Hefty fines for technical infringements.  I've heard the Scrutineers are pretty hot at Goodwood!

Oh no, my furry dice string is wearing thin.

Saving weight...that's a gamble

The pub have only received 4 sets of orders.

Can everyone intending to eat at The White Horse please send your choices to them by tomorrow?

Thank you

We have ordered.

Hoping we will be able to join you all on Saturday but alternator has packed up and none to be had anywhere. Paul Brand is trying to get the old one repaired and back on the road on Friday.
Will know on Friday afternoon if it is possible and all being well will join you at Midhurst or at Goodwood.

Fingers crossed!!

Concierge Camping - Just spoke to them to let them know that I wont be coming until Saturday.  They are happy for me to let one of you guys stay on Friday in my place.  So should anyone want to stay on Friday night send me a PM.  I just need to send them your name and reg etc.

Also, I asked if two vans could share and they confirmed that if anyone has booked a large pitch, they would be happy for two vans to share.  So if you have booked one that's an option.  Sadly my booking is a smaller one.

I've just been asked about dogs at Goodwood.

Yes they may be brought, but must be on a short lead and under no circumstances can they be walked on the track or grid. I suggest if you are bringing a dog, that you keep them inside your Kombi when we are on the track, for both the photos and laps.

Food email sent.

Thanks for the info Tim.

I spoke to the pub this afternoon re dogs.
They are allowed in the pub but only in the bar area and not in the dining room/conservatory. I'm not sure how many dogs are coming along but it might be an idea to allow those bringing them the chance to grab a table in the bar first. If I remember rightly there were about 8 tables in this area.

We will be dog less. Have ordered whizzers for those that have requested them. Sorry not gluten free Keith. They do have gluten free but not of the Warwickshire whizzer variety - so just good sausages

Just between us - Scooby will be going everywhere!

Scooby is normally OK

Hopefully this is a daft question, but are we OK to do a parade lap without crash helmets? Do we have to bring driving licences or anything else with us?

Haha - yes of course you need a crash helmet and full racing suit. Didn't you get the memo??

No relax - just your good selves and your (hopefully) shiny Kombis.

Not been told you need your driving licence either, or track day insurance!!

Just checked the weather, it looks like qualifying may be damp. I'm wondering if I should take a range of tyres!!!

For goodness sake don't have any accidents on the course - I suspect your insurers will try to wriggle out of paying, if they know you've been on the track, even though you've not been racing.

Maybe a slow drive around the track will be called for - particularly if poor visibility and not all with have wet weather tyres!!

It's a pleasure lap or 2 - nothing more.

I know that, you know that, but insurance companies aren't nice people, if they think they can avoid a claim.

Understood Abs and thank you for your wise words. Sorry our chief insurance adviser won't be with us this weekend!

Anyone got a drone camera they could bring this Saturday?

Got my GoPro ....

If you've got a GoPro I'm sure one of the Northern Krew can bring a pigeon to strap it to.

It's just too far for us at the moment, otherwise we'd have been there. If we were coming, I'd have advised my Broker (Fleetcover) to make sure we were covered!
