Here we are in 2019 wow where did last year go? this is a quick update first of all I am going to have to say this I am really disappointed that there are only 3 non msa events this year, I can only thing that either the Pod want to get rid of the Outlaw classes or there just isn't enough race days free on the calendar? time will tell on that one. Luckily the dragster is still tagged and i have just found out that the race suit has another year to go, the only thing that the team have had to get is a new race helmet as the current one is too damaged to get through scrutineering. Luckily Steve has found one and it's on its way to Swindon.
This means that we should be able to enter a couple of MSA events this year budget allowing that is. We have another problem early this year we found the gearbox was damaged because it had come out of line with the axle in fact it was beyond repair we found another box but what we didn't think of was, could it have damaged the axle as well? the answer to that is yes. Steve took the axle off the car to check it out as he wasn't happy with it when he turned it over something went "jangle jangle" there shouldn't be any noise from the saxle so back to base and strip down time, what Steve found wasn't good....
Bearings collapsed shafts scored etc, its a wonder it didn't cause a bigger problem. So rebuild on the way and hopefully all will e well for the first meeting of the year.
