I guess you got some post over the last couple of days ?
As there is to the best of my knowledge 3 teams sorta based on here plus the likes of Bob & Conrod making the trip (hopefully more) how about we
get our heads together (electronically) and try to park together ? I'm sure it would be beneficial should any dramas unfold to have friendly
helpy type faces close by ?
I will be working on the theory I have always worked on at motor sport events, if you need it and I have it its yours, even if its only moral support.

Sounds good to me. I'm sharing my Tiger with my co-driver John, in a team with Mark Chandler (off this site) and one of his mates. Think
we're travelling up the night before and staying somewhere local, so should be there bright and early (good thing too, seeing as scrutineering
starts at 7am...)
Anyone else going?

We're booked in to the £29 TravelLodge!
And as Jon said, it would be good to have a bunch of friendly faces about!
Lyn (Fesycresy) is probably going to be there aswell.
Steve (looking forward to it even more now after reading the regs stuff just received!)

Are we talking the little garages at the end of the pit exit ?
Do I/we need to contact Carol maybe if we wanted adjoining garages or are we allocated as per start number ?
If Bob Conrod are doing your running etc I'm sure they will be open to a "bung" ?

I am begining to think this travel lodge might be a good idea with the early start,i'll speak with thecrankshaftman and see what goes.
James you have u2u re manage/runner/spanner
We can all get together at stoneleigh hopefully so we all know whats what.

Bob its easy, you just grab James time sheet go for a walk to Leicester then hand it back to him, that should do it.

James, joking................
But does this mean we cant divulge in cranky rods bbq ? Would it be safe ? Laxatives and endurance don't go together, unless its sitting on the
throne endurance............

If james doesnt need us there for 7am and scrutuneering i will probably drive up for pre 09.00hrs start, i am pretty sure scutter has volunteered his
services as well so i am sure tea/coffee food will flow somehow.

Jon, if Paula Radcliffe can do a No1 in her running gear during the marathon, I'm sure you could cope with a No2 in your race gear.
Glad I'm not your co-driver though..............
