Funny... I seem to have several similar photos too LOL

If you remember Craig, the ladies had paused only a few yards away from where the Ten Tenths meeting was just breaking up last year.... A happy coincidence

I'll be in Europe for the race!

My plane leaves May 26th for A-Dam and I'll be in Europe until June 19th...

I'll be taping the race via MS Media Center and I have PLENTY of HD space!

But that's only 17 hours of coverage.

I would like to record to my laptop via Motors TV who will show the event in its entirety and in a language I can understand! lol

I would also like to go down to the track, just how involved is that and are any of you fellas willing to give a brotha a ride with your party or stay in your camp or hang out with you in the stands?

Let me know, you can PM me through this site.

Le Mans Live for the first time!

Hey DJ,you might be able to hich a ride with us to LM.
We live in Holland in the area of Utrecht(20 miles from A'dam).
You'd ofcourse have to chip in for the campingticket and gasoline costs,but as seen earlier in this thread,one never needs to buy GA tickets in advance.
Only getting a grandstandticket at this late date would be a challenge.
As far as I know,these tickets are all sold out at the ACO itself. You should try your luck at E-bay(preferably E-bay England).

Okay and thanks!

Great, I'll be running around Europe and I'll be mostly in Scandinavia and maybe Eastern Europe until its time to go down to the track.

I have no problem chipping in for camp ground fees or fuel.

Send me some details via PM

I'll see if I can track down a Grand Stand Ticket.

Is there a secret password we should mention? Just to be on the safe side. We could end up in a group of nascar fans.

I hope to make it that early. Let's see.

It does look like a group of seasoned "Le Manners"!!! The trophies up front, and not the hats and photo equipment,gave it away.

Can not wait to get to Le Mans!

Gilles lives! should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I normally sit on the concrete terracing opposite the pits agonisingly waiting for the start of the race, telling myself that there will be some entertainment any minute now, but it always seems to drag. So this year I will try and tear myself away from my party, the beer/red wine/cheese/bread and come a pay a visit. I will bring my 11 year old son over, it will be his first start of the 24 hrs, as I have only taken him to the finish in the past.
It will be nice to say hello to you all.

Very well remembered, Ayse! M3Desmo is Greg's handle on Tenths (although he hasn't posted in a very long while). South African as it happens. First timer, so I spent the night with him (can I say that? ) and introduced him to Arnage corner at about 03:30 where we met up with PascaLM, then on to Mulsanne for sunrise. Last I heard he was buying himself an Ultima!

The two I didn't know were Dominique and (I feel somewhat embarassed to have to admit this) Craig (sorry Craig ).

I certainly remember Greg - IIRC he left his plans very late indeed (despite travelling such a distance) and I thought he was being pretty optimistic about getting it all sorted in time - but he was right and I was wrong!
