Took the old girl up to Shakespeare County Raceway on Sunday for 'Gary's Picnic' as I race in the Outlaw Street Series. The weather was ideal, dry, cold and very windy although it was a rare tailwind!! :D After a few tweeks here and there and no wheel spinning as per usual, I recorded 4 PB's...

Night racing at Action was ace!! :mrgreen: Plus to top it off I achieved a new PB with a 15.92 :D Well chuffed with the old girl and enjoy the fact that she's still a fully loaded (street driven) Dormobile/party bus to boot with pop-top, beds and rack etc 8) Mad but fun!! Cheers Chris.
