it doesn't matter what's done to the engine, it matters whats done to the chassis and how good the driver is. no point in having 300bhp if you have to slow down to 40 for each bend

the whole series is sponsered by what you see
Toyota
Fensport
Toyo
Prolex
Blitz
Turbo Dynamics
Millers
part of the regs are that we wear their stickers, and of course we also benefit from their sponsorship

other than that, one is Dave's "starletgtturbo" because he built my engine :)
the electrical company is mine ;)

look forward to seeing you Dave :rockon:

third round of the Toyota Series was this last weekend at the Teesside Autodrome
great track, but became very slippery after a downpour
managed to win the Class B 1ST place again, beating the Fensport Glanza by a few hundreths of seconds
came in 12th overall
considering the competition i felt very proud to get that high
