Have a good trip Clive. Do not envy you all those bloody Motorways though.

We will all be at Andy Gordons after the track session, but believe you are not going to make it until Midnight. Unfortunately at that time the front gates will probably be locked, but there is no problem with pitching on the grass outside, then moving inside on Saturday.

Any problems give me a call on 07961 591592. Good driving.

You would have only turned up with your brake pads on the wrong way round anyway...

As I’ve not figured out a way to make the next booking for Kames on June 21st fair and people have been throwing fistfuls of money at me to get a place, I’ll be taking bookings at Knockhill tomorrow (Friday 6th June) and later at Andy’s place. The day costs £30 a head for EACC members, non members will be an additional £20 for membership (payable on the day). After Kames tonight, there are about 10 places left; once these are full I will take names for reserves. It’ll be first come first served; I don’t imagine the places will last long.

Just had a thought about the parade laps on Sunday....

Would it be possible to get all the S1's in formation, followed by the S1 Exiges, followed by the 340's then the S2's etc etc.... for the first few laps..

Or is going to be hard enough just getting us all to the track at the right time as it is...?

Do we give a the driver list to the tower so they can "commentate" during the run?
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

And I thought *I* was anal...however there's a formation area adjacent to pitlane, depending on amount of other activity it may be possible to use that to group the cars but you know as well as I do they're all going to dive down the inside into Duffus 1st chance they get ;-)

Probably for Tut to raise with Stuart Gray, we will probably be at the mercy of Knockhill Paddock Marshalls by that point and no amount of hi-vis arm-waving by me, Dezzy or anyone else may help!!

John

I will confirm today, but it will not be laps, just everybody onto the track, photos, then a slow parade lap and off again.

Not sure how many Club Lotus cars there will be, but there are over 90 of us, so maybe 150+.

We can line ours up as we wish, so no reason that we could not try it as you suggest, subject as to how we could organise it from the display area.

Are we at x-purposes here?

Was Victor referring to the track session of 20 mins, or the "track car park" thing at the finale? Different things...

On re-reading, I think the finale thing, in which case for avoidance of doubt there will be NO diving down the inside at Duffus as the place will be solidly 3-abreast. Ah, no change there then ;-)
