Well it sounds like Skorpio is the earliest arrival and gets to set up base camp!

Skorpio, Gibberish and his merry band were on this site last year and will be there this year also.
Maybe he can enlighten all you BSJ happy campers.

Now yer talkin call in at mb and watch the turd racing far better than that 24 hr crap.
It starts daily between 1200 and 1300.
If you want to you can sponsor a turd, you even get to have your name put on the rear tail fin, those new to turd racing that is the tapered bit at the end that stops your ass closing with a slap.
Smokie had one last year that was covered in black and white squares and for £1 you could put your name on a square, I believe that the team went by the name of Racing for Turdland.
Come early as space is at a premium, he will if asked do hospitality days but sorry to say he only offers these on E bay.

Hi Brian, I fear the Turd races have limited appeal outside of our select group. Best watched in company with low flyers's i am told

I'm confused now.
If the pointy end is the bow, how come it arrives last?
Will the bogs at MB be RORO this year?

Hi,

On entry to the main BJ site there were 2 distinct fields with two access roads (read tracks). There is a big hedge thing separating the two fields.

As you go in there is a path/trackalmost straight ahead that goes towards the left side of the field, this is quite a large square field quite large, the Danes had a huuuuge structure in here last year, pigs roasted daily etc...

Probably a good 200m up this track the second field starts and the toilets were on this join between fields. The second filed is even bigger with a ditch running down the left hand side (far left along with some small trees. Good to keep away from this! Standpipes were sort of near there too.

On the right handside of the field there is a hedge and more trees and bank then the TRACK! This side looked to be quite popular (more so in the first field as there seemed to be shade).

On the whole, much of a muchness.. Seemed a good bunch and loads o brits too :-)

Hi Simon,
Am I correct in thinking the TRACK would be the approach to Porsche Curves? Is it a good spot to watch from? or are they just wizzing by? I like to watch from the spectator hump at Porsche Curves but always looking for other viewpoints.

Phil. Yes it is the approach to, and the Porche Curves themselves. It's true that the campsite runs almost right up to the track, but the track is elevated some 15 feet above the level of the camp site. Consequently you can't really see anything from the site, just the occasional sight of the top of something whizzing by.

Hi,

Yes it is approach to Porche Curves but as already said it is 15ft up a bank.

You **can** actually get up this bank for a little night time viewing / filming but the CRS wern't too happy. Told us to go around the other side - gesturing to the Press enclosure the other side of track.

We went in there and were able to stand by the barrier some 10ft from track and got some good video from there. My friend waived his PADDI diving card as ID :-))

It's not bad viewing from the enclosures there.. Does anyone know where the access road running down the side of BSJ camping goes?? seems to go into the wood but does this end up near track?

Okay then, we are looking to be second field, RHS. As I said, should be there by Wednesday sometime, 10 bike engined kit cars and a motorhome... gone posh this year.
