Srrh,
As the socio-anarchist banker I am, I will continue my banking job in order to ensure a proper financial income for the household!
But, Greg will be working full time on the track with the various activities we will be developing, and I expect to spend my evenings and weekends there certainly for some time (sure, I'll be racing around to test the equipment a lot too!!!).
It's going to take hard work, but hey, when it's working with something you really love, there is no problem.
So, next time you are flying through Geneva, be sure to miss your connecting flight!

Greg & Henrik - Huge Congrats to the Two of You !! Was it hard keeping it a secret (from all of us) I have to admit ... I don't expect my plans to take me anywhere near your new enterprise in the forseeable future ... if they did ... I'd block off a week or so to help you iron out some of the refurbishing wrinkles you're bound to encounter. Again .... congratulations ... and I wish you all the success in the world !!! CFF PS: Greg ..... I think my guess was close too ... you too WERE having a baby ... it was just a baby of a different type

Well congratulations on your enterprise, and best of luck! I don't have any European travel plans on the horizon, but your track will have to be on the agenda when the time comes. A fantasy of mine for awhile is to model the Spa-Francorchamps circuit for carts...A little bit of a roller-coaster ride thru Eau-Rouge.
The website is on "MyFavourites" Cine_...

Cine and da Silva, Although we are starting out with an indoor track which for obvious reasons can't be made to resemble Spa, we do have some future plans for a real competion outdoor circuit. If that should ever happen, you can be certain that with the racing passion that the three of us have (we are three in this project, Greg, myself and a very good friend) that circuit will be a mix of all the great corners of F1 tracks from across the world. Take a look at Mika Salo's go kart track for inspiration www.mikasalocircuit.com

Glendo! Sorry, yes we would need staff! I'm not clear exactly on what right now though, as we will be trying to keep some of the guys currently working on the track, but yes we certainly will be needing people!! When can you come?

Hey this is great news. I'll definately hop across the chanel for a weekend and come and helpout with the renovations. My jeans stay up so no crack showing LOL! hendrik, you better learn that circuit quickly, I'm refining my technique as we speak. Great venture gusy and I wish you all the best with it. Perhaps we should arrange a shamu GP as the Christening Event. There are quite a few of us close enough to fly over and tickets aren't too expensive. Perhaps we should put it too avote. No vote needed just a formal invite from Greg and Hendrik

Will you be hiring any male escorts to keep the ladies happy?
If so - I can come work at the track for a mere 100K Euros (a year)...
We'll tell Emily I'm a programmer... (ooops thats what I tell her now!!!!) ;D

DO YOU CALL WORKING FROM 9 AM TO 11PM FUN??
God this is exhausting! But a lot of fun too. We had loads of kids today and I really enjoyed watching them. They were so excited when they got out of the karts, we all cheered and made them feel like champs.
My favourite time of the day? COUNTING THE MONEY!!!!!!! Not too bad for a start, we're all happy.
We're just waiting for you guys to come here.
Glendoooooooooooooooooo - I need a GOOD bartender, you have to learn French fast!!!!!
