It's all about the toasties - 10 / 10 / 06

As the indoor season draws ever closer (22nd October) Ross has made the startling announcement that the racing is only of secondary importance on any given sunday to the rather splendid toasted sandwiches on offer at the TRAK's indoor venue.

Ross went on to say that he had missed them so much he had been forced to make a complete mess of his own kitchen in order to make some. After several less than sucessful attempts Ross was pleased to announce that he had "gotten them pretty much spot-on although the balance between cheese and pineapple is a tricky one" When asked about his racing and set-ups Ross was quick to turn the subject back to tosaties "Well obviously i'll be racing this winter but to be honest i'm more interested in the food and having a laugh"

Of course in between eating toasties I've built 3 TC3's in the past few weeks (who knew I had that many parts in the spares box! lol) Two of which have been sold on and the third has been set-up ready to contest the indoor season. I've got to admit I don't really expect to do much this winter, (and this is the first of many times you'll hear these excuses!) as in my absence from racing in the past 6 or 7 months i'll no doubt have gotten a bit rusty (well alright, 'rustier' then!!!) and some of the other guys (ha, pun!) have been coming on in leaps and bounds nationally during the summer. Jamie, Jason, Sean, Wayne, Doody, Pauls, Adrian and co have done well in the BTCC and will be hard to beat. Then there's your Malc's, new Paul and a few others i've forgotten who are always on the pace. It really will be tough to make an 'A' Final this winter...so at this point i'd like to trot out some excuses that i'll be using old 3800 cells from last winter and motors from the last year or two. Not that it'll matter, my driving will be so bad for the first few meetings that you won't notice! ;-)

The car all ready and awaiting battle! ;-)

So here's looking forward to the 11 TRAK Indoor meetings this winter, i'm sure we'll have fun, and then it'll be time for the 2007 BTCC.....and i'll be there this time!!!
