At
this point we realised the car was so good and with my
almost perfect reaction times, that we would not compromise
our chances in Super Comp and competed in Super Gas as
well. In fact, we convinced ourselves it would be good
practice! The year went like a movie script - out of 89
rounds of racing, lost 3 rounds, resulting in: 2001-2002 was again busy with work commitments and I occasionally guest drove cars, apparently with a |
reputation of being able to drive just about anything competitively. This lead to another season offer in 2002. Another car that I had built for a class called Street Eliminator with sponsorship, video sales and full press coverage from Custom Car Magazine. The car, a 1956 Chevy Bel-Aire, was a beautiful high profile show winner, which the customer wished to compete in the championship with. Work commitments prevented him from doing this, so he asked if I would take the seat when he couldn't make it. Unfortunately, the owner wasn't very confident and was not conditioned to the car, getting less than perfect results. However, the car proved itself as the events that I drove the car resulted mostly in winning as well as setting National and European records along the way. Simmering along in the background from 2002, I was spending some of my free time over at Peter Knights premises, putting together a TOP FUEL dragster, which had no deadline for completion at the time. |
