Latest updates

Good evening all

Well a lot has happened in our club and we are about to post the draft (note draft) calender to our web site next week.

It looks like we are in for an even bigger 2010/2011 season than the 2009/2010 season was.

We have been given the last night of both the Krikke Boys and the Bunbury round of the World Series, with a guarantee of the laps not being cut short.

We have the usual great Geraldton meetings locked in and some nights at new venues.

Have you been on crabbetube, oops I mean youtube lately, just go into youtube and type in limited sprintcars and see what pops up, last year we had some members sign up from NSW and they have got some of their racing posted up, they have even run in Brisbane.

So the club continues to grow in numbers, latest count is plus 40 drivers/cars.
That elusive Aussie Title race seems closer than ever.

The Armstrong clan are getting cars ready for next year, Caroline's car is/was at Murphy's getting straightened, not sure whats happening on the motor front, perhaps another box from the good old USA?
Team Rickster/Ackland can be spotted on the Schnee web site getting 2 new frames, 1 x custom and 1 x standard I believe, Todd Davis will be green all year, he is a Schnee lover.
Todd's boss ran into me at Settlers road house several weeks ago much to his dismay, 10 minutes I spent convincing him of the need to bankroll Todd into a bigger sponsorship deal, if this comes off Todd I should be OK for 20% I reckon.
Norbert built a trailer for Shane's car and promptly sold it on him, they are building another I believe but it could also go on the market, Shane may have a new trailer each week the way it's going.
Shane Webster is looking to bring the old Farrel mobile down to Mandurah before next season, we will fix those brakes so he can go a bit quicker.
Team Oliver 45 are going to powder coat their chassis after Tom Price, big budget next year, new wings as well and a fresh motor, now that torque tubes bolted in properly he may just get a move on.
Team Dhu has a couple of chassis that he is going to have Murph look at to get a new car together, he is having a couple of runs in Watto's car before the season proper to get back into the swing of it.
Team Crabbe junior has still not advanced much, the chassis is still sitting on the ramps in the shop untouched and unloved, seems she may have to show some more enthusiasm before any one does any work for her.
Team Crabbe senior has acquired some new go fast goodies from the Naylor shop in the USA, we have got a trick fuel system and carby from C&S that Jimmy Naylor is fitting up prior to the engine coming home, thanks team G Davis for the good oil on carby's.
We still have 2 motors coming in from the US if any one is interested in buying a good 580 to 600 hp engine, these engines will be right up there for specs and at a good price, both are all new.
The JEI has had some interest from all over the state, each person says they want to run in the limiteds, we are getting more and more known in the sprintcar world.

Tom Price looks on, we have 5 cars going up to have a run, looking forward to getting back into the seat, hope we don't run more than 10 lap heats and 20 lap feature though.


Catch you

Crabby.
