I'll scan it, but won't be until tommorow night at least as I'm away from home.

I wrote up my visit from last year.

Please note this was a press day (hence multiple activities) we are talking about just the wet grip facility !

Thanks, Neil. No rush.

Nice write-up. I didn't realise that was there. A useful and informative explanation of what we can expect.

Neil,
Have you misread my post? I have put my name down as No.5 and I can attend the morning section. How come mine is missing?

James

If we get the numbers and Rockingham confirm the date then I'll be asking for cheques before the event.

Sorry gang - I'm out of this one... It's the PH VMAX day @ Brunter later in October, so I'll be taping up the panel shuts and folding the mirrors back in an attempt to crack 165...
