We spent several hours last night poring over various availability forms we've been sent and we will be doing about the same number of meetings as before, albeit with reduced travelling.
I expect late finishes - by it's very nature motor racing is unpredictable, so I plan accordingly. I know that when I go to Donington I won't get back much before 11pm, but that's my choice. When I go to Croft, I know I won't be back much before 1am so I take the Monday off - again, my choice.
Unfortunately there are again a number of clashing events and I'm sure there will be a number of poorly supported events but, especially in this economic climate, I expect that. I cannot and do not expect every meeting I attend to either run to time, be fully supported or to have perfect weather but I know this - what I do expect is a sincere thank you from drivers and organisers - that makes up for a lot.
