2006 help for American newbies

I got a ticket for Lagache last year (thanks to JP for picking it up for me and even delivering to London in person with his "real" boss, Linday) and it was great.  Great view of pits and straight.  Would highly recommend same location if given the opportunity.
Amazing, you are going to have a fabulous time at LeMans.  There are no words to fully explain it.  It's just a happening.

Are you coming over again ?

Hey Robbo,
Looks like I will not be able to make it this time.   Wife says she wants to redo the kitchen which translates to no $$$'s for Le Mans....but I will be watching as much as I can on SpeedTV. 
I'm not planning on Sebring either but I am planning to go to Houston in May for the ALMS and Champ car race.  Hope some of you folks can make it for that.  Should be a pretty good time with several racing events over the long weekend. 
Tip one for me in June though

Short wheelbase I presume, rather than America, GTO or GTLM (personal preference)

I wonder why they picked him and not Olivier Gendebien/Phil Hill or Shelby (back towards name of thread).  Graham Hill must deserve a mention too, not to mention Ickx/Stuck/Ivor Bueb etc

Perhaps they've run out of paying sponsors

Easy to understand ... He was a local driver, probably the best one from the beginning of the race. He made his "fortune" in gravel business, ran mostly private Ferraris he had to buy and were a good friend of David Piper who signed the fore writing of his biography and dedicated my book.

Well I finally got my confirmation that the ACO received my order now all I have to do is wait and see if I got my spot in line in time for tickets?!
