    Excellent, one of the funniest things I've read in a long time

    Do you need race numbers? The one thing I forgot on my first sprint...

    Last year it was stickers aplenty for all you race car needs.

    Pre-printed with enough logos to please even the most name concious fashion victim.

    Last day for prep... looks like its gonna be a busy day!

    Of the 2 nuts you can get to on the tubby elbow one was loose and one was missing! Seeing as im already missing oneof the ones from the underside this may be why it was blownig. Popped a nut and it seems to be better but ill tighten the under side ones too.

    Guess it might be an idea to make a list of stuff i need to do before the weekend : -

    Reread the drivers pack properly and make sure ive not missed owt
    Get the car back from burnley
    Get sticker pack and tickets from the post office and fit the stickers

    Finish the splitter (needs Paint. )
    Fit the fire extinguisher
    Fit bonnet pins
    Cut down, fit and seal the standard plank spoiler
    Refit bits of trim as my cage is not going to be here in time
    Get and fit seat It didnt arrive in time
    Swap 2 tyres over
    Fireproof the front bulk head and boot floor
    Paint the towing eyes and an arrow for them
    Mark negative battery lead
    Wash helmet and race suitStill drying

    Surely on that list the splitter and spoiler are the least important things to get done?!

    The Big Gay Wing was worth about 10mph through the first corner at Snetterton last week The little boot spoiler probly has some effect too, but after Yak scared himself taking the BGW off, we never ran the car without it.
