Rick, as I mentioned before, we have room in the Putley Creach Land Yacht going down to Sebring.

However, we're stopping over on Wednesday night in a hotel in Orlando and hopefully having a few sherberts with Mr Harper.

That sounds like a damn fine plan, count me in if you please! I'll even bring the Silk Cut Jaguar overalls again!

This time in four weeks...............

Hi Guys and Doris

I thought I would get this going again as there are only 27 days and 9 hours to go (american time)

Is anyone going to get pit box tickets and other than the $10 saving is there any need to pre-order/pay tickets.

I see on last years thread that beer is available at the circuit, does this mean there is no need to buy at the supermarket, if they sell it, or is it as in France a lot cheaper?

What's the price for tent and bag in Walmart?

You need to bring your beer/food in with you.[MUCH cheaper].

Small tent and 1/sleeping bag.[$50.00]
[I am sure some US CA members can help you out with
some loaner stuff]

If not I will start searching garage sales.

Thanks Randy

I will see what my small tent weighs but $50 is not out of the way. As far as US CA members kit is concerned I am sure I read that Pidge's tents are wetter in than out when it rains!!

Thanks for the grub tip

I thought of pre ordering but there is a $8 handling fee which means that after phoning up to book, I may as well just pay when I get there !

I am taking my 2 man tent as it weighs about 4.3 kgs along with my sleeping bag all in a large holdall and a small suitcase for the other things. Will buy a $3 pillow at Walmart when I get there.

Will you be collapsing on your OWN tent this year then Chris ?

Hi Martini,
Right first time no need to book in advance as only a$10 saving which as Chris points out is used up by the $8 fee. Just drive up to the gate and buy a 4 day pass and a parking ticket for the car. Reserved camping is for motorhomes, tents just use the grass. even the Harpers have givenup on teh box tickets as they are grossly overpriced. Paddock is open to 4 day ticket holders if not everybody. you will need Beer and a personal cooler. get ice at the same time as it is cheaper. Pidges Tents are better than any cheapy you would pick up at WalMart. If it should rain like 2 years ago you will be lucky to escape with your life

I'll thow an extra pillow in the car.
Can hardly wait

Last year we almost drowned. Pidge's tent was a swimming pool and Chris did collapse his tent. Wish I were coming down and could bring some gear for you "out of towners".
Anyway, the Walmart advice is good for cost of stuff. What we ought to do is just start a EuroAmercian co-op where we store your tents and gear for your trips over here and you store our stuff for our trips over there. Keep it simple and minimal. Easier to bring in the car than pack it for plane travel. Anyway, just a thought.

Thanks Randy, you truly are amazing.

I will pay you for it then donate it to the Euro American Co-op that Johevans3 suggested. What do you think? Unless of course you have another use for it.

John, it wasn`t Pidge`s tent that was flooded, it was actually Les`s tent that was afloat. That was only cause Les did not assemble it properly remember he left the top piece off the roof? As for Pidges tents leaking, with the exception of Les, I heard no complaints...but come to think of it why did Pidge sleep in his car

And your right, Chris did collapse his tent but to be fair it was only because he could not find the entrance to it, I think it was too much JD or was it Southern Comfort Chris?

Something that's always worked for me when flyaway camping:

Take the storage sack for your sleeping bag and stuff it with clothes. Stuff that inside a t-shirt and voila - pillow.

Here's the ENTRY LIST for the historics in case anyone's interested.
