    It's all about friday night man.. I don't think many people would be camping on Saturday, because Sunday isn't an RTOC day

    Camp both nights, only because I cant be bothered to drive home after full day on track plus extra drinking time

    Re: to camp or not to, that is the question

    Actually, Saturday night seems the more popular night to camp. I think the reason being is that some can't get there til too late on Friday due to working late etc and also, people don't drink as much on the Friday as they'll be driving very early the next day.

    Not sure what's happening on Sunday but we're allowed to stick around and watch if we want to.

    Buildbase MC races is on, we were allowed to watch last national day but weather was rather poor so most of us packed up and left.

    Definitely camp mate ... it's always a good laugh ... banter, barbeques, booze, tunes ... even the odd didgeridoo thrown in for good measure sometimes

    The camping's the best bit. Get ruined, eat food bbq'd with carb cleaner, go on random walks taking the piss out of anything that moves, attempt a world record for the biggest bonfire. Just some of the things that usually happen

    Oh yes camping both nights.
    Got the gas powered fridge to keep the beer cold and should be in on site before 6pm if all goes to plan today.

    Clio is having a noise reduction day today as its a little loud with just a single cherry bomb silencer. (Remember them all you oldies?)

    Well Sarah & I are staying Saturday night but decided to stay in the following B&B

    http://www.kirkby-house.com/room%20booking.html 100metres to a real bed lol and fry up and bar if needed lol

    Save the pain of trying to get a tent in that bloody car of mine. Still be out with the gang though.

    See you all tomorrow
