Dunlop Targa NZ 2007: Day -1

One Day to go, and we're finally ready to go - almost. Last minute preparations take more than minutes and plans are found to work better when they're elastic.

Things we learned today: Incorrectly wiring a kill switch may cause fire. We will never be signwriters. Nevertheless, we now have a fully stickered-up car that's not on fire.

Things we already knew but were reminded of: Alan, our mechanic for the week, is a champion. Despite our unreasonable demands and lateness he effortlessly replaced all the rear rubber bushings with IPD's polyurethane versions (arrived just in time!). Proof to us once more that this would be much tougher, if not impossible without him.

Tomorrow will be my baptism by the aforementioned fire, but hopefully the metaporical kind.
So now to get some rest before my first competion start tomorrow!
