Looks like a certain flat black fastback will turn up to... with 4 or 5 friends... and thats the 9 sec type of friends...
Could we get a full stage of 9 sec cars...??   

Excellent,that what I was hoping for,if that doesnt bring them out nothing will

i was hoping to come, but I have just sat down to price it up, and with the baby, its out of my price range this year.  Hopefully next year.

so i am guessing that you will be close to my place around noon. i travelled 3 hours from dunkerque to my place, so how many people are coming on this trip so far? maybe, just maybe i can make something up for lunch... depends on the number and time involved.

thanks. my wife is booking tickets to go by plane.

Guys I just worked out my shift pattern/holidays for SCC and I have from Aug 12th to 23rd and the best thing is I only need to "Book" 4 days holiday 

[Lids]

looks like i will be flying over on the Friday

[nicolas]

how stupid is it to race at SCC with the fastback??? i really want to race, BUT i need the car to get back as well with the family... so if i break i am stranded in Norway. what do i need to do to race? are there spaces left? and a place to get some spare parts, or someone that comes along with a truck... just thinking out loud.

To race with the fastback is really cool nicolas!! That`s gona be a performance to respect

There will be parts dealers at the site, or else the place is stuffed with real vw enthusiasts, so there are NO chance you will be stranded in Norway, unless you want to of course

To race you need three point safety belt, no loose items in the car, drivers license, helmet, gloves, and clothes that cover your body. And the car must be "leek free"
And there are depot spaces left, no problem.
 
Hope to see you at the race track!

Like Berger says racing the car would be really cool. it's one hell of a drive so I understand your concerns about keeping the car in good shape but run the car at 8/10ths and it'll be fine. Basically launch it soft and shave some RPM off of the top. The experience you'll have will have been worth way more than paying heed to any concerns you have. Again like Berger says you're at a track full of enthusiasts and there's no way anyone's going to leave you stranded. At worst the car goes home on the transporter but so what? It's really unlikely to happen and if it does the plus side is you can crack a beer open and enjoy the ride back. Get breakdown insurance and have some fun! I would like to have been driving there myself this year but too many commitments in terms of time and money have meant I can't so it'll have to wait but I intend to do the trip sometime and when I do the car isn't going to be parked trackside unless I broke it on the way! It's addictive; last year at EBI my car developed a fault which really screwed my times but it was in the upper RPM range so I concentrated on working out how to launch the car with the new diff. I put in 12 passes I think and ended up having to stop 14 times on the way home! Whilst it wasn't the best drive home I've had we made it back. I don't know how far the SCC is from you, 1000 miles maybe? Look at it this way what's the worst you can do in an additional 2.5/3.5 miles?

 

... so if i break i am stranded in Norway ...

... så there are NO chance you will be stranded in Norway, unless you want to of course...

And thinking about it, that isn't so bad either; it's a beautiful country. Run 10/10ths, kill the car, 'forget' the breakdown insurance and enjoy the scenery!

Ok i will live la vida loco then and make this trip one to tell my grandchildren (only because my son will allready be there...) sign me up. i have a helmet, still need gloves (are these specific? ) and i will try to run it 9/10th of my possibilities... 

thanks for convincing me so quickly 

[roland]

dman i want to go to scc. That bay is sooo cool...

[JS]

DO IT! 

[Lids]

flights booked, thanks to JHU a lift and accommodation all sorted, the wife isn't happy, but she knows this will be my last foreign show for a few years, so she has let me go!

[nicolas]

no way back. non-refundable tickets to Gardemoen are booked for my wife and son; they will arrive at Gardemoen airport at 15:00 on saturday. hope this does not interfere with my racing...    i.e. hope i don't break stuff before they arrive.

[ESH]

... hope this does not interfere with my racing ... 

  9/10ths huh?

I'm arriving Friday afternoon, I don't remember the time but it's OK; I'll wave out of the window when we land, keep an eye open.

Please dont wave OUT the window but rather give us a wink from the inside. Safer that way.  No problem Mat, the SCC taxi will be waiting.

yep... 

no flights back, so it will be a familytrip back home, not sure with what car...

well they arrive at Gardemoen on the 15 of august at 15:00 with a Sterling flight (NB 638) so i guess they get out half an hour later as they have very little baggage they can take with them.
