Come on Knoxville

Hello again,

Well it has been a year since we started blogging, it was Knoxville last year we started.
Well we are almost on our way back to the US for another round of the Nationals, there are a few people we know on the Speedway Star tour as well.
Before I go I have a bullet dodging trip to Nigeria to start work on a new crushing plant, this should make the Knoxville trip a pleasant relief, we should only have to dodge dodgy food there.

Team Crabbe Jr has almost got a car ready for next season, it is on the stands with a front end, a rear end and brakes, dash fitted, side panels fitted, should be just needing the panels painted and then sent to the striper early next week, we are taking the car to Tom Price for it's first run.

The guys going to Shark Bay have left and all seem to be looking forward to a great weekend.
Watto has his car and Ribs and are going to run up there, they have also signed up for the Tom Price round on the 24th July.

We are not sure if any of the North West cars are going to turn up for the meet but with 3 local cars and our 5 it will be a good night in town for the locals, looking forward to seeing if there are any of the old sidecar guys Glen and I used to race against up there, last trip to Tom Price for Glen and I was a win on my bike in a sidecar meeting, pity I was not riding at the time, I was a little under the weather from the amber and had a guy called Mark Spencer riding with Glen on the chair, they won 3 heats and tipped over in the second but still won the night, we were invited to the after meet party but somehow got lost in town and never made it.
Glen is looking forward to the run as he has not raced since the State Title and did poorly there.
Well will keep you updated as we move towards the Tom Price weekend and then on to the Knoxville Nationals.

Catch you

Crabby
