I didn't know one of our group (The Dutch one  ) had taken this pic until just now. That's me on the right. I'd just walked over and said hi to this gent at about hour 1 of the Sebring race right around turn 8. I asked him if he was a CA member and he said yes. He said he was French too, but I either don't remember his name or I forgot to ask. (That seemed to be the theme for the weekend).   |

I'd say that was Pieter.

Pieter or his travel mate. They would be the only ones with "sponsor"-shirts.

That looks to be the handiwork of some no-good, drunken louts. I like it. |

We had another close encounter when I passed the YFDS grounds. What's with that Dutch flag?

One of our members is Dutch and brought the flag. Anyone from our group that's visiting from overseas gets their flag flown next to the U.S. Last year it was Norway.

Hi Chop, Excellent site and good beer mountain. I thought the back lighting was an excelent touch however must protest the Tequila bottle on top ... I don't care if it flashes and that you had to drink it all it's just not BEER Bring your banner and flag to France so we can find you  Canada Phill |

I looked for you guys a couple of times.Where were you camped? I bet I walked right by a half a dozen times. We were on the middle road through Green Park, probably 100 yards before the permanent bathroom if you're walking towards the hairpin. Phil - I doubt the banner will make the trip as the pole setup is just too bulky. Not sure that flying an American flag would be the greatest move, either. I've been thinking of buying one of those telescoping flagpoles and having a YFDS flag made. I could fly that along with the City of Chicago flag. At least I'd be semi-undercover to all but the most midwestcentric Americans.  I have to agree about the tequila bottle, but you know how it is - mob rules and all. |

I wouldn't worry about the flag at Le Mans, the campsites are pretty friendly and I can't see it being an issue. Get yourself a telescopic pole at Carrefour when you get there and leave it behind (or give it to me!). Not sure about the technique of the bottle mountain, it's clearly mounted on board and I reckon there's been some use of mastic there?? Not an approved technique  edited to say: Pieter - nice legs!! |

This is the flagpole I'm looking at: http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=149599It should fit in my luggage without a problem. As for beermountaineering technique, everything I've learned, I learned here: http://www.beermountain.com/building_advice.htm Please remember, we're pioneers on this side of the pond, so the learning curve is a steep (and tasty) one. I'll withold comment on Pieter's legs. |

Hi Chop, No issue with an American flag at LM or any other for that matter!
Go to almost any Hypermarket in France and buy an extending fibreglass Roach fishing pole 5 or 6m for about €6 or 7, dont use the last very thin section as it will be too bendy, nice and light for shipping (about 4ft long), ideal.
