The Moose is loose! Jesus I hope he took a car this time rather than strap everything but the kitchen sink onto a Yamaha.

As Matt said Nobby, Sebring has a lovely "old school" feel to it, the place has changed very little over the years. You'll love it, if not this year, next for sure. We'll knock a few cold ones on the Turn 10 scafolding for you. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this motley mob Saturday, oh dear, not sure my liver is ready for this again...

John, It WILL be next year. There is no trip to Thailand next Easter, as 3 months ago, I stupidly undertook the challenge of racing one of my friends to the top of Mount Killimanjaro, in February or May next year. therefore, the end of March will be clear! |

Will be looking forward to seeing you there Nigel, a terrific race, and the hospitality of the Turn 10 crew is something to behold.
Just checked the forecast for Saturday at Sebring, partly cloudy, high of 79, low 55. Only 10% chance of rain.

I can recommend the whisky route up mount killi, it will take you seven days, more time to get used to the hight, believe me, you need it. It is also the hardest route, the coca-cola route is the easiest, but only four days and you stay in huts, the whisky route uses tents. It's kind of like Le Mans, 6 days without a proper shower, but then without the beer and loads of friends and race cars.  |

Although the longest, it has the highest success rate. I've done a bit of trekking in the Himalayas a while back, so am all too aware of the AMS issues. That's the main reason we have gone for this route. |

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009/03/20/gallery-gt-gt-the-sebring-fans.aspxA nice piece about Sebring by the well know photographer John Brooks with a turn 10 flavor! (and a Club Arnage T worn by the amazing Randy who gets a name check) There are also a couple of other good pieces on Sebring http://speedhunters.com/

Heard a reference to DFH and the turn 10 crew by John Hindhaugh not long after I tuned in to the Radio Le Mans broadcast yesterday evening for the qualifying. Good to hear that the enthusiasts are still recognised. Will be tuning in again tonight to see how things are going, jealous of those who are there, but looking forward to June...

Listening to Radio LeMans and watching the live stream on SpeedTV - One thing I have noticed that I've never clocked before - the diesels really do sound lke lorries don't they.....? Maybe it's the booze but I'm not so sure.
