I think that merely highlights the fact that some of us like to make a good weekend of it and enjoy the social side as well.

Really looking forward to Spa, both the night race and the post race knees up!

and I agree, it better not rain, although I've had some recent practice!

Back to 2013, yesterday I sent a race entry off! I can confirm, Gordon and Joe, that Cliff Ryan and myself will be joining you at Spa for the Touring Car races in May.

David, if had the time and money to continually prepare them and race them every weekend I would! I'm very privileged to have been asked to share someone else's car and will get to race at 3 European circuits have not been to before. In between will be working on projects and re-prep ready for 2014.....

Of course, Al, you have never been guilty of off topic posting...

But if it helps- Last piece of my 2013 jigsaw finally inserted- All booked for Sebring Vintage Meeting Feb28th to March 3rd, sharing with young Cliff in his black beauty of a Mustang. I'm in charge of the autoglym, tyre changing and fuelling, of which it seems there will be quite a lot......
