Not a great fan of fizzy wine, prefer a full bodied red or a dry white

Not sure where you got that idea from M! Anyhow, a glass of champagne sounds like particularly good pre-race prep to me!

Thanks for the photos Eric, I love the deserted pictures of the place. I have only once arrived as early as Tuesday of race week, but there was something magical about the whole place slowly coming alive. Somehow it has as much atmosphere empty as it does full.

(That was also the year my travelling companion and I somehow got locked on to the track in his Cobra replica on Tuesday afternoon as they painted the Ford chicane and had to be let out through the pit lane by a friendly American)!

As for alcohol before the race, well for me it will be purely medicinal.

I'm planning to bring some local South Carolina micro-brew beers and some Michelin goodies to hand out (haven't forgotten the Michelin tour, still working on that).

I was also thinking of brining some ALMS/WEC signed posters and hero cards that I have duplicates of. Would anyone be interested in those?

Remember you will have to carry that lot from America, understand if you have only two hands you might have to priorities, beer would be nice

Pork scratchings are a fine idea, my local butcher does a very good line in them and I'm pretty sure they'd survive the trip.

You had me at the word pork. I'll eat anything pork related. Could never be a muslim, not drinking alcohol would actually be a lot easier than not eating the swine!

We've got our variations on pork scratchings too, and I'm actually very fond of a few of those with red onion or some pickles.

Faggots - type de charcuterie anglais, Pascal.

Pork scratchings? Utterly disgusting. But faggots, good faggots are delicious. My bro-in-law does some work for a butcher friend and keeps us supplied - Mmmmmm.

Trying to think of some 'traditional' Essex foods to bring (not native, I moved here) and struggling. All might be a bit tricky/smelly after a while/boring to bring:

* Mersea Island Oysters
* Pie, mash and liquor (I know it's traditionally 'East End', but they all come here for the day and want to eat that!)
* Maldon sea salt!!!
