Decisions on the three bids, and any others, are expected in August.The St Helens chief executive and coach, David Howes and Shaun McRae, have denied that they have been headhunted to lead a Swansea franchise.”It’s a rumour I have heard, but there has been no approach to either of us,” Howes said.Neither man would comment on suggestions that their positions at Saints had been undermined by the return of Eric Hughes – sacked as coach by Howes and replaced by McRae – to the club as operations manager.. The League will want to see evidence that, alongside the excellent facilities, there is the finance in place to build a respectable side.Cardiff will submit their official application today and will argue that their case is stronger than that of Swansea and that they meet all the criteria for membership. The Rugby League revealed yesterday that Gateshead, a development area since 1993 who have been competing at Academy level since 1996, had put in their submission for a franchise based at the council-run International Stadium in the town.
The stadium has already hosted Charity Shield and international matches and will stage two matches during Super League’s jaunt around the country in July. His navigator, Vincent Geake, and weather expert, David Houghton, have been hunched over computers from breakfast onwards for the last three days.Paul Cayard has the winner’s trophy already in bag for EF Language, but few would begrudge him a fourth leg win out of nine..
GATESHEAD and Cardiff have joined Swansea in applying for Super League membership for next season. Dalton would like to be chasing Gunnar Krantz, second in Swedish Match by 36 points. Instead, he must look over his shoulder not just at Chessie, but at Britain’s Lawrie Smith, who is in a predatory mood on the shark-emblazoned Silk Cut.Smith is 33 points behind Dalton and 23 behind Chessie, but has his eye firmly fixed on a top three place. Substitutes used: S Blanks ( Leicester), L Copeland (Slough), J Bimson (Loughborough Students), F Greenham (Olton).. THE moody English Channel promises to settle the fate of a few reputations on the last leg of the Whitbread Round the World Race, which starts from here this afternoon. Every scrap of weather information and tidal knowledge has been harvested as navigators prepared for a wet start to the 450-mile sprint from this historic French port to Southampton.
A light and fickle weather system is forecast, which is just what the crews and the organisers hoping for a midday finish on the Solent on Sunday could do without.In between a rock and a hard place is the third-placed Grant Dalton, whose Merit Cup is just 10 points ahead of George Collins’ Chessie Racing Every place on this leg is worth 10 points. Substitutes used: C Giles ( Southgate), M Pearn (Reading), J Wallis (Teddington), A Humphrey (Cannock).ENGLAND WOMEN: C Reid (Hightown); J Empson (Canterbury), K Brown (Slough), M Clewlow (Canterbury), J Mould (Leicester); L Wright (Olton), K Bowden (Leicester, capt), K Moore (Olton); J Sixsmith (Sutton Coldfield), P Miller (Leicester), J Smith (Slough).
The final nail, however, came four minutes into the second half when the defence gave Pablo Amat a free shot at Simon Mason, who had made a series of fine saves in the first half, for Spain’s second.
Spain continued to control the game, scoring their third through Pablo Usoz before Mark Pearn, following up Calum Giles sixth penalty corner attempt, scored England’s consolation.England women’s heroic performance against their hosts came to naught as they twice conceded the lead to lose 3-2 to the Dutch in an exciting game of high class that thrilled a large crowd in excess of 14,000.ENGLAND MEN: S Mason (Reading); B Garrard (Teddington), J Wyatt (Reading), J Halls (HDM The Hague), B Waugh (Southgate, capt); D Woods (Southgate), J Pidcock (Cannock), N Thompson (Old Loughtonians); B Sharpe (Cannock), R Garcia (HDM The Hague), J Lee (Old Loughtonians). IT WAS a disappointing day for England at the World Cup here yesterday when the women went down courageously 3-2 to the Dutch and the men were well beaten 3-1 by Spain, the Olympic silver medallists. Despite a promising start, England men never regained control after a 10-minute goal from Victor Pujol following a penalty corner, unnecessarily conceded by the England captain Bill Waugh. Adrian Newey, McLaren’s technical director, said: “Schumacher is always the major worry.”The German said he was unperturbed by the accident which broke the front left wheel of his car He said: “I was trying too hard and lost it. But although we are behind the McLarens, the gap is not too big.”Damon Hill was a meagre 17th after another troubled day in the Jordan- Mugen and he had time to stand and admire the work of Schumacher. “He has fantastic car control and he’s always on the case,” Hill said.Eddie Irvine in the other Ferrari, was sixth, and Johnny Herbert, in a Sauber, seventh.
Rosset was later warned by the stewards as to his future conduct.Villeneuve was ninth and Rosset 18th. Hakkinen, the championship leader, registered the fastest time yesterday, although his team-mate and closest rival, David Coulthard, was beaten to second place by Giancarlo Fisichella, driving a Benetton-Mecachrome.Schumacher was placed fifth, but his stunning driving in the Ferrari raised hopes that he might present a genuine threat to McLaren on Sunday. Flavio Briatore, former team principal at Benetton, is to take charge of the Mecachrome engine development from next year.LEADING PRACTICE TIMES (Monaco Grand Prix): 1 M Hakkinen (Fin) McLaren- Mercedes 1min 21.937sec; 2 G Fisichella (It) Benetton-Mecachrome 1:22.205; 3 D Coulthard (GB) McLaren-Mercedes; 1:22.757 4 H H Frentzen (Ger) Williams- Renault 1:23.656; 5 M Schumacher (Ger) Ferrari 1:23.685; 6 E Irvine (GB) Ferrari 1:23.765; 7 J Herbert (GB) Sauber-Petronas 1:23.914; 8 A Wurz (Aut) Benetton-Mecachrome 1:23.946; 9 J Villeneuve (Can) Williams-Renault 1:24.081; 10 J Trulli (It) Prost-Peugeot 1:24.191 11 P Diniz (Bra) Arrows- Yamaha 1:24.735; 12 J Alesi Sauber-Petronas 1:24.901; 13 O Panis Prost- Peugeot 1:25.119; 14 M Salo (Fin) Arrows-Yamaha 1:25.400; 15 J Magnussen (Den) Stewart-Ford 1:25.836; 16 R Barrichello (Bra) Stewart-Ford 1:25.863; 17 D Hill (GB) Jordan-Mugen-Honda 1:25.947; 18 R Rosset (Bra) Tyrrell- Ford 1:26.625; 19 T Takagi (Japan) Tyrrell-Ford 1:26.761; 20 R Schumacher (Ger) Jordan-Mugen-Honda 1:27.160; 21 E Tuero (Arg) Minardi-Ford1:27.844; 22 S Nakano (Japan) Minardi-Ford 1:28.652.. He shouldn’t have been overtaking there anyway.”Ironically, the man who took on Rosset – a decision which caused Ken Tyrrell to walk out in disgust – is Villeneuve’s former manager, Craig Pollock. As Rosset gave his version of events, Pollock could not contain a revealing grin. “I think if Jacques sees me he’ll punch me on the nose,” he said. He insisted, however, this crash was not his fault: “I didn’t see him I was concentrating on my lap That was not an overtaking point.
Two cars cannot go through there.”He shouted at me a bit but I don’t know what he said. But I suppose it’s good that some drivers are paying to be in Formula One,” he added with heavy sarcasm.Rosset, who contributed $5m (pounds 3.08m) to Tyrrell’s budget this season, has been roundly criticised for his lack of pace and awareness. He missed the cut in qualifying at Barcelona, a fortnight ago. Not that the circuit can take credit, or blame, for catching out Villeneuve at the end of practice. The Canadian had no doubt the responsibility was entirely Ricardo Rosset’s.
The climax of the day which saw Mika Hakkinen take his familiar place at the top and Michael Schumacher smash into the barrier exiting Casino Square, came when Villeneuve and Rosset collided negotiating a right-hander and the former leapt from his Williams to admonish the Brazilian.Changed into his civvies and revealing his blue-tinged white hair, the Canadian had no inclination to moderate his opinions “He has no right to be in Formula One,” Villeneuve said “I went over to him and pointed to his mirrors.
Malcolm Bruce, the Liberal Democrat spokesman, said it did not go far enough, and would vote against the proposals in the Finance Bill.Answering the charge that the “fat cats” had gone free, Mr Clarke said: “It’s total nonsense. The CBI also welcomed the move but Archie Norman, chief executive of the Asda group and one of the most vociferous critics of last week’s changes, said a campaign for further changes would continue.David Shaw, the Tory MP leading the campaign to stop the tax, was also unhappy because the Chancellor had not abandoned the whole scheme. Both ideas were rejected by Mr Clarke.Sir David Lees, a member of the Greenbury team that began the debacle, said the Chancellor “had acted wisely” yesterday. The inquiry by Sir Richard Greenbury, chairman of Marks & Spencer, was set up at the request of Mr Major to deal with the “fat cats” but now they will be allowed to cash in their executive share options without paying income tax on the profits.It is also unlikely to satisfy Sir Richard, who wanted the Chancellor to target the “fat cats” by imposing the tax on those with higher earnings, or bigger profits from share options. Downing Street was anxious to avoid further damage to Mr Major’s attempts to restore confidence after the leadership election.But it represented a set-back for the Prime Minister’s drive to tackle excessive boardroom pay-outs for the public utilities chiefs. There was no way of doing it without causing anomalies by trying to draw lines.”Gordon Brown, the Shadow Chancellor, last night said Mr Clarke’s U-turn – the second he has been forced to make this year – had let the utility bosses off scot-free.There were strong indications last night that Mr Clarke was forced to perform his hasty retreat under pressure from John Major, the Prime Minister, to sort out the mess before they both left for their summer holidays tomorrow.
There will be no attempt by the Treasury to end the tax break for those before that date.Sweeping aside claims that he had shown incompetence, Mr Clarke said: “I looked at various options for drawing a dividing line between fat cats and little cats Distinctions of any kind would be quite impractical. Kenneth Clarke, the Chancellor, was forced into a humiliating retreat over executive share options yesterday – allowing the so-called “fat cat” chiefs of the public utilities to escape higher taxation. Mr Clarke announced he was abandoning his plans to tax retrospectively executive share options for 200,000 people because of the public outcry over the way it would hit some shopfloor workers, including Asda supermarket check-out workers.
The Chancellor will go ahead in his Budget in November with taxing as income executive share options obtained on or after 17 July, the day on which he made his “dawn raid” to coincide with publication of the Greenbury committee report on boardroom pay. We have had reports of Labour Party tellers chasing Liberal activists down the streets because the Liberals are pulling Labour posters off the Methodist polling station.”A senior Labour Party spokesman insisted: “Our decision to take this campaign seriously has been vindicated.”Flatly rejecting accusations that party campaigners had indulged in any “dirty tricks”, he went on: “All we have done is seek to put forward positive policies and draw attention to the inconsistencies between the national leadership of the Liberal Democrats and the views of their candidate.”In 1992 the Tories had a majority of 4,494, with 44 per cent of the vote, compared with the Liberal Democrats’ 36 per cent and Labour on 20 per cent.The official estimate of the turnout in yesterday’s by-election was 64.5 per cent.’Moral victory’, page 2RESULTDavies (Lib Dem) 16,231Woolas (Lab) 14,238Hudson (Con) 9,934Others 1,733Lib Dem majority 1,993Turnout 64.5%.
The dispute was only the last in a campaign in which Peter Mandelson, the highly public “minder” to Labour’s Phil Woolas, had been strongly criticised for exploiting support for examining the case for decriminalising cannabis.With the Tories forced into the role of bystanders in the last week of the campaign, one Conservative official said yesterday: “The hot weather has brought out the worst in the Liberal Democrat and Labour parties. It brings to 33 the number oif successive by-elections which the Tories have failed to win since they held the Yorkshire seat of Richmond in 1989.And while the Tories fared markedly worse than they did in the Eastleigh by-election – where they also came third – in June last year, Labour demonstrated its resurgence by improving significantly on its own showing at Eastleigh, where it had only 28 per cent of the vote.A notably acrimonious and personal campaign between the two opposition parties – which will be widely seen as at least a temporary setback to the tentative overtures about mutual co-operation from both Mr Ashdown and Mr Blair – was still being bitterly fought as voters went to the polls.The Liberal Democrats cried foul over free copies of a special issue of the Daily Mirror circulated in the constituency which included a report about Mr Davies’s failed marketing and public relations business. The Labour vote rose by 14 percentage points over its showing in the general election.But Mr Ashdown declared: “Even with the Labour hype of the last year, and the fact they’ve thrown everything into winning this by-election, the Liberal Democrats have proved that when it comes to real votes in real ballot boxes, the British people choose Liberal Democrats to defeat the Government.”The victorious Mr Davies said last night that the people of Littleborough and Saddleworth had “spoken for Britain” and that the result showed that the electorate not only wanted changes but a party that said “how they will be carried out and how they will be paid for”.Although the Conservative vote held up better than some of its supporters had feared, the result will still deeply disappoint the Tories, coming three weeks after John Major’s successful “put up or shut up” challenge to his party opponents. The party secured 34 per cent of the vote after an aggressive campaign against Mr Davies which had seen Tony Blair make three separate visits to the Pennine constituency. After seizing the once-safe Tory seat with a less than 2,000- vote majority over Labour, Paddy Ashdown’s jubilant supporters were early today celebrating a result which will reassure his party that it still remains a pivotal force in British politics despite Tony Blair’s appeal to the centre ground.
Mr Ashdown said that the victory of the Liberal Democrats’ Chris Davies – the party’s fourth straight by-election gain from the Tories since the 1992 general election – was “a superb result” and added: “The Government’s majority has tonight been cut to single figures by a Liberal Democrat victory.”Labour’s second place was a record-breaking advance from third place in 1992. The Liberal Democrats last night beat off a formidable Labour challenge to win the Littleborough and Saddleworth by-election in a narrow but decisive victory that left the Tories trailing as the clear losers in third place.

I shudder to think what would happen to them if they were suddenly put in charge of, say, the science department of a comprehensive school.I’m glad I left education. The department always massively overspends its budget and the turnover of staff is high. Yet the firm is so profitable that management do not have to answer for their mistakes. The department I work for is top heavy with managers, most of whom have little in the way of project-management skills or people-management skills. As a product never was released on time, much of their day was taken up in devising ways of pretending that it had been – such as giving poor-quality pre-releases to “privileged” customers.
Hardly anyone gets rewarded, however brilliant they are, and that makes the elaborate objective-setting and appraisals even more pointless.The private sector knows how to manage.In one of the companies I have worked for, senior management were entirely driven by the bonuses they were supposed to get when a product was released on time. First, an enormous and quite unnecessary amount of time is spent in setting objectives, conducting appraisals and filling in endless bits of paper. Second, it rewards people who are pushy and ambitious, rather than those who do their work quietly and efficiently Third, in times of hardship it is hugely demoralising. My last firm, despite talking about “quality” all the time, and sending all staff on quality courses, was always more than ready to sacrifice quality to speed of delivery – despite being slaves to BS5750, the British standard that is supposed to ensure that companies follow the correct procedures in their work.The private sector rewards good performance.Performance-related pay sounds great, but as an idea it’s intellectually redundant There are at least three things wrong with it. It would be intolerable.The private sector cares about quality.

The improvement in the margin reflects the successful effortsto aggressively reduce deposit and other borrowing costs during the quarter.Moderating the favorable impact of lower costs of interest bearing liabilitieswas the increase in non-performing assets that lowered the effective yield onthese assets.”While we believe the economy may begin to improve by the end of 2009, we stillexpect a difficult operating environment over the next several quarters,” saidSanchez.

We are confident that our solid capitalization andliquidity positions, combined with the ongoing growth of our wholesale mortgagedivision and the recent expansion of the residential mortgage market, havepositioned us well to navigate through the remainder of 2009 and take advantageof any improvements in our markets.”About Coastal Banking Company Inc.Coastal Banking Company Inc., based in Beaufort, S.C., is the $476.4million-asset bank holding company of CBC National Bank, which operates asLowcountry National Bank in Beaufort, S.C., First National Bank of Nassau Countyin Fernandina Beach, Fla., and The Georgia Bank in Meigs, Ga. Noninterest income in the first quarter of2009 was $2.2 million, double the $1.1 million earned in the fourth quarter of2008 resulting from a significant increase in the gain on sale of mortgageloans. “Despite this possibility, wewill continue to aggressively recognize problem loans and maintain an adequateloan-loss reserve level to cover potential losses based on conservativeassessments of underlying collateral values.”Net interest income before provision for loan losses in the first quarter of2009 totaled $2.4 million, an increase of $0.2 million from $2.2 million earnedduring the final quarter of 2008. Net loans charged off during thequarter ended March 31, 2009 were $2.2 million, a decline of 65 percent from thelevel of net loans charged off in the prior quarter ended Dec 31, 2008. Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $4.3million, down by $0.3 from the fourth quarter of 2008 on lower levels of loancollection related costs.The rise in net interest income reflects an improvement in the company’s netinterest margin, reversing a trend of compression experienced over the priorfour consecutive quarters, and comes despite the downward pressure from theincreased level of nonaccrual loans.Net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, was 2.21 percent, anincrease of 19 basis points over the 2.02 percent recorded during the fourthquarter of 2008. Whilestill an unacceptably high level of loan charge-offs, the company is encouragedby the large reduction.Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans at March 31, 2009, were 7.97percent, compared to 5.98 percent at the end of the previous quarter The rateof increase declined quarter over quarter.

Other real estate owned at March 31, 2009declined slightly to $5.4 million, compared to $5.8 million at Dec. 31, 2008.”The consecutive quarter decline in charge-offs and other real estate owned, andthe declining rate of increase in nonaccrual loans during the first quarter of2009 are possible indicators that the slump in the real estate and housingmarkets is beginning to bottom out,” said Sanchez. This represents a near doubling ofthe $122.0 million in loans originated for sale in the secondary market duringthe fourth quarter of 2008.”After generating organic growth of more than eight percent in our portfolioloans during 2008, we expanded our efforts to originate residential real estateloans for sale in the secondary market in the first quarter of 2009, nearlydoubling our funding levels from the prior quarter,” said Sanchez. “We feel thatwe can best serve the credit needs of our markets during this current financialcrisis by continuing to emphasize wholesale residential mortgage loanoriginations, especially as we continue to leverage our proceeds from theTreasury Department’s TARP program.”The company increased the allowance for loan losses to $5.6 million at March 31,2009, or 1.83 percent of loans outstanding, from $4.8 million, or 1.59 percentof loans outstanding, at the end of 2008. This portfolio shrinkage was morethan offset by growth in residential real estate loans, which totaled $107.2million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $3.6 million, or 3.5 percent, duringthe first quarter.These loans were funded through the company’s wholesale mortgage bankingdivision, which in the first quarter of 2009 originated approximately $236.0million in loans available for sale in the secondary market, utilizing aconservative, low-risk loan product strategy.
She had no identity documents.
Since then, the woman, in her mid-forties, has claimed to be a Polish Jew, a Romanian gypsy and the jilted lover of an American serviceman in Germany. At times she has spoken fluent English, but refuses to give her name.There are reports that she is Swiss, Swedish, an English school teacher or, most recently, an Israeli. There has been speculation about a link with the discovery of a headless and armless corpse that washed ashore on Cyprus last week.The latest twist is that the woman, who has a flower tattooed on her stomach, says she wants to join a convent, but only if she can have male visitors. The request has met with some scepticism from the Greek Orthodox Church.Frustrated police officers are losing patience. “If you ask me, she should be arrested,” said Inspector Haris Tsadiotis, who is heading the investigation.
“If she were restricted for a couple of days, then she would talk and tell us who she is.”. The risk of an imminent rise in interest rates receded yesterday after figures from Britain and America showed both economies weakening. But growth in Britain is still fast enough for the Bank of England to repeat its call for higher base rates. Another disagreement between the Bank’s Governor, Eddie George, and the Chancellor, Kenneth Clarke, is on the cards when they meet in two weeks’ time.
Revised figures for GDP in the first quarter showed that growth was weaker than first estimated.
It was the latest in a series of recent figures backing the Chancellor, who argued at his last meeting with Mr George that the economy was slowing enough without higher interest rates.”It is probably not enough to alter the advice the Governor will give, but if Mr Clarke was not persuaded last time he will not have changed his mind,” said David Miles, an economist at the investment bank Merrill Lynch.Separate figures on the US economy brought additional relief on the interest rate outlook. Last month saw the steepest fall in new orders for durable goods since December 1991, confirming the slowdown across the Atlantic and suggesting that US interest rates might not rise any further.Despite the benign international interest rate outlook, many economists reckon there will still have to be an increase in British rates later in the year ”The economy is still growing above trend. Interest rates will go up – and not too close to the election,” said Paul Mortimer-Lee, chief economist at Paribas.Weaker construction was the main reason for the revision to Britain’s GDP, which is now estimated to have risen 0.7 per cent last quarter to a level 3.7 per cent higher than a year earlier. The Treasury said the new figure confirmed that the economy was growing at a more sustainable rate.
Manufacturing output was nearly flat, while output of the service industries grew strongly, as previously estimated.The GDP deflator – the widest measure of prices in the economy – brought comfort on inflation. It rose 0.2 per cent in the first quarter, while its year-on-year rate of increase was 1.3 per cent – the lowest for 15 years.There was more good news in the composition of growth. The biggest contribution came from trade, although this was driven by a decline in imports rather than a rise in exports. Investment spending expanded by 1.8 per cent in the first three months of the year.Consumer spending fell a shade, its first drop since early 1992 This was surprising, as incomes rose during the quarter.
However, spending by Britons overseas is included in the total, and this probably returned to normal in the first quarter after a huge increase at the end of last year.Only a little more information on the state of the economy is due to be published before Mr Clarke and Mr George hold their next monthly monetary meeting. Most economists in the City said yesterday they expected the Governor to give the same advice as on 5 May, when it seems clear he called for a rise in base rates from the current level of 6.75 per cent.Steven Bell, chief economist at Morgan Grenfell, said: ”He will still say it would be prudent to raise rates, on balance.” Although most economic statistics published since the last meeting have gone Mr Clarke’s way, growth remains strong and the pound is still far weaker than at the start of this year.Few analysts expect Mr Clarke to opt for higher rates in June, even if the Governor’s advice is unchanged This was certainly the verdict of the markets. The gilts market soared yesterday and short sterling showed traders trimming their expectations of future base rates.A strong rally in US Treasury bonds after the release of the trans-Atlantic figures took gilts still higher. The yield on 30-year US Treasuries fell to 6.78 per cent while that on two-year bonds fell below 6 per cent for the first time in two years.German government bonds enjoyed a buoyant day too, partly because the view that the Bundesbank might cut German interest rates in response to weaker than expected growth is gaining ground.. The Bank of England sharply criticised commercial banks yesterday for excessively relaxing lending conditions in the scramble for large corporate business in the current highly competitive market.

It’s the ultimate quick-fix of engines, competition and extreme acceleration, but there is more to it than just raw speed.Vehicles are paired off depending on engine-size and fuel. The cars race within certain time-brackets, meaning that if the specified time for the quarter-mile course is nine seconds, the cars have to run as close to that time as possible without clocking a time over the specified bracket – 8.89 secs is good, 8.95 secs is better, but a car clocked at 9.01 secs will lose the race, regardless of finishing first, if the other car registers any time below 9 secs.With races finishing in the blink of an eye (the Santa Pod course record stands below 5 secs), successful drivers require razor-sharp reactions to beat their opponents.Once my heart-rate had decreased sufficiently, I was given the chance to test my own drag racing-skills (racing brand new Vauxhall Vectras – for our own safety) against other journalists. Forget refuelling, lightning-fast tyre-changes and hairpin corners, drag cars only race in straight lines. and I think I want to do it all over again!Based upon motorsport’s most seductive element – speed – drag-racing is hugely popular in the US and is attracting increasing numbers of British converts to its unique style of racing. Now we’re travelling at around 10mph and turn back towards the pits but, every time we edge a few yards forward, the car’s engine screams loudly as if impatient for more speed and another work out.When we reach the pits, I’m speechless and completely exhausted The whole experience lasted just under nine seconds … There’s not much steering involved in drag-racing, but the car must stay on the straight and narrow as there’s simply nowhere else to go.I’m still exhaling my first desperate shriek when we pass the quarter- mile point and, without warning, start to decelerate.
I’m thrown forward a few centimetres before my belt takes up the strain and now I’m pressing both feet to the floor in desperate sympathy with the car’s braking system. My wail ends in mid-scream but my mouth remains open as I contemplate a braking failure at this velocity.Slowly the car slows down and my body begins to relax as the G-force subsides. We’re accelerating so quickly that I half- expect the front of the car to take off. Now all I can hear is the deafening roar of a straining engine as we accelerate at pant-wetting speeds.An involuntary wail spews from my mouth; part exhilaration, primarily blind fear as the car literally flies across the track. Powerful gravitational forces fling my head and body backwards against the seat and we’re accelerating so fast now that my arms and legs instinctively grasp around for something to grab.There’s a 4ft-high concrete wall a few metres to my right and another a few car-widths on the other side. “Depending on the conditions of the car and track, you’re looking at 0-60mph in about 1.5 seconds and 0-120mph in around five,” Bates had told me.
Smoke and the smell of burning rubber are everywhere and, for the life of me, I can’t remember why I thought that doing this would be a good idea.Suddenly we’re off and I simply don’t have time to worry about my ringing eardrums. I can’t see the wheels moving but I can feel the vibrations as the car drifts a little from side to side. The roar of the engine is so deafening that I want to press my hands to my ears, but with a helmet on, doing so would be a total waste of time. My nostrils fill with the heavy aroma of burning rubber before a cloud of thick smoke surrounds the car.As wisps of smoke drift inside the vehicle and waft across my visor, it occurs to me that smoke is often a precursor of impending doom – not at all like the charming stuff that puffs out of children’s steam engines.
Just when I think I’m ready to go, he returns with a neck-brace. Trussed up like an ancient mummy, I’m not certain whether it’s for prevention or cure but I haven’t too much time to mull over safety precautions as the car inches towards the start line.Chris starts the burn-out. The faster your car burns fuel, the faster the engine will run and the faster we go…”The mechanic secures my arm to my torso with a strap to prevent it from falling out of the window in the event of a crash. At Santa Pod Raceway, I’d been watching vehicles travel from 0-60mph in less time then it takes to fasten a seat belt. The safety of the grandstand seemed a long way off sitting in the car in fireproof overalls.
“The car is 80 per cent fibreglass with 700 horsepower engine,” Bates had explained earlier. “Press the line-lock to hold the front wheels before performing a ‘burn-out’ [a crowd-pleasing manoeuvre that sees the rear wheels spin violently while the car remains stationary in a cloud of smoke] to put much-needed heat into the tyres for extra grip.
