Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated.

hmm, my 2007 list...

Sebring 12h - What great hosts all at Turn 10 were, especially after Thursday night.

Le Mans 24h - Friday night party. Come to La Sarthe guys, let us show you how we do that!

Nürburgring LMS - First time I made it a day trip, and the first time I took my son to a 6 hour race.

Spa 24h - It was basically just a noisy pub on top of Eau Rouge! All went well untill Mogie came out with his famous rum...

Silverstone LMS - Second time my son went along (a whole weekend this time). Freezing cold at night, great breakfast made by Nopanic!

Rotterdam meeting - Paddy's Territory. Great band on stage. 45 people staying the night in my workshop. We had one barrel of beer left!

===============================================================

Some positive things for 2007: All the new friends we made and old friends we saw again. The professional bar we hired for Le Mans. The way DfH @ Le Mans was organized by 5 men. Hospitality tour by Spyker at Le Mans and pitlane visit during a pitstop at Silverstone.

Some negative things for 2007: The weather at all race tracks: Sebring-wet/Le Mans-wet/Nürburgring-threat of rain/Spa-cannot remember/Silverstone-freezing cold. Don't take a van if 6 tons of goods have to be moved to Le Mans. Avoid Orlando Airport if you can. Lang Tall's current private situation.

Let me see, i did in 2007 the same things as in 2006 24h LM and PLM...

2008 I want to go for the triple crown Smiley probably the last year i can do it, since I'm signing the papers for a (still to be build) apartment upcoming monday.

to finish of the same style Paddy did

positive of 2007
+ Becoming an Uncle Smiley
+ my own 24h of driving during the 24h LM week (sunday before the race to France, thursday back home, friday back to LM, sunday back home again)
+ friday party @ 24h LM... you must come over if you are there.... this is how DfH does it Cheesy
+ Seeing all my sweet American (and danish) friends again at PLM (and offcourse making new friends)
+ Party weekend @ paddy's place
+ Buying an apartment

Negative
- Lang Talls private situation
- Curry contest on Friday night @ 24h LM (never do that on a little coke, bear and cake, make sure you have a decent layer of food in your stomach)
- Missing the hospitality unit tour by Spyker because i went home to be with the birth of my niece

 B. Dude,

  Is it safe to assume that the triple crown is comprised of Sebring, Lemans, and the Petit Lemans?

Wow, it was a long year!  I've never been as busy in my life.

It all started back in January........
Daytona 24 Hrs- GA-  as a spectator, my first time in the pit for this race, slept for about 40 minutes, ouch.  Weather was F-ing awful!
Mexico City- GA- now an employee
Sebring- ALMS- need I say more?
Homestead-GA
VIR- GA
Laguna- GA
Lime Rock- GA
The Glen- GA
Le Mans!!!!-  Need I say more?
Mid-Ohio- GA
Daytona- GA- a one day show in support of NNC- 18 hours at the track- ugh
Iowa- GA- we were running up front the whole time until we picked up rubber, threw a belt and cooked the engine.  It took weeks to recover from the disappointment.
Barber- GA- A WIN!!
Montreal- GA
Mosport- ALMS- Rain rain and more rain.  We ended up going back to the hotel, again.
Detroit- ALMS- a hot, sunny day.  Private P&M/Corvette hospitality tent!   Cheesy
Utah- GA- another win, crazy finish!
Laguna- ALMS- I love this track

I'm sorry I missed Petit again.  Someday........... 





Is it me or have you been to EVERY race in Georgia except Petit?  Huh

I've had many highlights last year!
  • Driving around with Mark during the storm at Sebring!
  • Actually seeing some of the racing in Le Mans! (From the comfort of my couch at home that is)
  • Being awesomely close to the action at the A1GP!
  • Not getting killed at Petit  angel

Thanks to everyone for an amazing year!

The GA stands for Grand Am, not for Georgia.
