Anyone coming on Sunday want to convoy down from Herts / Beds area?

Early start, meet at South Mimms Services at 7.15 am, to hopefully be at Brands Hatch by 8.30, need to be in before 9am from what I can see.

Already got Stu twin, Demon James and Mustang Mark, plus a GTO.

Anyone else?

I was going to say 7am Matt - that's what we aimed for last year and got away by about 7.15.
Otherwise it'll be 7.30 by the time we all get there and get away... ;)

In addition to a static display of some dragsters, like last year, it looks like there'll be some live action out on the track too this year :shock:

I'll be there for 7, all being well with Mark (in mustang) and non-member Paul in a camaro and Matt H (I was planning on leaving mine by 06:30 Matt :thumbright: )

Cheers James - I've got to leave home by 6 to get to Stus by 6.30 so we can get to South Mimms for 7, and meet Paul in the GTO somewhere on the way (prob at Stu's), so need to build in a bit of contingency for cock-ups on the way :coffee:
