Good question.....

I wouldnt mind having a bit of a shake down, but with Optimax not being available and other SUL running out it may be a bit tricky.

Will see what happens around here today and tomorrow. I was also looking at going to Wales tomorrow to get the car decalled ready for Thursday, but that also looks like it wont happen.

I really need to get on, on Thursday.... as with the present setup the car aint gonna pass for normal sound regs!

The car is fair from finished, but it will be a good bench mark.

They'll cancel it, if there's any snow or icy patches on the track.

I can remember a few years back when there were only a few small icy patches, the start was delayed until they'd thawed.

The temps for tomorrow don't look very good for any thawing to take place.

Minimum temp for tonight in Derby area is -6 deg C with freezing fog and 1 deg C during the day tomorrow
