It's always a worry when people mention health concerns, Lord knows what stresses these people are under just getting the damned things from one track to the next let alone actually driving ! Good luck to the fella and I hope he enjoys the peace, agreed though I'd like to see Jens the-wavey-bloke-doing-the-burnout Nybo get a job driving nitro again.

Yes, this was quite a surprise. Lex's blog on eurodragster cast the idea of Kim Reymond being tempted back into the cockpit, but I was surprised at the speed Andy C moved to close the deal on the seat with Per and Karsten. This just goes to show how serious Andy is about using Lucas' backing to give him the best chance of winning the championship, again. When we spoke this morning he was really pumped about the whole deal, as you would expect him to be.
It's just a pity that we won't be seeing Håkan this year, as he's really cool and everybody likes him a lot.

being a northerner I would like to see Smax more but we all know he is doing well over the pond just now and we all wish him luck. Have asked him to update his web site in the past but he must be busy and all that. Also not to forget his ride over here with the McDonald's, their web site is ace. If I ever become a millionaire I would sponsor them
Fury,
The Anderson car is state of the art, hi body chassis, set-back blowers, all the latest gear when the car Andy had at Autosport is quite a dated car now. That car is an old Cory Mac McDonalds car. It has been updated after his crash but is still nowhere near the car he has now.
Overall Andys swift dealings have landed him probably the best car in the class.

the Andersson's own the car still, but Carter has been taken on as the new driver after Hakan's suprise retirement bringing with him the Lucas Oil sponsorship - as the Veidec deal was and always has been Hakan's
So it makes sence to sell the dated car and put all the effort into the best car then! But Andy says he will run em both, this will be fun and should get more folk interested once they know whats going on. Can't wait, it's going to be an exciting season if all goes well. Hope the other teams can compete on an even scale.
Hi @ll !
"Carter to run them both " ??
I do not think so, as far as I´ve understood on ED,
he takes the "old" dragster to exhibitions, shows and promotion events,
where Andy (and the car) can fulfill the needs of the Lucas sponsorship deal.
This leaves the "new" car to be going to the FIA races,
and back to the workshop inbetween.
O/T:
And, YES, I envy you for the early start of the season in GB,
here in germany the first T&T is on MZA at the end of april.....
(and only 3 races altogether....... )
By the way, the dutch racers from explosion are running 2 races for their
points championship @ the MZA Luckau dragstrip
Cheers,
Benni
