After 33 months, it was good to be back in the seat. The car was very good and looked great, mostly due to the excellent work of John Taylor (transaxle rebuild), John Adams (frame repairs), Bruce Kilcoyne (engine rebuild), and Chuck Brewer (fibreglass and paint). With a little more seat time, maybe the driver will catch up to the car...
The field was not large but the racing was very good both days. John Haydon has promised to post some in-car video clips somewhere on the internet, maybe YouTube. Details to follow.
Thank again to everyone who made it to Grattan for the series openers, especially those who towed from the other side of the lake or the east coast. Points and prize winners to follow soon.
The Blackhawk Farms EWC test day is 45 days and counting...
