typical 5 star a la ardennoise. yearly income brut 40000e and 15000e for the grandprix , start singing about the richman. and overthere it rains more than in the UK. but then a spacy silent worksshop is worth thinking about

I do remember looking in an estate agents window in MAlmedy a few years ago, we could buy a lerge gaff with an acre of test track/workshop and no mortgage

theres also the minor issue of no work as well, but hey ho

Hence the Hotel idea,all the track-day organizers think it,s a great idea!.Plus the fact that I,ve offten heard the Belgium drivers say that they need a proper Race [Historic]Shop over there.

They seem to think it will disperse p.m Sat,in that case,will it return after dark.Sunset is 19,15pm so we could have a foggy ending of the 6hr,might even get to the bar with enough time for a beer or two if it gets shortened.[If not,it will be a late night]

I hope the six hours will last six hours and our car (Healey 71) will last six hours Be there if we finish, we will celebrate Mark Schmidt very specially when he comes in after 6h. one thing is true after that he wont need a pillow for 6 months and neither to cam his curlings for 6 months............
