Charlie,

Please add me to the list, the highlight of my summer every other year and a cannot miss event.

If I recall I made the mistake of not getting a paddock pass along with my general entry ticket last time and they were not or very limited availability over the weekend.

Thanks for taking this on once again,
Julian
