12:36 - First catch up of many with the guys from Downforce Radio. Looking at how we will be bring DFUSA back to the air for a new year, and a visit to a Thai restaurant tonight. Now off to meet Rob Howden, and a cute lil red thing he brought for the weekend.

13:42 - As I few tweeted last night, ASI is a great social event too meeting up with people who you kinda know online, social media, etc (being semi faceless is a funny advantage!), so spotting a lady with distinctive hair dye, hi Sarah, yyyyes? Good that one was right!
14:09 - Oh Indycar? Is that like NASCAR? No.
Talking of that series, here's one of theirs!

15:15 - I attended a seminar with Rob Howden and Michelle Kish from the MRTI and Will Phillips of Indycar. Some interesting nuggets from this, it was mainly about attracting people, teams and drivers to the USA to compete. I'll post some notes from this tomorrow morning, and also a more in depth chat with Rob and Michelle.
16:15 - For those who don't know, the early idea for starting up this website came from a group of us on Twitter from the UK talking about Indycar, we are scattered all over the British Isles, and finally added Matthew Spencer to the list of putting a face to a Twitter handle and a proper Yorkshire accent to boot!
Day done, tomorrow brings me hopefully finding the Ford GT and also the Dan Wheldon Karting Trophy in the evening, you can keep with with the action live on Downforce Radio, commentary lol the race as well as interviews with some of the stars involved.
