If you didn't go to Le Mans.....

This should generate a bit of debate

I think you should add another option

We have 2 of our crew missing it this year. Giving them hell of course. Contemplating phoning them at the start letting them hear the first lap roar and hang up. What other cruel sadistic way can we punish them?

[Andy]

There is the sad photo of the beer wall that they were not party too, and lots of photos of the teams birds taken with all the lads that were there.
not to forget the shampoo bar or Brethren Bash or the other 300 alternatives which are a blitz over the weekend.
And whats their excuse for not going that they had better things to do?

Did that last year to one of our guys who was "missing in action" (wife booked the holiday last year.....he says "never again")  Every time we saw him for about three months after the call he just looked at us and said "bast4rds!!"

Did you get the Metro engine??

It's a foregone conclusion.

You know that you have to book this time off. My wife expects me to be there, my friends expect me to be there.

Many of our group don't see each other from one June to the next. You just know that you have to be at Newhaven, on the Thursday before, for a 07.30 sailing.

Like I said, foregone conclusion.

[Steve Pyro]

Mid June is always a busy time for me as I am working at various power station shutdowns.
However, one station is 'considerate' of my LM needs and seems to arrange their shutdown inspection requirements around my time off.

Only missed 1 since '91 and then I was catching all I could on Eurosport etc.. bbq and beer on Friday and Saturday just to keep with tradition. Trouble is as the plan man for the group I still had to make all arrangements for the rest of the group, talk about rubbing it in.

Luckly I was such a miserable bast4rd that the wife now makes sure that I am booked (well I think/hope that's the reason )

Having to miss the Sarthe this year but two weeks before Le Mans I've got the Indianapolis 500, the week after Le Mans comes the USGP at Indy and then the week after that is the Mid-Ohio round of the ALMS...I'll make it just fine thank you.

I'd be most certainly standing at the curcuit (equipped with beer, BBQ fork in hand and all the other essential gear around) to watch the 24 hours of the Nuerburgring. I'm fine too, thank you.

Oh hell,
If I can't go to the Sarthe, might as well take in some racing action somewhere.  The SVRA Vintage & Historic racing association is holding their annual June weekend at the Mid Ohio Sportscar Course the same weekend as Le Mans.  They usually have a nice turnout of Group C and IMSA GTP rocketships for this meeting as well as the older stuff and this year the featured marque is Jaguar.  I'll have to take a Saturday trip up Interstate 71 and see what shows up.  Certainly some Group 44 Kitty's to mix it with the usual horde of 962's.  Hopefully someone will have a satellite dish and TV setup so we can check in on the going's on at Le Mans.

Ring them at 4 in the morning and do the same. You can dial staright into the tannoy where I work from an outside line so a couple of years ago they got about 10 mins worth of cars from arnage corner at 4 in the morning. Took them a couple of mins before the penny dropped.
