as we get deeper into the Formula One Racing Season, our lounge is slowly becoming a known venue to watch the Grand Prix for racing fans in Pattaya. last sunday, we opened early for the Australian Grand Prix and welcomed three visitors from Italy. not only did they come in to watch the race, but one of them brought a few samples from his personal car model collection. our club members joined them for an exciting race and later, had an exciting race of our own on F1R ‘Strata’. as stated in my race report, it was a little messy but that was expected on this new layout. we’ll be competing again on a consecutive weekend of F1 racing action for the Malaysian Grand Prix this sunday so if you’re in the area and wish to watch with us on 3 big screen monitors in our lounge, please stop by or call for more information (phone number, address and map are just to the left on the main page of this blog).
Birthdays!
Marlowe had his birthday on sunday (March 28) and Joom celebrated hers on Tuesday (March 30). tears and ice cream cake flowed for 2 days ruining any efforts to stick to a weight loss program. everyone had a great time on both days and we also discovered that eating ice cream followed up by cold beer is a perfectly acceptable thing to do once a year. Doug came thru for his first club race on that sunday but had to run out quickly so he wasn’t able to fully participate. he’s been in this week working on his Lamborghini Gallardo custom paint job and its turned out very well. all black, slick and tricked out with all the trimmings… i think he’ll put this one into competition this weekend instead of the ‘Z’ cuz win or lose, he’ll still look good!
Thai New Year

I called in last night for an hour of fun and I have to say Doug’s car looks great, I hope this Sunday is as much fun as last Sunday.
Great place to watch the F1 GP.
