Can we spectators park our precious scoobies with all you racer boys, or do we have to leave them in a field somewhere?
Will you be grouping cars together for photo opportunities? If so, count me in for the P1 enclosure. Could I be the only one there with the 18" wheels?
I Look forward to meeting all the other scoobynuts on the day.

Kurt

If I get held up and miss the sign on by 9.00 have I blown it?
(Trying to decide whether to drive down on the morning or say somewhere close, not to good at getting up in the morning so getting there for 7:30 looks difficult).
Cheers

Plan B...
I think you have a bad illness coming on and can't possibly work...
The cure is, you drive to my place early in the morning, wake me up, I give you breakfast, we go to Brands and I get there in time for sign on, giving you squash tips as we go.
Whadya reckon?
Cheers

This is the first time I've taken a set of track wheels to change at the track.
What do I do with my road wheels and tools? Leave them hanging around to be nicked by the same sort of people who took the RB5 at Donnington?
Seriously is there anywhere to store these safely?
Is there somewhere near that sells SUL

We'll be allowed access to the pits, so maybe in there. Tyres Northampton will be in attendance, so you may not need to bring too much hardware. Suggest a pushbike flexible lock thingy to loop 'em all together maybe - or close a pit for tool & tyre storage for all...
I'm checking into SUL. Brands may have it available, will be letting me know. Alledgedly Texaco stn on the A20 does have it, but also alledgedly doesn't - am looking into it!

Thanks for the advice, I've got a long bike chain just in case. But closing off one pit may be a good idea for us all for storage, the less clutter and weight in the boot the better - I notice in Johnfelsteads recommendations is to take out the spare.
Thanks for finding out about SUL although I don't absolutely need it I would prefer it.
I hope a tankful is enough. At 8 mpg that means about 6 laps/gallon. Taking into account that at about 1/3 tank you get fuel surge on the tight left handers that means about 50 laps (but then maths never was a strong point)

For worst case scenario I am filling up at the Thurrock Services (M25/A13 Junction) and driving the 20ish miles to Dono @ under 69 mph.
Are you guys gonna stop there on way though Puff?
Cheers
Chuck
BTW there is a cool race parts shop in Brands Hatch, more or less opposite the main entrance - get your goodies (race harness etc) there at lunch!

We're now going on the track on Friday - so excited when I found out yesterday afternoon that I had to be peeled off of the ceiling!!
Couple of questions:
- do we need gloves?
- what's the dress code? Jeans, long sleeved top, trainers okay?
Cheers
