Hope the impact isn't as severe in your home country.
Thanks for the source of the clear lenses. I'll look into them.
Hope you can still make Sebring. Petite LeMans was incredible. They did a 1,000 miles in 11 hours 45 minutes approximately, and that was with five major full-track cautions for cars wrecked or stranded in bad places. If it fits better in your schedule that would be a viable alternative toSebring. You can get more direct flights to Atlanta from the UK than Orlando.
2007 is the 75th lemans 24 hours. We're beginning to think we should be there for that maor milestone. If we can't swing that than for sure we'll be at LeSarthe in '08.
Hang in there buddy, talk with you soon. .....Jim P.

Hi Jim, I will almost definitely get disqualified, I was informed by the officer who stopped me that I will hear from the courts within six months, I can only hope that as my licence is important for my business I may get maximum points and a heavy fine, I just have to wait and see. I only have myself to blame, I’m not usually so stupid I’ve had the car four years and never had a ticket, we were late for the airport and the motorway was deserted so I just got a little careless with my right foot, the rule of thumb here in the UK is 30mph over the limit and you lose your licence and as I was on a motorway the limit is 70mph so basically I’m screwed. Live and learn
Glad you enjoyed Petite Lemans it sounded eventful, as you know I’d love to make it over there for an event, I will know better nearer the time.
