Well, it's been almost two years now since it ran in anger, last season being completely missed due to financial and family problems, but The herbielizer will be back on the track this summer, possibly as soon as the Summer Nationals.
As we speak the car is at RNJ Motorsport with Rob Judge casting the magic spanners over the engine that we blew at VW Action 2008, and will have it in the car running soon with a freshly polished and balanced crank, a new rod and a new set of bearings as the last lot got cooked.
Monkeŷ and I spent the other weekend pulling out the door windows and winder mechs in advance of some new Perspex windows, and the splendid Jake Pyro has donated a new race seat to hold me off the floor of the newly barren interior. That's quite a lot of weight lost from the car, and along with some engine development as things progress we hope to see a ten second timing ticket at some point this season.
Biggest and best news though is that we have secured some sponsorship that should see the car with a new look and someone more reliable than me sorting the race entries. A full announcement will appear on here soon.
One love.
Justin R
