I ain't talking Autoglym neither!

It's going to be a few months before I get back out with you guys - but in the mean time, I'm raising money for Air Ambulance charities through (a) racing at Rockingham in the SCSA V8 Trophy, and (b) doing crazy things like........

Oh my god I've been really stitched up this time.

Having my legs waxed in the cause of charity. What's more, it'll probably be televised (oh the infamy!) and in the press (double infamy - they've got it in for me!)

How may tenths of a second per lap it'll save me, I don't know. But now it's YOUR turn.

Who's going to sponsor me then?

Hopefully, none of us, drivers, crew, or spectators, will ever need the services of these volunteers. Let's remember that - they are all volunteers, the Air Ambulance's that support our race meetings in England & Wales are all funded by charitable donations, not by the NHS, not by HM Government, but by people putting their hands in their pockets, either by straightforward donation, or sponsorship of fun events (fun? yeah right!) like my pain and torture on Sunday 24th June, at Rockingham Motor Speedway, in the pit garage of Team Air Ambulance - Car 59.

Tickets for the meeting (£10)are available from the 24hr Ticket Hotline - 0870 735 5000 quoting reference "Air Ambulance". That gives the Air Ambulance charity in YOUR area £2 from every ticket sold. There's a £1 booking fee per ticket, and a £2 total transaction fee. It's cheaper than buying them on the day (£15 on the gate).

If you're kind enough to donate, please contact my "manager" (wife!) suzanne@ot2.co.uk with your details and donation. With it being such a great cause, how about a fiver a leg then?
