The Snetterton Finale!

What a weekend! The last races of the season at Snetterton were two of the best – a great and fitting end to the season. So what happened I hear you ask? Following a couple of failed attempts on track at Cadwell Dan and Ollie had some work to do before Snetterton. Ollie had a problem with a throttle sensor which was easily rectified but Dan’s problem was more fundamental… a short time after Cadwell Dan discovered a heavy box in the corner of the garage containing odd implements. What could these be? These conspicuous metal objects seamed to fit nuts ...

A Promising Performance at Cadwell

It was a day of mixed fortunes at Cadwell Park on Saturday for the penultimate meeting of the Peter Best Insurance Challenge Championship, but certainly a day to remember! The usual suspects chose to confuse us all with a bit of a switch around for this meeting. Rob Spencer was waiting for his group C V8 to be straightened, and chose to bring out his group B V8. Barry ‘Vic Reeves’ Holmes switched to Simon Cripps’ group B 4 pot, leaving Terry Holmes to peddle his group C V8. Another interesting entry was Peter Andrews in Rob Huff’s group B 4 ...

Mallory Park 2009

The Mallory Park circuit in Kirkby Mallory was the scene for some great racing with the Peter Best Insurance Challenge Championship over the weekend. The most noticeable achievement for Team Neaves racing was that we all finished this time! Driving up on the Saturday night the weather was looking decidedly iffy; the rain was truly torrential. But it cleared for our arrival to the circuit, which meant we would be able to make our way to the circuit bar in relative comfort. ;) As we were taking the cars off some of the BCV8 boys came for a bit of a nosey ...

The K-Series B

Setting the scene Since I started circuit racing back in the early 90's I have always raced with the PBIC in its various forms. In the early days it took a while for me to get into the action but when I did it was fantastic. For me the lure has always been good close racing, the thrill of winning through good driving. In the later years, as I've moved up the classes, I've found it near impossible to obtain the same performance as Midgets and V8 powered cars. Simply, you can't get the power out of the B Series engine. Couple ...

The Shell…..

The Shell

As previously said, I ended up with a better condition shell to start with. The shell was acquired when Blaine had a nasty accident at Snetterton. A straight shell was needed to make a jig so Old Number 7 could be repaired. The shell was sold to Blaine by Max who many of you may remember as he used to run the club back in the Phoenix days.

The shell required new floors, sills, and a couple of minor panels. It was then sent off to be sand blasted. Even now we are still find grains of sand coming from everywhere!
