I'll be perfectly honest and this is no way a critisism but in my experience of Rolling Roads the morning session will finish a lot earlier than you expect!
Now if you want a lot of dead time in between then fine, thats what you will get!
The last three times at JKM have been finished by 1 at the most and that was up to 20 cars.
The last time was done by 12 and that I think was 15 cars.

All I can say is I will be there as early as I can. :wink:

Lots of coffee breaks  :laugh:

Also i've tried to arrange it so that the people who have said they are going to be there all day are in the last few time slots. That way if we find we're ahead of schedule we can put someone from the last few slots in earlier in the day :wink:

I'm sure that Craig will also appreciate a little bit of time in between runs to have a chat with people and nose around cars etc :smiley:

I'm too excited. I want to know what my car is running. My mates have bets on what its running

It a standard ABF?

Since I posted that I did realise that all the other RR's I had been to had 2 people setting up, now if The Doc is doing most of that himself it will take a little longer.
But I would still guess at 15 mins per car.

Talking of coffee breaks and chilling in between might be an idea if folk could bring some folding chairs or plastic patio ones? Just a thought! :wink:

I'll not be on my own  :wink:

Could do with a couple of spare wheels with tyres on for under the ramps if any of the early birds have got some we could loan?

I've got a couple of space savers if they're any good?

Dont folk carry proper spare wheels these days? That reminds me that I should pump up mine! :grin:

Going to aim to be there about 11.00am but dont hold me to that!
Depends on traffic/roadworks etc.
