Spoke to Andy a bit ago...

Congratulations go out to Stuart Whyte for 1st Place on Saturday and Chris Docherty for 1st today...

And a massive go out to Andy Gallacher who managed two second places even after not having the use of a clutch on saturday (release bearing failure). He also broke his box going over the finish line on sat. They managed to get another clutch and gearbox which they fitted and raced with on sunday. The 2nd place on sunday is even more impressive because he had no 4th gear and to go from 1st to 2nd he had to go through 3rd!!!

The Scots take the honours again!!!!

Well done to everyone. Cant seem to find any times on MST take it welsh timing hasn't made it through. Unfortuantly Craig and The Team didn't get down but car will be running for DP. Just trying to see what all the results were there.

These guys aren't jammy mate, whoever you are.. There cars are well prepared and they are good at what they do. Stuart / Andrew / Chris are all going to have some really close battles with Scottie this year.
Looking forward to DP should be interesting watching those 4 come down Craner Curves..

We should be there at Donny got the car up and running last night all seems ok. New Half Shafts and Diff Bearings Nice!!!

There is a Test Session there Friday Night I believe from 5.30 to 8.30 which I think Craig wants to do just to make sure its all ok. Get that out the way and then have a few Voddies

See you there

Your name says it all about your statment
There is nothing jammy about getting banned from the championship
& building two cars in a few days --- diff breaking at croix n having to get the ferry back to dover then a taxi back through the chanel tunnel ---
then getting to pembery chris had a prob on sat & andy broke a box the two cars were good to go for the sunday again...My point is there is nothing jammy about this its sheer determination & hard work so
Im telling you these boys will stop at nothing but brick walls

Chris

Mate he is no way Malcolm Wise accomplace i can assure you of that Carlo. Craig has been in the FSCC too long to get involved with Wise. Craig's aim this year is to beat Wise.
The car is ready for DP but needs some testing as we changed all the suspension over the winter and spring ratings and we need to get use
to it. Ideally Jems and Craig would like to upgrade the engine to gain
more boost but financially cant do it. So he is happy to give mr wise a
race.

Mate all I can say, Is that with hand on heart and I have known Craig for some 15 years there was no Petition and there was certainly nothing official like that bought into our set up. Craig has respect for what these guys are doing and he is a person and most people will agree can be
approached for most things .. He isn't that type of a guy mate honestly

Thats ok mate..

Craig like I said have known for 15 years and will help anyone out and if anyone wanted help he would get his hands dirty. Like me and the rest of
the team he enjoys his racing and enjoys the crack, even if he does look
shy and quiet.. which sometimes he is unlike myself

Chris and the boys seem a top laugh, Croix was brilliant you never knew
what to expect next from them but everyone had a laugh. And we all said on Sat Night hats off to you lot going back to dover to get the parts for the
car but that's what racing is all about mate. Graham Wait and Brain O'Connor drove from Anglesey to South Wales borrowed Craigs dads people carrier and weren't seen for nearly 10hours.. But spirit of racing!!!

I look forward to seeing Chris and the Boys up against Steve, Wish we had a little bit more grunt to get involved but Wise is our Target

Be good if we are all there. We definatly are ready to rock and roll.
Going testing Friday Night there. I have only been in the car once with
Craig when it was Normally Aspirated on 50's and around Mondello Park
I was on the edge!!! But Love it.

Craigs motor usually holds well at donington, so hope we can get it running right yellow beast on the move.

Hopefully Steve will be there aswell, and we can all park closish and have
a good laugh .. After all this chatting be good to have a beer with you mate
