The wait is painful! And this one is only for 3 weeks. Having stepped out the car after the last timed run at Aintree, the next time I’ll be back behind the wheel is the first practice run at Snetterton.

That’s not entirely a comfortable thought! I’d love to have done another track/test day but funds and time haven’t allowed it. If Snetterton doesn’t go well, I’ll have to review my debt mountain and see if I can get out before Blyton!

Oh – and I’m a stone down since my Rockingham track day on April 1st. That’s one thing that all this waiting around is good for. Plenty of time to eat salad and go to the gym. The pace of others in the group (you all know who you are) was enough to convince me that carrying additional spare tyres in the drivers seat wasn’t a good idea. I don’t know if I can shift them all – but I’ve at least shed one of them.
