Cable Mate (support and parts)
David Clifford Photography (photo's and camera)
W.D Bryan Joiner (use of a trailer)
Dad (without him there would be no racing. He does most of the work on the car, I just help)

Happy New Year (and stuff)



Hope everyone (is there anyone out there???) got through the x-mas/NY period. Dad and I spent X-mas/Boxing day pulling the motor out. We went for a spin on the Sunday and on the way home, it dropped a bearing. Number of reason's why it did but it did and now we are just waiting for it to arrive back from the shop. It will have a new con rod, bearings and the crankshaft had to have a regrind too. Plus the head had to be cleaned up as well. While that is being done, we have removed the rear steering (known as the HICAS) which must of weighed about 10-12kg, fitted a higher flowing fuel pump, sent the ECU and turbo off to be modified, fitted a front chassis brace, brought a camera for in car use, brought an oil cooler and coil packs and still have to buy a new clutch kit, rego, pay for the motor and the turbo, refit it all, need wheel spaces because we found the front tyres rubbing the struts, wheel alignment, the car need to have its yearly audit done plus other little odds and sods that need to be done not to mention putting it on the dyno and running the motor in, all before March 1-2 which the the 50th anniversary of Baskerville Raceway. Still not sure if it will all get done in time.
