I'm getting that feeling I get a few days before the racing. Getting a bit excited, struggling to focus on work. Have loads to do here before I finish Thursday. Annual budget submission and review with the Group MD/FD........but still thinking about racing.

Paul Barlow, Martin Cooper, and Ian Mayhew will all be at the circuit well before any of us and will reserve some space for us.

David.

Ah, so its not just me then. Only got a couple of hours shut eye last night. Race tracks and things going round and round in my head. Still undecided as to whether I fancy this coming weekends format or not. Suppose at least its something different. Being out with the looney bunch may help the riding ability as well. Just think its going to be a tad difficult to work out where you are as a Clubman Minitwin in relation to the rest of the field.

According to the circuit, Friday is scheduled for showers but Saturday should be dry and overcast. Wonder if they are any better than the met office?

I'd prefer dry, but wets OK. Changeable is awful and plays on the nerves! We need to select the correct tyres for practice.

You staying over with us Sunday night? You are more than welcome, will just need to check where you can park the caravan.

Would love to stay over Dave, as long as thats ok. The caravan can stay on the back of the van as long as there is enough room somewhere. If its going to be a nightmare, we can just come back.

Are you North of Bristol?

As for tyres, I have a nicely stuffed rear after 15 runs on the rolling road. It may well have to do practice if it is dry. With no mechanical help this weekend, wheel changes will be down to me. By the sounds of things, its going to be one of those where you can't make your mind up. Not a good recipe for stress.

It'll be great to have you stay mate. Getting the caravan in our driveway will be challenging. Presumably its no wider than your van? If that's the case then it should fit. the entrance to the drive is steep and on a corner, than the drive drops down steeply. If it doesn't fit then we can use the neighbours parking spot at the side of the house. Its on a little lane, but its as safe as houses where we live. The neighbours are coming to Pembrey so will be more than happy to help out.

Theres plenty of room in the drive for your van.

Sounds like a plan. The caravan is a tad wider than the van itself, but, if it will fit, I shall get it there.

Will be nice of your neighbours to go. Do they think you are off your trolly like most of mine?

Yes they do. I have J's parents, neighbours, mates from work, my old Uni pal, and possibly some folks off the MCN forum visiting this weekend. The neghbours and J's parents are staying the whole weekend at a local B&B.

Very motivated to put up a good show Laughing

Nothing like a partisan crowd to spur on the efforts, I should know. I will be having the same at Brands apparently, this time, with interest over last I am told. So four race victories would be good. Lets hop noone else turns up. Laughing

Crikey a full house. Who'se bringing the bangers and , no, I am not referring to G's bike.

Sort of expected sooz to pull out.

I am sleeping like a baby at the mo' but its prolly through ignorance of how wet it's going to be on Friday. Sunny sat? and mayber sun but quite breezy as Pembrey always is....

Can't wait.

I won't be there Dave, back at Brands GP. Will be good if it's qualifying for this round aswell.

Jon,

Is the wrist continuing to heal OK?

It'll be good to have you back. Brands GP...... Very Happy

Don't think we will be qualifying. Think its just a one-off at Pembrey because of the combined grids through lack of entries. Brands will be heaving so back to separate grids. Make sure you have your entry in.
