The third and final episode of the Ultimate W Network Expert Challenge airs on Sunday night at 7pm on the W Network. Thanks to everyone who has been watching and I hope you have enjoyed it – it was definitely fun to be a contestant!
Reminder #2
I don’t know how much longer the Globe and Mail’s Best of the Blogs online poll will be running, but thanks to everyone who has cast a vote for yours truly. If you haven’t voted yet, I would love for you to click on the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page where the voting is taking place. You can vote for up to five of your favourite blogs – last time I checked I was running fourth but losing ground fast! I would appreciate your vote!
This Week’s Racing Video
Don’t worry, the weekly links will appear below – just thought I’d shuffle things around this week and place “this week’s racing video” first. This video shows just how fast an electric car can be – a 1972 Datsun fitted with an electric motor destroys some pretty powerful gasoline powered muscle cars at the local dragstrip! (If you are reading this via email, click here to view the video.)

If you are new to WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com, every Friday I run a post called “A Lap Of The Blogs” which provides links to articles I found interesting and think that others may want to read for themselves. I also include some commentary on what’s going on in my personal life and a weekly “racing video” since my former life was in the auto-racing industry. The name “Lap of the Blogs” is in reference to “A Lap Of The Gods” which is an old video series which chronicled on-board footage of the world’s greatest F1 drivers lapping various racetracks from around the world.
Thanks for the link.
