Absolutely interested, even if you curse word on my parade by letting another, far more powerful Sprint run up the hill!

I don't know if HoTWire has organised any video work, I was planning on setting my camera in a good location and shooting a time lapse video of the paddock shuffles just for curse word and giggles

Excellent - if it runs like clockwork this year (third year at a venue normally does) then I can sit in a chair and not get in their way either.........

Anyway that's the Bad news - Good News - Good news out of the way for today lets chuck a few more last min dot coms into the mix

Who can resist one of these



Now tow cars and trailers are a pain in the bottom and I try to avoid them

But when someone has a tow car that is also a backup in case of Italian temperment - how can I refuse

That's all for tonight peeps

I still have a few more to share
