Nah,
Probably not.
She comes in on the Thursday of the Clipsal 500 and I have an early start at the track - around 6.30am.

Just have to hope she'll be back at some stage.

Yep.

Yep.
It's not all beer and skittles though - Clipsal is 4 days (5 if you count the Wednesday) of hard work - long days and very short nights.
Clipsal usually starts for me on the Saturday prior but this year it looks like I'll be at Wakefield Park that weekend for the Shannons Nationals. I get back on Monday and tie up loose ends before into Clipsal from Wednesday with the Phillip Island Classic meeting the weekend after. Back home for 48 hours before back to Melbourne for the F1's. Then the Easter Historics at Mallala (ahhh...my own bed) on Saturday and Sunday with the Hillclimb at Collingrove on Monday. Follwed up the next weekend with round 2 of the Shannons at Symmons Plains in Tassie - home on Monday and out on Wednesday for the V8s in Hamilton NZ that weekend and back in Adelaide on the Tuesday.
After a while, a diet of take-away, airline and race track food coupled with a lack of sleep takes it's toll.
