 days hammering the roof back up and fitting plastic screen, then drove it home, the only real problem was driving on the wrong side of the road with no mirrors.

A bloke that works for me was going to have it as his company vehicle when I got back.  He was not happy.

When we get into the camp P C Pirates Pope the Lawnmower boys and the rest go track side I go the other way and camp by the perimeter fence.  I am always wearing what looks like a cowboy hat (Its an aussi acoobra) the P C Pirates refer to me as Steve with the hat and I watch the race standing on a set of steps on the mound in MB. Assuming you have been on MB some time John Steel of the Lawnmower boys normally introduces me as "That idot who rolled the red pickup truck a few years ago".

After being issued Blue Nord and many phone calls to the ACO we appear to have our allication on MB.  The only confusing thing is we apprantly have been allicated more camping spaces than vehicles so I dont know is there will be diffrent tickets for plots and cars?  They cant organise it with 1 type of ticket let alone 2.

Only 120 days and counting

Hi this is Steve, I am the bloke who has been first into MB last three years.  If you are talking about the Luton boys with the truck then I have heard they are going to BSJ.
