Belgium GP organisation
 

hiya everyone,

would just like to know who would like to go in a minibus we were thinking a 12 seater... if we split costs between us who would fancy it, we was also thinking of going across on the P&O ferries from Hull docks so there will be little to no driving and more time for piss up ! ;)

you can leave youre car at the ferry port i doubt it costs to do this if we all met there.. would be pretty neat if we could get a few people to go, would keeps costs low and would be great fun !

so far theres a couple of us interested in doing this ive seen from a couple of threads .. so just to see who else would fancy this just say ..

Garry D.

parking is free at the terminal Garry ;)

:D Im booked in ! :D

Ditto ;)

1 advantage of having a 9 month old child is that they wake you up to register for competitions early in the morning. Im bookied in hopefully but i havent had an email confirming yet. Hope to get there sounds great.

Im booked in. 52nd in 2wd and 42nd in 4wd.Glad i was up early!

" Hello Garry,

Thank you for your entry,
confirmation number 34 in 2wd and number 27 in 4wd.
Personal transponders are just an option, hand outs are provided.

Good night,
Willy & Liliane "

same here !! lmao !!!! i booked in a 12:35 AM this morning :D

how many entrys per class is there as just booked in at 10 am and woundered what chance ive got of getting in

Assuming I get in (entry sent 7.30am this morning) then whilst I think this is a good idea I think I’m likely to stick to a car for flexibility and general ease. Getting everyone to leave the track at the same time etc can be a freaking nightmare.

Assuming we both get entries and everything works out we are thinking of getting an overnight ferry there on the Wednesday night (From Hull), to arrive there about 10am Thursday morning and have basically 2 days practice. We’d then also get the overnight ferry back on Sunday night. So 3 nights in Belgium, hopefully at a cheap local hotel (or B&B equivalent).

What would you guys plan on doing?

90 2wd and 80 4wd/truck I think.

It's mad keen this year, we obviously bigged it up too much after last year :-(

hi dan i was thinking of going thursday night hav friday as practice and then sat and sunday racing and ferry back sunday night that is if i get in

What are the dates?

G

5.6.7 of july 2008

You can actually go anytime the week before, last year most people arrived on or before the Thursday.

Getting setup is really important though actually my Belgium setup actually benefitted me as it's what I ran at Stotfold as that has a similar level of grip!

Practice to the Max!

You coming G?

If so you need to book in ASAP as I'm

"confirmation number 68 in 2wd, number 56 in 4wd."

so places are running out fast!

# 42 in 2wd, entered at 5:00 in the morning.

Show some commitment boys, I'm #12 and #9 :D

geek :)

I've just sent it in now as ive just woken up. Fingers crossed ill be allowed in :)

[QUOTE=super__dan;73119]You coming G?QUOTE]

Dates are no good for me :(

I applied at 8:46 this morning and am in the reserves list 3rd for 2wd and 8 for 4wd. It seems as it has been very busy this year.

dosent look good for me so will be a trip to ITALY i think to support the lads
im reserve 10 in 2wd and 17 in 4wd gutted

I think I was close to being one of the last to get entry, at 8am-ish...

Its sold out quicker than UB40!

I'll be going via car with Daneth, but keen to meet up with Footey, Garry, Neil and whoever else, we can have a few drinks on the overnighter from Hull etc...

Slots filled up fast, wasn't expecting that as its so close to the Euro's :eh?:, but this is a big compliment to Heremans and all of the other people of the club.

Holy carp, that's nuts!

Not looking good for Danny :-(

i wont be there chris im well down on the reserves but the outher lads got im gutted

Nope Danny has been told that he is and i quote

"Hello Danny,

We're very sorry but we've already had to start the reserve list:
number 17 reserve 2wd, number 25 reserve 4wd.

Willy & Liliane"

Dam being a student and always sleeping in late.

Bad news, by the way chaps I do remmeber the reserve list being long last year (though after a couple of days not hours) but that quite a lot of people dropped out. I think sme may not really realise how close it is to the Euros, and just other things crop up. Trouble is you may not know until close to the time.

X Factory Driver Antoinne was I'm sure reserve 10+ and got in but not until the week before. Shane, if you can leave the time free, I wouldn't write off your chances just yet!

my times free m8 so will see what happens:cool:

numbah 14 in 2wd

it's CRAZY how fast everything is filled in, last year it took about a week
now +- 8hours ...

19 in 2wd & 14 in 4wd for me :D

ye dan i recon that idea of going in car is probibly best as you pointed out. i recon we should all meet up at the ferry car park or somthing.. we only live a few mins away, infact i can hear it from my house on a foggy night !

should be a fantastic trip ! :)


as for the UB40 concert my mum and dad went to the one in Dolby Forest, did you go chris ?

Hi Neil,
No, im not a fan to be honest.

Meeting up is a must. Will see you at York shortly, or perhaps Batley on Sunday - but we have heaps of time to go over the fine details.

To the creatures of the night who have secured places at the 2008 Belgian GP - please be advised that the event takes place during the hours of daylight!!!!
Regards
Count D (154th Reserve) - I'm not bitter!

Wow, what time did you register?

crazy, I didn't even realise you had to register so early! we were thinking of going before Euros. :wtf:

The 154 is a favorite number of mine, and not the actual reserve places which are 24 for 2WD and 28 for 4wd at mid-day on the opening day for entries. Perhaps as this venue is gaining in popularity to this extent we in the UK should be putting it forward for a Round of our National Championship. From WISBECH it is closer than Southport for instance!

that would be mega.tis true it was closer than southport and v=bury for me werent muchtime difference neither

lol im garry, ye we will be at batley regional sunday chris, 7 months to go ! :rolleyes:

OK - Im warming to this! We already have cross border Regionals in NW/NE and in ME/EoE why not cross-border nationals? We are struggling for "good" national venues (apparently no-one likes flat grass anymore). Who's up for a National in Belgium if Willy and Liliane are prepared to host and offer a convenient weekend?
Did I just think that out loud?

YES!! :D
(None beer-fest weekend though, so we can camp AND sleep ;) )
