Hi all
Well here it is from the horses mouth.
Come Friday there will be an engine change in the cave.
We are going in with the best we have, if that is not good enough then so be it, we will not be left wondering.
Glen had a sleepless night last night, we took the carby off of his car to take to the dyno to run on physco, but all 3 carbys we tried returned the same results.
Well time to say goodnight.

Age shall not weary them.
Well folks who are the oldest drivers in our state title?
Tony Bilman wins hands down, he is over 60 and other than being blind (as in vision) he is still one fast pedlar and keen to have a better run than his last at Kwinana, and should he not have a good run at Bunbury he will be looking for revenge when we get to Narrogin the week after.
Then I think it is me at 49 and 4 months ( that's not 50).
After that perhaps the general Grant Chisolm is in there, I reckon between the 3 of us the combined age would be more than 150 years.
That's a real worry, perhaps when Wodgy gets back next year we will run a veterans class.
Geez I wish it was Saturday already.

Possibly an Australian first in Sprintcar Racing.
As I sat here tonight watching The Big Bang Theory I had a flash of thought, very dangerous I know, but I believe we may be setting a sprintcar first at our Limited Sprintcar State Title.
Could this be the first time in an Australian Sprintcar title that there will be 2 father/daughter combinations competing against each other.
The General Grant Chisolm will be racing against Stacci and I will be racing against Annette.
Just to get Grant fired up I would like to point out Annette has not beaten me yet.

State title update.
Hi all
Well we now have a pair of Kings for the title, after some pressure from the family Anthony has nominated, this now has all the fastest cars in our division nominated and ensures this will be one of the best state titles in a long time.
The Bunbury bull ring has turned on some super fast tracks recently and you can be assured that the track will be prepared to perfection for our big night.
We are still hopeful that our good motor will be ready in time, we had the spare flat out at our last run at Kwinana and would like the extra horsepower the big motor delivers, although there is talk of a mutiny if we have any engine problems during the title.
From a personal viewpoint I would dearly love a podium result, we have run 2 titles now with a best finish of fifth last year from the rear, not sure why I did not get a hard charger award, must ask about that.
25 laps of Bunbury will be a big ask for us oldies but we have had 2 x 20 lap shootouts there already this season and we made it without needing the oxy viva.
This weekend will be a big one in the cave, we will spend both days there going over all 3 cars, getting tyres ready, grooving and siping trying to get an edge over the field, every nut and bolt will be checked, on the 45 car I may loosen a couple as well, just enough to slow it a little, just joking Glen.

State Title happenings.
Hi all,
Well slowly slowly the days are passing as we head into our state title.
Currently we have 18 cars nominated and things are looking good for a big night.
Do you know who the winners have been in the last ten years?
Suprisingly only one person has gone back to back since 2000, that is Wayne Armstrong.
Gavin Davis has won 3 of the last 10 titles.
Todd Davis has won one.
Adyme Harvey has won a title, I did not know that.
Russel Minchin has won one, another I did not know.
Nathan Chant won a title, apparently it was a very hotly contested event with Nathan coming out on top.
Anthony King won 2 years ago with his 320 engine in Geraldton, I remember that one as a car that lost a front wheel turned in front of me "to get to the infield" and I tipped it over, the wings on my car were less than 24 hours old from signwriter to bin.
So who will it be?
We have some quick new guys on the track this year.
We have some quick guys in their second season.
We have some quick guys in their third season.
We have some radical drivers who are hard to pass and this will show on the cautious if they cannot get past quickly in the heats.
Who will it be?
As we get closer over the next 2 weeks we will start the kiss of death process.
As an aside, where is Mick Doble and the flinstone machine? His name is not on the list yet.

Kwinana wrap up.
Hi all,
Well Kwinana last night was a good meeting in some ways and not in others.
There were some big moments for some both good and bad.
The night started with time trials, 5 hot laps with your fastest lap recorded for your time trial.
Sarah Zeminck set fast time.
There were 2 x heats with the fastest from the rear.
Heat 1 results
Sarah Zeminuk, Shane Maskell, Damien Joyce.
Heat 2 results
Damien Joyce, Shane Maskell, Steve Crabbe.
Going into the feature the high line was coming on and it was going to be a hard slog to start from behind row 1 and get past.
The line up was,
Sarah Zeminuk, Damien Joyce, Robbie Stevens, Shane Maskell, Steve Crabbe, Anthony Gaudio then the rest.
On the first start Damien Joyce got away but there was a spin and a complete restart.
On the second restart Sarah and Damien made contact with Damien hitting the turn 2 wall on the exit.
Again we reformed for the start only to have a couple of 360's come together and cause another restart, this time it was time to go straight to the top line and try to run around the front cars, we put the 77 up there and began the task of running in the top cars, after a few laps we were into lapped traffic and the lead car took to the bottom for the pass and I stayed high, this put us into the lead and we stayed there crossing the finish line 8 seconds clear of second place.
Final results
Steve Crabbe first, Sarah Zeminuk second and Shane Maskell in third.
Highlights.
Shane Maskell is getting the hang of it and getting harder and harder to get by.
Robbie Stephens is one quick pedlar around the plex.
Sarah Zeminuk was fast in time trials and the first heat.
An inspired drive by yours truly in the feature after some face slapping and harsh words from Steve Bombak, saying if you can catch them you are faster so don't sit behind them.
Lowlights
Some big crashes that claimed cars from all divisions including our 45 car.
Gavin Davis continues to have some serious engine woes.
Glen took a huge dump ruining the freshly rebuilt 45 weapon.
Dhuy after looking reasonably quick early lost a fuel pump drive.
Darren Higgins went from the elation of a near heat win last week to being a non starter at the track due to a malfunctioning brake system.
It was another good show for the club, just the usual poor sportsmanship by the same suspects puts a dampener on it.
Well bring on the title it is time to see the real fast boys back out.

No tips this week, I have given Glen the kiss of death already and do not want to jinx anyone else.

State Title happenings.
Hi all,
Well 3 and a bit weeks to go and the "Number 1" will be up for grabs again.
We have had some great support from several organisations to assist us this year with the Title and its promotion.
The Bunbury Car Club has found a sponsor and given us the use of the time clock that sits on turns 3 and 4, what a great thing for the LSA.
Also the Bunbury Mail have offered a full page advert for the State Title, another great result for the LSA.
We are talking with another group about some more PR/Advertising to attempt the unthinkable, we would like to see more than 300 people at the track, and an ambitious target of 500 people is what we would really like, this would show our appreciation to the Bunbury Car Club for their faith in our division.
So to all you people who read our blog-
Help spread the word, put it on face book, put it on the speedway web sites, put it out to everyone and everything that on the 2nd of April, Bunbury Speedway is the place to be.

Krikke Boys Wrap Up.
Hi all,
Despite what has been written on the usual negative web sites even when we do well the blog takes some time to do, this is because "we are busy".
So the weekends racing wrap up.
We had 19 cars turn up, 3 were 360's and one whatever (sorry Mark).
The track was a grease pit for engine starts and yours truly embarrassed himself with a near spin in turn 2 at just above idle, stalled the car and had to wait for a restart, did my best to hide but there was not enough room in the car for that.
Hot laps were still slow with the greasy high line and 2 cars also had small skirmishes in the same spot as me, one hitting the wall and the other just spinning.
There was no real pace in the hot lap sessions.
Heat one had Michael Armstrong making contact with the pit gate after a component failure on his front end, Todd Davis won from Glen Oliver and Gavin Davis.
Heat 2 was more of the same with the Zeminuck car suffering from a hard hit to the backstraight wall.
Wade Randell won from Phil Blackman and Ian Dhu.
Heat 3 and the track was juiced up and hooky as but the water cart put some water on the highline stopping the usual fast suspects being able to use it.
Annette Crabbe was hit in the rear by Troy Craig with both being put out, Troy for the night and Annette just for the heat.
Cale Sotiroff won from Darren Higgins and Todd Davis third.
Heat 4 and the high line had come on, there was some jostling for position before the start with the inside car on pole determined to be on the hooky surface not the slick black, after a false start the heat had no mishaps and was run green to checker.
Steve Crabbe won from Mark Miller and Damien Joyce in third.
So into the feature we went.
16 cars with the top 6 inverted.
Damien Joyce was off pole, Glen Oliver was off 2, Ian Dhu was off 3, Not sure about 4, I was off 5, Not sure about the rest but Todd Davis was off 9 after pulling the 9 ball to invert the field.
Glen Oliver had the race under control for the first 13 laps including a few restarts, but on the restart after lap 13 team owner Steve Crabbe had to let Glen know that his bum should have been hot as his rear inside brake disc was molten, as Glen pulled to the infield he realised that his bum was in fact hot and he summoned the fire crew for some cold liquid relief.
Gavin Davis resumed in the lead and led for another few laps until his car spluttered and ran out of fuel, the toolbox was not going to be Glen's or his.
I was into third and ready to pounce, on the restart I realised that running the top line was getting harder and tried to move to the bottom, but each time had to go back to the top, Damien Joyce with a glint in his eye and one hand on the tool box stayed out in front and was a deserving winner in his "JEI" as he pointed out to me in the pits later, Todd Davis was in second and I came home in third.
Feature placings.
Damien (Watch the JEI go) Joyce
Todd Davis
Steve Crabbe
Highlights of the night;
* Got to say it was great to get through with no motor woes and no wreckage on the 77car, we have found some pace and just need to get by the slower cars quicker.
* Glen Oliver showed why he has my State Title dark horse vote, but still has to work the traffic better, although he was running high and lapping cars 3 at a time in the feature.
* Annette Crabbe started tentatively but by the feature was gassing it up, highlight of her night was passing 3 cars on one corner.
* Cale Sotiroff ventured south and won a heat.
* Ian Dhu came out of his self imposed hiatus and was quick.
* Darren Higgins almost won his first heat but was passed on the finish line.
No real lowlights, we are all just looking forward to the state title showdown at Bunbury.
Bring on Kwinana on the 12th, hope to see a good turnout.

Krikke Boys Shootout
Hi all,
Well it is the March long weekend and that means the KBS show is about to be run.
Team SJ Crushing have all 3 cars ready to go, we have had a big week in "The Cave" putting the 45 back together, it has the best bits on it that it has had since it belonged to Pino Priolo, and Glen is looking like he has been to the Todd Davis school of race eyes.
Annette is pumped and ready to carry on with her improvement after Moora,s good drive in the feature race.
And me well I will be there in body and hopefully ready to go hard.
I believe we have up to 23 cars nominated, so if we get 20 it will be one big meeting.
See you all there.

Mick Doble's weekend wrap up.
Thanks to Moora speedway for another great night of racing.
It would have to be the most enjoyable night I have had this season, there was no pressure just a good bunch of people to race with and some of the best racing I have been involved in for a long time.
The King brothers as always great to race with hard and fast and always up for a bit of fun, sorry Anthony about the guide post but I need all the help I can get when driving Fred's car.
All the other drivers sounded like they enjoyed the night too and the spectators were treated to some great racing.
I didn't know what the old car would be like so we decided to just hold it flat and hang on and that seemed to work most of the time.
I would like to thank all my crew that helped me get the old girl around on the night, that's Chris, Bloods, Mick, Justin, Kim and Riley. Its just a shame the person calling the shots decided to leave the tyres on that we had run all night instead of putting the new ones on that where sitting there just looking good. (yes that was me) This cost us in the feature after some great racing with Anthony for the first half dozen laps then leading for 10 or so laps, I could feel the tyres going off and on the first restart I was a sitting duck and expected to go to the rear real fast. I got some lucky breaks with more restarts but the fast cars did show me how it is done and the next time I saw them was in the pits after it was all over.
The points in the end went to
Anthony King
Mick Doble or was that Fred
Damien Joyce
Flintstone Racing would like to welcome a new sponsor on board in Bedrock Quarries and look forward to running the dinosaur some more this year, the little engine still pulls like a train and if we spend some time to set the car up it should be fast. Also if I put some tyres on it may help.
Once again thanks to Moora Speedway and all the volunteers that made the meeting happen also to Martin, Lillian and Peter who put in so much effort at every LSA meeting.
Thanks
Mick

Apology from Team SJ Crushing to Moora Club.
Hi all,
We must apologise to the Moora Speedway Club for leaving so soon after the nights racing.
We were packed up and gone within 20 mins of the flag dropping.
We are so busy at SJ Crushing yours truly had to work on the Sunday as did the entire SJ Crushing workforce, and given the number of contracts/opportunities we have at present this will go on for many more months, hence the reason the 77 car is in the shed and did not go to Moora, and in fact will only make a few more appearances this year.
On behalf of the LSA we all had a great night and thank the club for putting on a great show.
Catch you
Crabby.
