Hopefully if all goes well & the engine hangs together, me & the car are going to shed a few pounds over the winter, I also have some mods to do on the cage to make it a bit safer in there, & I might do something a little different with the paintwork.
I will be looking for mid 9s so might have to turn the wick up a bit.
I am going back to compete at King of Europe in Belgium also,
Its a great meeting & very welcoming, you should look at coming out there next year, you will love it.

If it aint got a shit load of horse power you aint winning.
I dont really stand a chance but, it is the bollocks meeting.
When your on the line there with thousands of people each side of the track watching, I cant explain the buzz.
At the end of the 1/4 you turn right keep going for about 2 miles past lots of little houses with the locals waving at you, after about 3 miles you get back to the entrance of the track, honestly ive never seen anything like it, you are actually on a road.
The people are great & the whole event is well worth a look.

No good for me I'd run out of fuel.

Not going to wild with the paint I hope, I like the understated look.

talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
