Shudder at the thought. Could take a guy out the game for almost 10 years depending on the levels of understanding from wife/child.

Someone should have told my parents this at some point in September '96. My sister's birthday is June 11th. I mean that's just plain inconsiderate...

Okay, you can tell it's my day off.

Here is the 10tenths heat map to just make users think a bit. Red is race weekend, orange is Wed/Thu/Fri. If your trip has to include scrutineering then you need to be much more careful. It also shows just what an anomaly we had to put up with this year.

This graph is one of the most important graphs I have ever seen on this forum.

You say my parents tried hard, well they actually cocked it up twice. My due date was the 14th of June.

TimRTC should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
On the plus side though, it would give the prospective father the best chance for getting to name his child after a Le Mans winner.

Having to be very careful at present. The wife is very keen on making moves to start the baby #2 process. No Sex September is bloody tricky when her birthday was yesterday!

I have tried to explain the No Sex September scenario, but apparently I am rather insensitive. Frankly I think that's the wrong way around...

you think yourselves lucky. for the unfortunate lady carrying any potential spawn, you don't really want to be at le mans in the latter stages of pregnancy, especially with the whole khazi frequent flier thing. so if anyone has a lady wife who likes le mans, don't be surprised if she has a month long headache in october as well

The dutch racing twins Tim Alfa Coronel and Tom Romeo Coronel spring to mind, although only Tom Romeo has raced at Le Mans.
