Time to go racing:

Well, after months of complaining about the long off season, finally the Easter Thunderball is upon us, and we are good to go!

The car is in the trailer, and we are fully loaded up ready to go to Santa Pod for the opening round of the NFAA championship for 2012. With mixed fortunes on the weather forecast, we are hoping to get some luck with the weather and lay some good opening runs on the year.

I am hoping to have access to a proper method of keeping relatively live updates from the pit area throughout the racing weekend. Experiments with wireless internet services hopefully means I can keep everyone updated with how the team gets on during the weekend.

Next stop; Santa Pod for the Thunderball. See you there!

Pre Easter Preparations:

This is written after the events of the Thunderball itself, as the time prior to the event was very busy with finishing the car and other non racing matters that caused delays in updating the site. Here is however some words written in past tense, in a hope to give you all a idea of how things were!

The build up to the Easter Thunderball was a typically hectic time, with last minute parts being delivered and returned from respective certification and servicing. The parts we had ordered from Holbrook Performance Parts arrived in good time and we were able to do what we needed to prepare what we had. The supercharger arrived back from servicing, and the new injector hat arrived from Good Vibrations Motorsports of Whittier, California. Must recommend their service to anyone, anywhere in the world, speak to Kasey there (http://www.dragparts.com/) as they were fantastic for us.

The body also arrived back from paint the weekend prior to the race, and must thank Martyn’s brother Mick so much for driving to Bridgwater to pick it up for me. The body looks incredible, and photos will be aplenty hopefully at the Thunderball.

Things are looking good to be there in good stead for the opening round. Stay tuned for more information before the big ‘Go’

Thanks for reading!
