Oh and a free corner for me too

Btw glad you got enough people Jeff - having organised these things before, I know how difficult it can be... good luck! I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Cheers

Just a thought, with Josh having passed over to the "other side", will we have to rename our team "The Good, the Blobeye, and the Fugly"? Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, somehow......

Or perhaps " The Good, the Blobeye and the Airfix Kit Car on the AA Relay Truck"?

All I'll say is that the last time our team raced we were in first place for some 15 laps, before some of the aforementioned jockey types sneaked past. One lap down at the end isn't bad for us, but what was unusual about that race was that not only were we running a lot nearer the front than usual, but we had no black flags IIRC. The difference from our normal performance could possibly be attributable to the fact that you looked out the window, realised it was raining, rolled over and went back to sleep leaving your team mates to hold the fort as Matt alluded to above.

We could always post our times on here after the race as long as everyone else promises not to laugh....

I'm keeping the STi for the time being

Lucky it's not Daytona MK, you'd come to a standstill on the uphill bits

Black flag? Only once for me in my whole karting career (or was it twice )

Hurricanes and plagues of locusts permitting, i'm sure i'll manage to get my ar$e out of bed this time, if only to spoil you and Mr Josh's day

As a side issue, is there anyone going to the karting from the Swindon area (or anywhere west of the M25) that would have room for four tyres (no wheels) to take back for me for someone in Swindon to collect? - courier wants an arm and a leg to deliver Petrol contribution will be made!

Thanks

That's a shame (whisper mode) I quite like Tuscans(whisper mode off).

"One or two black flags in your entire karting career"???? Apart from the oxymoronic use of karting career,IIRC you got more than that in one race the last time out

So you *are* getting a Tuscan then Carolyn? It's funny because Dave told me it wasn't happening but I think we know who's really making the decisions huh?

I *think* it's 10am sign on for 10:30 breifing and practise start followed by race start at 11:00 which means it will finish at 14:00.

Should be away by 14:30-15:00.

After the cocktail of performance enhancing drugs that my team has been taking for the past two weeks...I guess its a little late to ask if there will be drug testing against these suplements...its just that we can't seem to ween SteveB of the horse steriods!!!

There is certainly a very strict drug testing regime in our team to the extent that drivers will be automatically excluded if they haven't had enough

And presumably that applies equally to the "Food Testing Regime"

Just because we are well built and you're not..No lard in my diet, although there were about 11 pints yesterday (I'm sure that someone has changed all the keys on my keyboard around this morning), followed by three burgers, about 4 hours of tortured sleep, followed by bowl of cereal, 2 toasted bacon sarnies, 3 toast and marmalade and myriad cups of coffee. So maybe a little bit of lard, still I'm sure Schumi has the same pre race regime

Bad news on the weather front,I'm afraid, dry, bright and cold :-(

That's bad news because team 'The not so good, the blob, and the fugly' suffer from increased drag in such conditions, which allows the rest of you anorexics to sail past.

Personally, I'm in full training. I've walked to the car and back twice today, and I'm on my 3rd cow pie

Yeah, and i'm gonna bloody freeze!

It's alright for my team mates, the Michelin Man and his big brother, who are carrying enough blubber to make a polar bear sweat
