Think of the possibilities (and cost take outs) for SB. Hospitality (and possibly the season ending banquet) can be combined with a new race car. Plus, when you're stuck in a gravel trap (are you listening GT ? ) waiting for the wrecker, you can have an energy boosting snack !

Wow... Semi-Sweet...

Delicious idea but the test footage is awful. The drivetrain sounds exactly like a Skippy car and the top speed is about the same so maybe we're looking at the next generation SB car?

The school car could be milk chocolate, the regional car semi-sweet and the national full bitter/dark chocolate.

Would the national car(s) be full of nuts ?

You made NO new friends with that one!

The car is doomed from the get-go. Where other race cars go quicker as the fuel is consumed, this one will slow down as the driver gains weight.

So our relationship has come down to this.... innocent me being accuised, wrongly I might add , of being stuck in a gravel trap!! How preposterous!! As most of you know, (with exception to my good friend Harsha, whio alleges the I was stuck in a gravel trap wtih him once, completely untrue, we were delibertly parked there having a chat about ttrack conditions in that corner), I use the gravel traps as extra racing surface and a passing area.

With repect to your comment about an getting energy boost - I think you will all agree that the last thing I need is a boost in energy - I am wired enough!!!!!!

Your avatar pretty much busts you on the first count and I'm in total agreement with you on the second.

Did that really happen?? I was convinced it was a waking dream-state, or some kind of hallucination. I mean, one second I am speeding into Turn 1 after having gotten the best exit of my life from Turn 14 and drafted by some guy with this wierd helmet paint job WELL before start-finish, and the next I am sitting in the Turn 1 gravel trap having a cup of tea with a strange Canadian as the entire grid of the local Skip Barber race weekend goes past. I'm thinking, "Wow, these are some great seats! If only I had some chocolate! But...how did I get here? Must...escape.......ugh......can...not...move..." You know how it is in dreams when you try to run but your legs won't cooperate? It was just like that. I was in a race car, but it was like I was trapped in some really sticky substance. Finally, after what seemed like hours, I was racing again, but now I was at the back of the pack. What a nightmare!

And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?

(Don't think I have EVER been in a gravel trap that that song has not instantly popped into my head )

Or many an episode of Batman with Bill's equally amazing American action counterpart, Adam West! Would love to see those two on Dancing With The Stars...as partners.
