David Ward Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 It's getting close.... As a first time Wheeltorque customer should I worry that I haven't got tickets, details etc etc through yet? Seems to be cutting it a bit fine...... I know there was a short thread a couple of months ago but perhaps time for an update on who's going? Jerry Pike and I will be going from the Surrey area for a Sunday 1100 sailing (I think... it's so long ago I booked I can't remember...). Hopefully we will link up with some others. Yellow/ali SLR, Orange Clubsport, Minno + Scooby Legacy - I don't even know where we're staying yet...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Dawson Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 David My details arrived in this mornings post. I don't think you have anything to worry about with Wheeltorque. They are good people. I will be travelling down also on the 11:00am Sunday ferry. Staying at L'Auberge in Spa. I will be trailering my Red Caterham with a full cage. In convoy with Peter Ratcliff with his Superlight racer. I will be towing with a black Discovery Series II V8 and Peter has a Green Discovery Series II V8. Both with Brian James trailers. You can't miss us! E-mail me off line to swap mobile numbers and meet up. Howard Edited by - Howard Dawson on 6 Jul 2002 23:28:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_964rs Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I'm also going. The convoy bit is part of the fun! Always a cheery wave for fellow Spa-goers (or 'ring-goers) as I blat past. If you see a procession of multicoloured 911's zoom past, mine is yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richens Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I'm leaving on a slightly earlier ferry with my silver Discovery and "burger van" reg R500 NOT ,will be in convoy with my friend with his D type (trailed).

Matt Sullivan Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Can't make it this year unfortunately .... ... but please keep an eye out for my mate Mark. He's a new boy with his brand new black/ali Fireblade. He took it to the Ring a few weeks ago, but it spent the entire 2 days in the pits. Thanks to Blackbirdman for his efforts in fixing the oil pump. Have a good one, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_964rs Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I will say hi. I pulled up behind him at the petrol pumps at the 'ring just after his engine had first dumped oil everywhere and kept in touch through the two days. It looked like a really lovely car.

John Richens Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The F1 pit garages are normally first come first serve (4 cars to a garage),each year it's a bit of a lottery but depends whether you can gain access on the previous afternoon ...there is stacks of space undercover anyway in the lower paddock but if you have a formula car with a gnat's ground clearance then you need to be in the upper area. not long now...praying for reasonable weather !
