No, i don't get paid enough for that!!

I was helping put together the standby nose just incase the other failed.

I'm a fitter / leadinghand in the composite department at Red Bull Racing.

That's still very cool - a far more exciting job than most of us have to look forward to

Do you still have the CRX in your pics?

Unfortunately no, it was sold to fund my first S. It was a great car, don't know why they don't bring a similar size and shape car back.

The B16a was a great engine, thats where my love for VTEC started!!

Job security You know he's gonna wreck it sooner or later

Does anyone remember when the cart guys used to paint Paul Tracy's nose cone black because he always messed it up anyway?
