You missed out here. Apparently there was an auction to take part yourself alongside the celebs: Details hereThere will be more details on that site later, apparently. Links on left of page. I'm a bit of a motorsport fan and try and watch the ChampCar series when it gets shown (often live) here in the UK. |

Note to KM: No crashing and no spinouts Perhaps just a small bump in the rear then.  I did not just say that, did I? I must have been channeling michelle Now look what she made me say. I can't stop! ;D Just be thankful I didn't post the full version, with references to pole position and being worked on by a group of guys in the pits  |

Ahem, so yes ... only some light "racin'" (as they say in NASCAR) for KM in this race. No serious ... well, you know ... dare I put a phrase out there that could take this in a whole OTHER direction. LOL! ;D |

Never heard of a Pit Girl?? Let me here introduce the phrase "grease monkey' (http://www.answers.com/topic/grease-monkey) Grease Monkey? GT Monkey? Coincidence? I think not!! ;D |

This rocks -- Robin Quivers from the Stern show is gonna take part along with KM. I listen to Stern every day so I should be able to hear lots of dish & dirt from Robin about the race. Hopefully she'll talk about KM |

I should've known there would be some innuendo coming this way. Sorry, it's just too easy. It's michelle fault, she's a very bad influence on me Well, as they say in NASCAR "rubbing is racing". Dang, you beat me to it  I hadn't thought of that one before reading LillyKat's post, and then it hit me. I take offense at your taking offence at my reference to "guys in the pits!" I was, of course, using "guys" in the general sense. See HERE, 2nd option. Isn't that one of those pretty young things they get to interview the drivers after the race?  ;D This from someone that is buying a new computer because the old one "doesn't work", ie the clock might be a little wrong for a few days ;D So you know one end of a spanner from the other? Shall we start calling you Monkey Wench from now on (yes, I said wench) ? ;D |
