DeTomaso Mailing List: December 2000, Message #8

Please contact me if you want to book with the UK DTDC club, the club has a
perpetual booking at a very nice small hotel owned by a DT nut. Any spare
rooms are normally offered to other super car clubs however I would imagine
fellow DT owners would be welcome.

I believe it is impossible to book a hotel near the circuit which leaves
camping around the track, the sites are very basic (portaloo + tap), very
few have showers. I last visited the race about 10 years ago when Jaguar won
which was a great laugh, I have a friend who goes every year and he knows
the best spots etc.

I'm hoping to go, but this always happens close to our industry trade show,
so I haven't been able to attend recently.



Got any info on how/where to order tickets? Cost?

My Jag friend, who is the one I terrorize when I need his lathe, or welding
capability, was very excited to hear about this. We might be going in my
car.
His V12 Jag is in a sad state and I doubt that he will have it running by
then.

I will (hopefully!) have the EFI running long before this. The oxygen
sensors in
the headers were done tonight, and I'm currently awaiting delivery of the
intake.

He's taking his GT5-S and convoying with a buddy in his TVR, we're pitching
tents in a campground right next to the track for the weekend...
