Kevin24th March 2020Sitting here at home, due to Covid-19 and being on lockdown, we sadly (but sensibly) made the decision to put the fuel bike on hold. The last bits on the list for Jon at Webster Race Engineering to do, will have to stay that way for a while and the toys will have to be put on hold. This period of uncertainty has put us into responsible adult mode, and monies are best left in the bank for mortgage and bills. Because we have no idea how long this is actually going to go on for, we have brought the bike home, as we are able to continue to do our bit, and work on it here, which we can do shut in the garage, at no risk to anyone else. It was also a good opportunity to see if it would fit logically in the race truck! This it does! It’s disappointing, but rest assured once this all blows over, the bike will have the last bits done at WRE, and we will be back on course again. We will continue to update from home for now. [...]
Kevin15th March 2020It’s been a long time since we have made any progress reports on the fuel bike build. With moving house, a trip to Valdosta and Christmas we had to slow down on the build for a while. Once January came around I took a trip over to see Jon at Webster Race Engineering and discussed what was left to be done and he slotted the bike back into his schedule. The exhausts have been fabricated, oil and fuel tanks mounted and wheelie bars fabricated and mounted. Nick at Suzuki Performance Spares has supplied new steering dampers from Hyperpro as well as new Hel master cylinders and EBC brake discs. We are now starting on bodywork, this is going to be designed and fabricated by Webster Race Engineering. [...]

Jake31st May 2019Having headed to the Main Event for an easy weekend we bumped into Tethys on Thursday night who was short of crew and unable to run for the weekend. He offered me the opportunity to come and meet with him and the crew the next morning to learn the routine and see if I felt able to help out for the weekend as Top Fuel were not running until Saturday. I soon realised that the amount of work that goes into running these cars is on a completely different level. The engine is completely stripped down to a bare crankshaft and block at the end of every run and to add to this the rules only allow 90 minutes turn around time. With a lot of guidance from the team I ran through the routine once on Friday and discussed some ways to speed up for the real thing. Including gathering a selection of 5 torque wrenches for my tool tray alone! I was also nominated to drive the tow car which leads to a very strange view in the mirror. Thanks to a lot of help from the whole team I managed to just about keep up with the speed the team work at and we managed to get the car ready for all the qualifying runs and one round of eliminations. Massive thanks to Tethys for the opportunity to work on the car and to Ben and Lewis his crew, everyone from the Erbacher Racing team and Tony Shorthall for all their advice as well as stepping in to help me keep up when necessary, especially between rounds. I can honestly say I’ve never worked as hard at a race meeting as I did this weekend, but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless. [...]
Kevin31st May 2019After a weekend helping my old friend René with his Top Fuel bike at the Main Event at Santa Pod, we discussed trying to find some time to test the Shark attack racing Pro stock bikes. With various options dismissed we decided to enter Competition bike at the Summer Nationals so 13 years after entering Competition Bike for the first time I’m back to try my luck, I think I’ll need some with the quality of bikes and riders in this catch all class, I think I’m being thrown to the lions.
