An overnight accident involving four trucks.

Most importantly, did Gordon & the beer get through??

[Peter Mallett]

Yup he and it is here.

I fear I may not be - other half's not too well.

Was looking forward to catching up with you, Peter, so if I don't make it, Good Luck!

[John Turner]

To all you are there or still on their way, have a great time and good luck to all competitors, especially 10-Tenthers!

[terence]

Errrrr,be prepared to crawl off the E42 at junction 9 [coz the rest of it is closed,unless your coming back from elsewhere,that is]

Anyway,hope Iain is behaving himself,Gordon no doubt is,Mike certainly will be. LoL. Have fun,we did think about calling in yesterday,but got as far as Masta [house for sale right on the kink if anyones interested!] stopped at the Friterie,quick bite to eat,and thought sod it,we are back again next Thursday for
four days [hate that La Source hotel,lol].
Then The Ring for two days,few days off and back to Spa for another three days,life can be a pain at times



PS,dont expect any fireworks/celebration for the 6Hrs 20th year.Alain and Vincent dont do parties.

looks like a gripping end to the race . . . . Like Gordons offered free beer to the winner . . .

Interesting reading the results,no doubt there'll be some comments made about a particular MGB! Ah well,it is a non FIA event.

[john ruston]

Where are results?

[terence]

At RIS Timing John,or go to the Spa 6Hr site.

Great to see Mr Streeter hasn't lost his touch!
Tim and uncle seem to be going well.

[Hope you lot dont leave too much crap on the track.

.....and congratulations to Shaun Lynn/Emanuele Pirro on their second place. A great result for Emanuele at what I think is his first Six Hours.

I see what you mean. Is that "our" Ryan C sharing with Barry S-S?

[Al Weyman]

Cliff is racing TWO cars in Barries race, Mike Bells Porche and his own XJS, should be interesting. Didn't know he was doing six hour as well!

Can you actually race a Porche?

[terence]

Not really,but they can be slept in,and some will even keep you dry when it rains.
Gordon has finished in fine style,lot of cars behind him that shouldn't have been! Best of a 3:09. Cliff finished at the back end no doubt looking after Mike's PORSH.

Perhaps Gordon promised them a beer - he clearly wasn't Larkin' about!

[simon drabble]

Watching it on line it looked a thrilling 6 hour. Feel very sorry for Roger Wills - looking good for a win until 15 minutes to the end.
The qualifying times were very quick, the number of GT cars sub 3 minutes were staggering

[Peter Mallett]

Just final prep for the Masters race at lunchtime today. Good to meet Uncle Eric at last. Loads of folks to mention but well done to Jerry K on his second place in the Barry Race.

We got to 3hrs this years 6hrs and were classified where we started. At least we didn't go backwards!

nothings getting slower, or even looking like hitting a plateau, impressive given the rules still haven't changed

[terence]

How long before it becomes a V8 only race?

Isn't it strange how people are so quick to pick up on a simple typo mistake especially when one of the critics spells it porsh, most odd? Glass house dwellers and stone throwing comes to mind.

Ban the V8's then we can welcome them back into Bernie's series I notice a lot of the regulars that were missing at Donington were at Spa lol.

Deleted, because I seriously cannot be bothered to reply to some people on this forum anymore.
