I remember when they tore down the old pit complex at Monza and replaced it with a similarly hideous structure, Jenks described it as an act of "pre-meditated vandalism".

JS,
The Indiana & Ohio (Eldora's in Rossberg, OH) highbanks were, and still are fearsome places.
I was at Winchester in July of '94 when Robbie Stanley checked out, again in a Gus & Dick Hoffman car.

Some good points raised regarding the Le Mans circuit.

Having read them all, I can't for the life of me think why I am bothering to go this year.

1. The tracks sh**t now.
2. You can't see any cars.
3. It will be either be too bloody hot or a f**cking monsoon will hit.
4. The French don't like us anyway and piss in all the beer before selling it.
5. The works Audi team are back.............with a desiel.
6. I hate camping.

Think i will stay at home and mow the lawn instead.

Nordic ...... go to Sebring instead.

You know it makes sense.

You're right. But facilities have improved immeasurably over the years. Don't forget years ago, there were several aspects of Le Mans that were sh*t in other ways:

1. No toilets.
2. The toilets bloody stunk to high heaven and constituted a serious health risk.
3. No toilet paper.
4. Noel Edmonds (one year).
5. A horrible funfair with nasty strippers, a wall of death and a boxing booth.
6. Tom Walkinshaw.
7. Erm...?

Not exactly a bed of roses was it.

Thanks to Mr Zarse I have changed my mind. The point about the wonderful loos has swung it.

As for Sebring, it does make sense and I will make the trip one year before it goes the same way as Le Mans or worse like Riverside.

I think Sebring is pretty safe Nordic.  For years during the early seventies they kept saying each year would be the last one, but now that its fully privately owned and a fulltime racing circuit, its secure.  Besides what the hell else would you do with a big flat patch of scrub land in the middle of nowhere Florida? Put an amusement park there

Don't tempt fate!  Would you want to visit SebringWorld and take a ride on the ALMS Experience?

Oh I'm very familiar with Eldora, I'm a huge WoO fan. I'd been going to Knoxville from 98-'04 but missed last year since I've been away at school grrr. Hope to make it back this year!

I'm not so much of a Outlaws fan, a little more Old School, sprinters shouldn't have wings.
