Has everyone gone soft since I packed in racing 17 years ago? Getting there was all part of the fun and everyone slept in their vans or campers at a 2-day meeting. Facilities at the circuits weren't exactly lush then either. Pompey to Snetterton was always a good one as we'd get to the Red Lodge transport cafe around midnight to find it crammed with other bleary-eyed racers and crews having a fortifying fry-up before tackling the final stultifyingly dull miles of the old A11 to the circuit. Anyone know if the cafe's still there? |
