Nice one Modes!

[Al Weyman]

I have copied and pasted at the other place Modes. Shame I cannot be in two places as easily myself lol! Also made an event in FaceBook. Please comment on it to keep it alive.

[Moosehead]

Ahh, but you've got 2 cars and with a little planning could with a hop skip and jump get from one race at Mallory, over to Donington then back to Mallory

[Al Weyman]

Yeah but how do i get two up there and back? Black Thunder needs a longer range fuel tank and seat belt repositioning but I am on the case anyhow. i will have to see if my co driver is up for it or in the US!

LOL - I seem to remember you managed to get them both to Rockingham last year

[Al Weyman]

Yeah that was one circuit though and I can't borrow Jonathon's helicopter as he wont be there

Got to be the answer, get Cliff persuaded!! He's back in the UK now anyway.... spoke to him the other day. Sounds like his Mustang ran well at the Shelby meeting and at Lime Rock. Not that I am jealous in any way..... whatsoever....

My entry is in for the Camaro, lets hope she's fixed and back to her best by then. Spa was not kind to her..

[Al Weyman]

Spa ain't kind to any car which is why I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in ever racing there! Not sure it should have been on the calander as I thoughtt he remit was 'budget' racing!

[Tom Barley]

hmm, I have to say though, it was a great experience to race there. I can't wait to go back.

Donnington is going to be a great meeting! (trying to stay on topic!)

[Al Weyman]

Yeah probably right but way out of my financial budget at the moment, I may not even be able to do Donington for the same reason business is totally on the floor at the moment its as simple as that. Thats why I got annoyed when someone else on the other Spa thread was slagging guys off for not supporting the meeting generally, well sorry you do what you can afford to do when you are 100% self funded its as simple as that.

You were doing well at Spa in Practice, unless there are two Tom Barley's with Camaros! I take it it was wet? I kept up timings etc on the Spa website.

Don't get me on about Spa and damage! At different times and in three different cars; 2 engines blown; 2 back axles smashed; two gearboxes; 2 clutches; taken off twice with a big bill, once being lapped by a Mustang and once when lapping a Capri.... etc. Last September I sponsored two other cars too, including one in the 6 hours and we all broke down! I do love it though, made many friends there, including Bernie.

Can't wait till Donington!
