LMES Donington
« on: April 19, 2006, 03:43:32 pm »
Apart from the omnipresent Drinking For Holland team is anyone else planning a trip to the LMES race at Donington on August bank holiday weekend (26th & 27th)?
Tres Hombres are having a "Lads & Dads" weekend taking our nippers along, some of them for their first taste of motor racing action. Club Arnagers in the making all of them!
We'll be there with the blue gazebo and barbecue on the saturday night so anyone wanting to join us will be most welcome.
Usual rules apply - beer!

Steve

That wouldn't be the Donington Festival, Rob! ;)


Hmm, am I not allowed to reply in this topic now? :-[

We're coming by camper van (is booked), 7 people maximum. For the rest, as far as I'm concerned it's gonna be a Silvertone repeat (except for the weather). Maybe some more beer so we don't have to stroll off to the pub at the end of the race ;D

I'll be there most certainly.

BTW, that's the Midlands airport close to the circuit, isn't it ?

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.
