Trust you to sniff out the burger van Dave but it is a very nice food and coffee..... and plenty of parking ...... Just remember people dont attempt to drive up the ramp to the noodle bar in a lotus... even my van scapes the underside

[Rice crispy]

Cheeky git mine goes up that ramp must be all that weight in your van

[Paul69]

I want photographic proof of you driving up that ramp Dave ,,, I thought you struggle to get a 4x4 up that

Things are moving along for this event and should be good if the weather is kind, at the moment it looks like the attendance from LEC is only going to be a token one well 5 cars which is a bit of a shame.

6 i will be there to guys i would,nt miss a drive around the circuit its a fabulous track to drive on done many a track day there; what are the details for meeting up, what time everyone? Dave mentioned the noodle bar nr brentwood its the junstion on to the M25 which is backwards for me but no problem, myself and Dave eds have met there its easy to find and has a lovely coffee burger thing.. and is this on the saturday and sunday ? also who is camping? the weather i believe is supposed to be better in august but that cant maybee be relied on either way would be nice to see you all as always

[Paul69]

good map well done Bob .. just a quick question what was the plan for parking. in the club section or on southbank?

[Steve A]

what was the plan for parking. in the club section or on southbank

I would have thought the club area, when I went there for the Mini day and they went on the track for a "parade"the access was from that side of the track.
They also had a special symbol in their windows for club parking.

the weather i believe is supposed to be better in august

Could it get much worse

Are you actually going in your car Paul will we see it next week

[Paul69]

oi cheeky bugger ive driven it six hundred miles in the last few weeks in rain and everything ,, mind you i have got wet, i have new hoods seals but have not got round to fitting them yet im still waiting for a dry day

so these label for the windscreens then steve where do we ge

[bobbrown]

The event is over 2 days so you can come to either day or both, tickets are available for either day at £10.00 each or £15.00 for both days if pre booked or £21.00 and £27.00 on the day.

I am going to hazard a guess that entry will be via the main entrance off the A20.
As to parking then probably the club area seems to me to be the choice as we/LEC have an area allocated but if you prefer there is nothing stopping you parking on the south bank but you may miss out on the parade lap.
As for displaying a notice I'm not sure but will see if I can find out, may not be needed as the marshalls usually direct you to the right palce.

I should have some free weekend tickets on there way not sure how many but if you want one let me know, first come first served.
Camping is being organised by seloc but not too sure how that works as far as tickets go but I assume that to camp you will need to buy tickets through SELOC.



Bob

[Paul69]

thanks Bob most kind , yes a ticket would be good if you get a few that would be great... if you would all like i am happy to take the BBQ the day before in the van and i can pick it up the week after obviously people would need to bring some food along...

[bobbrown]

Paul,

If you intend to camp I think you will need to buy tickets via SELOC as at the "free" Brands Hatch campsite there are no facilities and I would think SELOC will be organising some facilities.
Will see what tickets turn up first.

Personally I will be driving there on both days as I gave up camping years ago.

[Paul69]

Hi Bob

No camping for me either , i havent done it for years and then just recently i camped at le mans (as the old saying goes you learn something new everyday) well i learnt also i dont like camping anymore and my house is only a twenty minute drive..

I can advise of some local ok ish hotels if you guys dont fancy driving all the way home and back again if that was the plan.

[Steve A]

I should have some free weekend tickets on there way not sure how many but if you want one let me know, first come first served.

[Paul69]

Bob

That would be great Bob if I could put my name on one.

If you guys are meeting north of the river then it would be good to meet up once you've all come over the bridge. Maybe Dave
can let me know once your through the tolls and I can catch up with you at Junction 2?

Trevor

[Paul69]

[Rice crispy]

Trevor, no problem PM me what number you want a call on and I will arrange with you
