GTs @ Rockingham on 12th & 13th August

Seeing as the Mid Engined race at Pembrey is off next weekend, why don’t we all have a get together to watch the GTs at Rockingham?

Russ & myself are definately going, for both Saturday & Sunday.

Sounds like an excellent idea Pesk.

Hope you’ve now got “Rockingham” in your diary for next weekend, young Gav

Should be there on Sunday all being well.I would very much like to get to see the Lotus cars up close, what will be the likely hood be of getting into the garages??

I don’t believe there’ll be a problem (although an orderly queue may well be required on the day)

I think Fi and I will be there.

Love to meet you all but just got tickets for Silverstone, looks like i’ll be on me own.

Hope to see you guys on Sunday (if I can get finish my nursery prep duties) and if my hand is better.

I went on a Walshy day on Friday and managed to do myself an injury I recently swapped my wheel for a suede jobbie, sweaty hands,sideways at 80mph, opposite lock, ooops not unwound quick enough, snap back the other way,…double ooops, don’t think my wrist/thumb is supposed to go that way. I now have a nice purple bruise from the knuckle on my thumb to an inch up my wrist and a hand that looks like it belongs to a fat bloke Nothing broken but it bloody hurts…

Car was going great guns on Friday though - driving fast one-handed is quite hard though

Doh, that would of been cool. Thing is i’ve kind of gone and got myself a girlfriend now and she has booked the weekend off special so that we could go somewhere. As Pembrey was off I had said to Maddog that we could finish his car, then Helen goes and tells me that I can do what ever I want with her for the weekend, so I think all day soldering up maddogs car, or all day squirting whipped cream over 26 year old naked flesh! Hmmmmm, so Dave if you read this before I call you tomorrow, then next weekend is off. lol

I wonder if I can get away with Whipped cream at Rockingham though???

Don’t worry Pesk, I’ll make sure as to not dribble any on your hot dog!!

I ain’t worried matey, but just wondering if she fancies “a bag of nuts”

Why don’t you take her for a romantic weekend in Corby, she’s bound to be impressed

Does anybody know what the parking is like? I’m wondering whether to take the Lotus, or the wife’s car.

can’t see parking being a problem, its quite a big place

at snetterton they had lotus only parking so may be worth going in the exige.

Rockingham is like no other UK circuit - superb modern facilities/grandstands, plus acres of tarmac parking.

Cool. Thanks Guys.

Although when I went to the Champ cars there I was directed to park in a field (a nice field mind). Also, I thought the closer car park was gravel (but very nice gravel). Would be delighted to be wrong (and would take my Exige in any case). Sadly I’d be even more delighted to actually be there this weekend but it’s looking very unlikely (daughter’s 2nd b/day and all). So good luck Russ, think of yer.
