Title: 2006 Spa 1000 KMs
Post by: hgb on May 03, 2006, 08:57:32 pm
Just to put this on top again because it's only a couple of days away (and I'm getting excited ;D )...
The entry list looks very promising with 50 cars on the grid. (See here http://www.lmes.net/fr/spa/liste_engages.asp)
As I recall from some previous post we will meet at the beer bar (where else ;D ) in the paddock on saturday (please add a time). As most of those who will be along know, there are two bars in the paddock and I would recommend the one which is opposite the race tower at the tunnel (not the one where the cars leave the paddock on to the track). This will be a guarantee for access to drinks and food.
I hope to see you there in numbers.
Note to JPC - please don't forget the shirts. Some cold ones will change hands.
Happy evening to all.

Will be there too with some other lemanszone.de members, but on raceday only. Any meetings for sunday, e.g. watching the start the top-of-Eau-Rouge beerstand?
Or other suggestions for sunday?
Cheers
Werner

Cold t-shirts? ::) ???And to add misery to those staying home; MotorsTV will only broadcast the highlights from 9 PM that same Sunday :-\
Oh, and don't miss the start. We'll have our practise for LM at Eau Rouge.
The start of Spa LMS might turn a little orange ;D

HGB, the t-shirts are currently with Ferrari Spider. I cannot get hold of him at the moment so I'm a little concerned that he may be having more tests etc. I kinow he's had PC problems but cannot get hold of him or his wife on their mobiles! Hoping to catch up with him this weekend to be able to get hold of them!!

That's not too good news. I hope he's alright.
It would be nice to have the shirts at Spa but LM will do as well.

Thanks Chop for your alternative program for that weekend but I fear I'm surely gonna miss it ;D
Ok folks, we have a meeting point but no time yet. Saturday's meeting point will be the paddock bar at (I just name a time) 16:00. Please intervene if you vote against it but post an alternative time/place. Sunday's meeting point will be the Raidillon bar. Note to Werner: Actually, we should meet at the fence overviewing the start and finish line. Is this what you meant ? Anyway, it's roughly a direction. Have fun. ;D
I hope Ferrari Spider is doing well. Keep up, mate.
Edited to say: Ah yes, "cold ones" are cold beers of course not the shirts or the weather. It looks promising (first sunburn 2006 ;D ), for the moment at least.

I'll see what the rest of the group wants, but meeting up at 1600 in the Paddock bar sounds like a fine plan.

Sounds good and please stop feeding Paddy any sausages by at least next thursday. ;D Sorry, but this had to be said.
If you need any more people to get the DfH flag up and running at Eau Rouge please let me know.

We plan to put up flag(s) on saturday on one of the grandstands, as no one is usually sitting there. On sunday you 're all more then welcome to help us out on Eau Rouge, it is no coincidence that we plan to meet there on the sunday. ;DIf you need any more people to get the DfH flag up and running at Eau Rouge please let me know.

So we're on for 1600 in the Paddock bar (behind the middle of the endurance pits) on Saturday?
Title: Re: 2006 Spa 1000 KMs
Post by: LangTall on May 09, 2006, 09:50:36 pm
As far as I'm concerned, yes.
We will be there around lunchtime, and put our flagging on display on a grandstand for some time maybe, but mostly hang around there and wait for JPC and Smokie to catch up with us. Mark if you read this, we will enter the track on La Source.
Meet up at 1600 in the Paddock bar sounds like a fine idea. (http://forum.drinkingforholland.com/images/smiles/drink.gif)

No sauce piquant for you!
Can I venture into my bathroom yet? ;)

The sauce piquant was potent to the nose.
