The SVRA Vintage & Historic racing association is holding their annual June weekend at the Mid Ohio Sportscar Course the same weekend as Le Mans.  

I think the bloke we were camped next to at Sebring runs in that, and was champ last year. Phil may be able to confirm...

Hi Smokie, Yes that would be "What's his name' from Mississauga in his Porsche although I think he said the year before last. And Fax .. sell another soul and come to France.

Hi Phil & Smokie
Would love to go to the Sarthe in June but I have to get a hernia fixed torward the end of June and that's going to eat a week a my vacation time right there. As you can imagine I'm really looking forward to this.  Just gonna have to settle for the USGP and a couple of trips to Mid Ohio.

Isn't there a surgeon on this forum?? (Sav??)

You could come to Le Mans and get the Hernia op done there. We could set up a Gazebo on Maison Blanche a bit like a field hospital from M*A*S*H. That way you can claim for the cost of your whole trip on your medical insurance!!  ;D

I most confess that I find the prospect of my guts being split open by a bunch of guys knocking back bottles of Stella a bit unsettling.  I can see it now...Anesthetic? we don't need no stinking anesthesia, just give him some more Grimburgen.  I steak knife and a staple gun and we're ready to cut.  Yeesh!

But what music would we have on the sound system during the op?
'The first cut is the deepest'?
Good to see you back Fax.

Fax, get real. We can truss you up with ducktape to stop you bursting and then operate after the football on sunday. You won't feel a thing.

Then in order to see that we all get a bit, I would suggest grating it raw over a tossed salad, just like the finest white truffle which the hernia will no doubt resemble.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

That's settled then, free trip to Le Mans for Fax courtesy of his health insurance company, no need for anaesthetic (apart from Stella/Grmbergen), sterilise the steak knives in alcahol (if we have any left) then a quick op after the footie followed by a CA feast.  ;D ;D

As it's the Rickmeister's 40th birthday perhpas we should let him have the first cut?  ;D

Fax I have spent the last fifteen years being told I have a more than passing resemblence to Sir Antony Hopkins.  (or Sir Hopkins as some Americans apparently insist on calling him).

I intend to eat your hernia with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Ffff Ffff FFfff Ffff!!!

No, that would be Bon Appetit or not ?
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.
