I was trying to get a pic of it after the race but it was tucked away in the trailer before I got there.
It looked to be very interesting and doing well to mix it with the Tuscans so well. Someone must know what's under the skin.

Thoroughly enjoyed mixing it with the Thorpedo in both races. Caught him on Saturday and got on to the podium - couldn't quite catch him on Sunday and Steve got the podium - a great way to end the season.

Roll on 2008!

It is but only due to its power not the chassis... why should that make a difference

I know it should be based on the Power not the chassie, but just thought if it was on the border then may get a small consesion due to a old design chassie.

I thought I saw it listed as B that's all, must have miss read.

Thanks for the update.

Was not sure as it had the same mountings for the rad as my 400SE.

I must add my congratulations to this. Steve has had an awful 2 years trying to get the Thorpedo right and now with a new car prep and pit crew progress has at long last been made. All he's ever wanted to do is race and hopefully there are many more of them to come with what is one of the most exciting cars in the series.

Looking forward to 2008 and the first win.

Too true, Steves was the First car I looked for in the results hoping for a finish and a good one.
You really cant fault Steve's Commitment, I think it puts us all in the shade..

Now its finally running properly again, with a bit of track time it should be able to surprise the sags I think. As you say Tim lets hope He can take an overall win with the Biggest Baddest Wedge next season.
