Short and Sweet

Well the narrative is written for Monday and my partner is adding the photos and dressing it up. Pretty happy with it, let's see if the County Planner thinks the same. Today is a day to start packing for the move, so short blog.
Not that there is much to write about. Villeneuve had a very good race at Road America in the NASCAR Nationwide Series by all accounts, and lead at times until an alternator lead dropped him to the back. Jacques has been making noises again about getting a seat in F1 next year, and he obviously still has the desire. I wonder if he could be more successful than Michael? Nationwide is a very competitive series so who knows? Of course it was a road course, but even the left turn brigade seem to be working them out.
We have NASCAR at Sears Point today, I'm sorry I can't come at Infineon, with a couple of superstars from Europe, Jan Magnussen and Mattias Ekstrom in the race. Ekstrom is a DTM driver, which is probably the closest thing to an F1 car with a body on, so it will be interesting to see what he does with a NASCAR. Magnussen has driven just about everything, driving the Corvette at Le Mans last weekend. I met him when he came to Panoz back in the late 90's and I remember his first test in the car at Road Atlanta. Cold December day, track damp, never sat in the car before, and in 14 laps beat any else's time. So he may actually do better that Mattias.
British MotoGP run and won as predicted by Lorenzo. Only 15 bikes started, and Lorenzo won going away. Spies did well to get third with apparently a fractured ankle, but I have to wonder if this is all imploding? You cannot keep fielding that few riders and only 12 finishing, and no real racing.
