Some of you may know im entering the 750 stock hatch championship this year so i went on search for xr2 .........
after a long search i found one and a proven car as it ran in stock hatch in 2004/5/6 and was a front runner.
after a little chat to my business partner he decided he wanted to maybe enter for next year so off we went for the 2nd car.
now we have 2 cars we decided to goto snetterton testing yesterday to have brilliant results, there was some big cars out there new focus sts, golf gtis, meganes, clios etc and both are xr2s were wiping the floor over them on bends shame about the straights were Rob and me just couldnt keep up but in the end my fastest lap was 1:28.84 which in the stock hatch would put me right up there Robert my Business partner got a 1:30.21 but hit a wrong gear change and bending 4 valves halfway through session
im weighing in at 18st im on a very strict fitness program to get me down to 15 over next coming months. that will gain me some good time.
We have landed a really good sponsor to pay us for whole seasons expenses which is a result its amazing how many people follow this sport and want to sponser.
Hopefully my first race will be mallory park in 2 months still got a few things to setup on the car ie driving position and should get some better times.
