Convoy you :ghey: , its not a race, im only gona be going 75-80mph.

What time do we have to be through the gates to get on the stand?

We can then google map our route to find a rough time then add 1/2 hour or so to our leave time.

Chriscooke
13-05-2008, 17:00
I'm not on the stand or anything this time:rolleyes: But is it worth going to have a look around? I'm guessing from this thread that the queues get quite bad to get in later on also?

Adam0bmx0
13-05-2008, 17:03

Well sturge is leaving plym at 6:30
And the speed you drive... conserving your petrol we'll have to leave around 4:00 am :wack:

How about we leave bang on 7:00... so plym people can meet between 6:30 - 7:00 at say beefeater...
Aim to drive past exeter 7:45 but not stop and people jus jump on as we go????
Atleast if sturge and co stop at exeter... once they have cuddled and filled the S13's radiators back up they will be ready to join up again :D
Rog does that suit you???
