Tasks before Snetterton.

The race car is now officially up for sale. Even though I am about to sell the car, I do need to buy some more headlights. They have so many stone chips in them that it looks like the helicopter tape over them is the only thing that is keeping the glass from falling out. We did the fibreglass repairs, after the minor touch with Steve, whilst at the track but now the car is back home I can see that the underside could do with some improvements and there is a real need to do some sanding and a little filler to smooth out around the leading edge of the bonnet. If I get a chance, I will also do the same of the rear bodywork. I now have some more blue paint as well so I can clear up the bodywork ready for the cars sale. To cure the misfire, we have removed the carbs and given them a good clean, although there did not seem to be any dirty within them. Obviously as part of that we have also taken the airbox off and after a little fiddling around we have re-seated the box. Personally I think that was the culprit but it would have be stupid not to check the carbs out whilst we were on the job. So bar a quick test to make sure the engine is on full song, we are ready to fly at Snetterton at the end of the month. There has been lots of talk about what I need to do to wrap up the championship but as it depends upon what results Gordon, Mike and Rob get, I have decided the best approach is just to go out and aim for pole and 2 race wins. So far my record at Snetterton is as follows.

• Race 1 (2006, 2nd ever race) 3rd place after a minor spin
• Race 2 (2006 3rd ever race) Disqualified after finishing 1st
• Race 3 (end of 2006 season) Race win
• Race 4 (2007) Race win
• Race 5 (2007) Race win.
