Team Crabbe talk.

Well folks our season is done.

We ran the state title and after a engine failure in the first heat of night one we were left pondering how we would come back from last in the feature on night two and make the podium.
We worked all Saturday from 5:30am until 3pm and headed for the track with the spare engine in the car.
We ran 4th in our heat and lined up dead last for the feature.
We finally broke into the 15 second group on lap 15 of the feature when I saw the lapping flag come out, I/ got inspired and refused to be lapped so I drove a bit harder.
We finished fifth with Glen DNFing after tagging the back straight wall.

So we are left to ponder how our year went and start on the job of getting the J&J Chassis we like so much ready for next year.
Phsyco is going back to the US for some work, the performance unlimited motor is going back into storage.
On the car front the J&J after passing the acid test we have put on it in the last 3 weeks has come through and so now will be stripped, a new body will be put on it and then we will paint and stripe it the same as the old JEI.
The ex Bombak maxim will be put together with my old engine as I have been informed we will be running three cars next year with Annette keen to have a go (inspired by Stacey Chisolm).
Glen's car will run a couple more races this season and will get its usual once over before running Ellenbrook if it coincides with his roster.

So in summary:
Thanks to Ed and Mick for all the help this year.
Thanks to Norbert and Gail also.

Thanks to Lillian, Peter and Martin for all the work they have done organising and running the race meetings this year, we have had a lot of fun.

I will keep blogging while we are away and let you know where we are.

We are racing Carnarvon again so if you have a car turn up and lets have fun.
