Today is one of those days when too much news is barely enough.

First up the Leyburn (pronounced Leeburn) Sprints where 200 cars, 15,000 punters, Dick Johnson, Kevin Bartlett, Colin Bond, Bob Holden, John French, Fred Gibson, Michael McMichael and John Connolly crowded into the 1860s town (pop: 416) to watch Ken McAndrew try to dive his very pretty 1967 Ford Cortina into the 154-year-old Leyburn State School swimming pool.
