Then come to Castle Combe and watch me race (hopefully, unless I crash, break down, switch the car off or even degenerate into a sobbing heap through the stress of it all).

I'll be in the Supergraduates race, number 133...

Looks as though Mechsympathy is going to have quite a fan club - no pressure there then!

This holiday Monday makes me so angry! When I was at uni everything closed down, we never had it celebrated at our school, so it was foreign to me when I went south to uni! I just wanted to get work done at the uni, but everything was shut!

If I tried to come home on the friday, there would be people who are unfamiliar to a motorway in front of me and driving at 50! Or caravans, or trucks passing caravans or bloody traffic jams, everyone trying to get into Scotland, no doubt. The fact is we don't want holiday makers either!

Good to see you Bill. I made it 22nd ... about right? You were clearly having a good race - it swapped backwards and forwards most of the race. thumbup

im afraid we missed your race as we had a lazy morning and only arrived at about 2pm. i did spot your car in the paddock but you were no-where to be found so we just went to the last corner to watch the rest of the races.

the other caterham races did look very entertaining.

it was a fun afternoon and very nice of the rain gods to stay away.

I, on the other hand, was too tight to pay the £2.50 to get into the paddock. Insert general moan about ticket prices here.
