Apologies
Its been a long time since this site was updated, there
just hasnt been enough hours in the day to send the info
over to the web admin.
Latest:
We have had a great start to the season this year
making Red at the first grading largely due to finishing
second to Stuart Smith at Sheffield and then reversing the
placings at the 2nd Belle Vue of the year. A first final win
was also superb!!
So racing from Red has been good we have only done 4
meetings from the Red grade but scored a Heat 4th at
Coventry and a 5th at Belle Vue.
At one time just to get a 4th or a 5th from yellow was good
but to do it from red was totally unexpected.
We have had a spot of bother with the ignition system on the
car at the last couple of meetings and so a new system has
been fitted and all looks good for Covemtry and Peter
Faldings Testimonial.
Just 5 points from retaining the red roof for june so its
out with the blue paint for me on friday night.
Thanks to everyone who has congratulated me on making red,
it's good to have done it at one point in my racing but I
cant afford to do enough meetings to maintain it.
Some have asked me how I found the extra speed in the car
and the simple answer is that I saved up over winter and put
a new Hoosier and a new rally tyre on at all three of my
race meetings in the first grading!. Now I'm using those
part worn tyres as usual for the meetings I do and won't
have to buy any new ones until July/August. Ok it cost a bit
but I proved to myself that if you put the best rubber on
the car and pay attention to detail with car set up I could
keep with some of the best cars & drivers on track.
so It's all down hill from here!!!
Enjoy your racing
See you around the SHALE raceways.
