Just back from a couple of days working in York

Got the finals through with the entry list. No Mr. Blackmore but he may put in a late appearance. There's less than 50 listed.

Don't have the car back yet, still being mapped. Got a PM earlier today to say the clutch hose had split. Good job it happened today & not Sunday.

As for 'not knowing which car to choose.' Git

On the plus side that means lots of runs then if there are only 50!

Time to test out a few things!!

Don't know what 0.1mm looks like in rain terms but it equates to 0.004" or 4 thou. 15mph wind should help dry the track.

Looking through the entries there's everything in that 50 even Ferraris

3 days to go

See you Guys around lunchtime!

I would love to be 'doing' rather than spectating but it will be great to see you lot getting started for 2008 :thumb:

You may need a pass Stu. How did you manage to get in last time? Also, the entrance to the paddock is via the main gate now as the location is different. Be good to see you there.

Good work Stu, give one of us a bell when you arrive and we can pop out with a pass.

How did I manage? Spence sent me a pass and I used 19 stone of charm just to make sure

I'll call someone when I'm coming off the the M11 so it gives us all a few minutes. Thanks very much though...............a very considerate and thoughtful offer chaps :notworthy:

Hmmmm! About 12 stone more than I'd argue with

Just in case, as they can get funny about it. Don't turn right into the main gate, go to the next roundabout (only a hundred yards or so) and come back for a left turn.
