There is one thing fellow race friends, that we are all guilty of, and that is ,loads and loads of hours spent in the garage to get every adjustment just right for that important race day, and for what, a 20 min race somewhere miles away from home..... "BUT ITS WORTH IT"!! Looks like Silverstone is our first one this year, due to age restrictions, CAN'T WAIT!!

I DUNNO about that, the off season comprises mostly of DIY around the house, as none gets done during the season <LOL>

Just recuperating from an operation, apart from that I'll be at Oulton. The Tuscan is ready and raring to go! Not doing too many of the rounds but hope to come and fill the back of the grid occasionally! Best regards to everyone else, Tony

I'm up and running with the 4.5 engine, roll cage, front suspension strengthened, seat now in. All the finer bits now being fettered in terms of mechanical door opening, fire extinguisher, cut off switch, side windows in perspex, tidying up etc..testing at Brands on the 28th Feb and booked in for the PM session at Oulton Park on the 30th of March and a sleeping bag for the overnight in the Paddock.

side windows in perspex,



I hope you mean polycarbonate.. perspex is a nono as it shatters into sharp bits.

Yes it is polycarbonate just me being thick, seem to be one of the most unexpected costs of the project, big question is do I have a big wing like the Tiff Needel car of 96?
