That looks awesome!!, loving the body and colour choice. Hope my jazz looks that good.
Just one question, forgive my ignorance but theres no over rider bar on the back. Do you not have to run one? Mine will look so much better without it if you dont have to.

Well it was first practise in Nelson on Saturday and the car made the track for the first time.  Andrew getting buckled in. IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/15x71fm.jpg[/IMG] The handled the track well first time out of the box. Needs a little more petrol at the top end as the car was running very lean. But handled like a dream.  We did some adjustments to the left rear and in the second race it was a little loose, we learnt from that and put it back for the third race.  The third race was Lee's turn ...first time in a Stockcar and first time on the track. A big thumbs up and the nerves broken, shes now looking forward to the next practise.  |

Nelson second practise and all went well the 3 races shared between 3 Drivers...Paul Perkins makes a come back to the track after 6 years.  On the dummy grid, hyped ready to do battle.  It was evident to all that Paul hadn't lost his touch...straight out on the track and the only car to pass him was Superstock Shane Harwood.  It was a faultless drive  |
