Wow, the crazy week continues!  I had a bit of a scare last night, as I earned myself a trip to the hospital at midnight.  Turns out as we were closing up the shop, I kicked over a floor heater which caught on fire…I was literally alight!  At first, I just thought my leg was hot, then I saw flames – and doused it with my hand. 

All told, I have burns on all five fingers & palm of my left hand, which is sufficiently bandaged – and my left calf.  Again, what we do in the name of sport…that’s racing! If you can’t laugh at yourself sometimes, who can?

In other news, the preparation for the weekend run continues.  I haven’t gotten off course for my CPC UK Legends racing – I’m off with teammate Paul Musselle to do press day Friday before qualifying and practice, then out of the gates Saturday in the three-heat races.  Hoping for a great finish!

My first blog with Sporting News was also posted today in NASCAR Unrestricted – I’m quite excited.  It’s a chance to watch my story unfold over the next few months.  I hope I can make it interesting, fun and give a new take on being an international driver in a BIG racing world.

Cracking on…albeit with one arm and one leg for the time being!
