Hi all
Rob Watson is running a meeting at Ellenbrook for sprint cars on 8th August.
Hi is keen to get a heap of cars there, support him and Ellenbrook as it is a great venue to run at in the off season.
Team Crabbe will both be in the USA for Knoxville but Glen will be taking the 45 car to defend the title he won last year.
Well the wash up from Tom Price is we need to strip the j&j again, bent one of my winters light weight hubs, bent the axle beam, bent a few radius rods, wrecked both wings, damaged the new body work, tore the down tube where the top wing spud sits below the roll cage, so a bit more work needed to get it back to pristine.
Broke the team Crabbe first rule as well, rule 1 in the team handbook is 1) If car is damaged head to the bar.
I was restrained from indulging by the crew as they worked frantically to get us back out there for heat 3, they succeeded and jammed me into the car despite my wanting to find the esky.
Ran from the front and led for 2 laps until Glen steamed by on the outside off turn 2, he was nice enough to throw me a jar of Vaseline as he went by to stop the wind burn.
I watched heat 2 as we put the car back together and Glen was flying into the turns, thought he would not get around but his car was on rails all night, it would hook up as he went into the turn and then start a gentle push from 3/4 corner allowing him to get on the gas early off the turn, this stops anyone from getting a run on him in the straights or going into the corner, it was something to watch, not bad for an old Pino Priolo Maxim running second hand bits, still the motor is absolutely first rate, it is the one I borrowed to Anthony King mid last season.
Got some heads in my trailer for another new car joining us next season, it is for Matt Muir who brought my old JEI.
Catch you
Crabby
