Powertour at Silverstone

[Carrie]

We've said goodbye to the BTCC for this year, but we've still got one round of the Powertour left at Silverstone on 8th October. The question is, who's going to be there?

[WoodyTJ]

Me Me Me Me Me Me Me

And hopefully new teeshirt!

:beerface:

[Craig]

You bet ya! Lorny ?

[Lorna]

I will be there. Money is a serious struggle at the mo and will be for a couple of months at the very least but can't miss Powertour.

[Craig]

And is your flat available for use as the local B&B again ? I'll bring the Redbull...

[Lorna]

Ask me again next week, Craig. After having to pick trodden in chocolate out of the carpet and wash a sticky waste bin out because empty beer bottles and red bull cans had been put in there instead of the kitchen bin doesn't give me much enthusiasm at the mo. Also, has anyone seen my CD with some software on there? Has anyone borrowed it?

[WoodyTJ]

Not me!

[Carrie]

It's a fiver cheaper to get tickets in advance, so are we going to do that? Or just be disorganised like usual

[Lorna]

I really mean, did anyone 'borrow' it. I remember having the conversation with someone when I was drunk on one of the 10 10ths nights but can't remember who. I need to lend it out. Don't worry if you haven't, I'm sure it will turn up.

Woody? Can you do the honours for me for Powertour ticket? I'll email you fellow AHFZ model

[Invader]

Have you tried looking in the electric drinks holder thingy for your disc?

[Les]

Well Norwich City have done the decent thing and postponed their socalled footie match therefore Kev & I are going to participate in out first ever Powertour meeting.

So the important things now - how much is it, what time does it all start and where do we meet or do I switch on the mobile as per usual?

Also we have no idea what we will be watching...... who is the current flavour of the month? What's good & what isn't?

[Lorna]

Les,

This should tell you everything you need to know.

Redshoes Racing covers the National Saloons so that should get you up to speed.

[Carrie]

Tickets are 12 quid in advance, 17 on the day.
As long as you know Tobia Masini is the resident arse of the NSC and likes making a habit of knocking the Pugs off track, you should be okay
Racing usually starts about 12 - 12:30 ish, pitlane walkabout is earlier than that.

[Les]

Thanks for the info.

Hope to see you all there.

I was getting a week ahead of myself here and thinking it was this weekend we'd all be at Silverstone and it's not it's next. What to do with this weekend, that's the big question - I'm bored already

[Craig]

I'm definately gonna be there - and i'm probably more upset that the NSC is being disbanded than I was at the end of Super Touring - so I can't miss that.

I will also be going with Carrie on the Saturday too as we've also been informed today that all Saturdays which we were due to work this year have been cancelled due to lack of work

[Carrie]

Oh boy, what have I let myself in for here

Well, there's always Aston Martin Club racing at Donington on Sunday...


On topic, I think I'll give the Powertour one last visit this year, so see you there with a bit of luck!

[Lorna]

Don't worry, Carrie. I intend being there Saturday as well! I will save you!

Thanks Lorna, at least I can relax now with the thought that there will be one other sane person at Silverstone on the Saturday So, me, Lorna, Invader and Craig are going to qualifying, anyone else planning on joining us?

[Lorna]

I do believe we have F1 at some unearthly hour on Sunday morning? That means I will be like a zombie on Sunday as it's Champagne brekkies round my mate's house in MK.
