20/07/2024

Been a bit hectic last couple weeks big decisions made
The going is tough sacrificed a lot of things keeping mum in track as well
Tina still on trailer I’ve not had chance to get her sorted as customer work is first and getting my business back on the map
I’m battered and bruised but still here
I’ve got no familey to do anything for mum and me just good old me and mush bag
I was due and booked into Darlington show and the ford day tomorrow on demo runs
Unfortunately due to work commitments and Tina not being ready I appologise for not being in attended with Tina and crew
We will be back out soon bigger and better
Thankyou to the people that’s messaged to see if I’m ok
Just been a bit down and head spinning with stuff going on but all for the best
I wasent too good last night with a big headache as so I didn’t do much but watch out for everything that’s going to come out in the racing pages

Updates from last year towards the end of the season
We did come away with the no 1 place for the national street car chalange 2021
We also managed to get the track record rwd for Crail raceway in Scotland which at some point in 2022 we’re going g back to see if we can go a bit further with it and the scenery is just breath taking there

We finished the year off with a invite to Santa pod for the flames and thunder event as a demo car of which we really appreciate and got to run in the dark at 150 mph which was just awesome

Nothing really happens much over winter with Tina as the workshop took priority over Tina which is always the case

28/06/2022

Ok so our goal is to try and keep this page updated with Tina results ups and downs and goings on

It’s been a bit stale at the min for the last few months as going on in the workshop taken higher priorities but we’re going to keep updating now from Monday onwards with the goings on
