Nick49 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hey Bentley03

My wife saying yes is just the first hurdle as she now wants me to cost it all out. If I pass that hurdle I've then got to get time off work. I work every weekend between start of May and end of September in a recreational harbour and the Boss is always reluctant to let me go as he has to cover but I'm pretty confident he will.

As for a weekend away in June. I went to every Le Mans between 1979 and 1986 and then got married in 1987 and haven't been back since. A 24 hour race is a whole different ball game. Sports cars are my thing. I saw the last sports car race at the old Spa in 1975 and the Group C cars at the old Nurburgring in 1983. Group C was my personal "Golden Era".

Part of the sales pitch for going to Jarama is that going abroad to see a race is so much more fun than just going to Silverstone or Brands Hatch. Its more of an event. I really hope to make it so in September.
