Rob Millward, Crew Chief for Graham
Ellis' Olds Cutlass has been in touch with his own review
of the teams Power Nats exploits.
"Well obviously we're pretty
pleased with our performance at the weekend, it wasn't looking
too good to start with however, as when I spotted a bit of
flakey paint on the chassis it turned out to be a 3"
long crack around the top front strut mount! Fortunately Kev
Taylor & co came to the rescue & loaned us a TIG plant
& big generator, enabling us to make the first qualifier
for which we would like to say thanks guys! First pass was
interesting as we went with very low tyre press due to a faulty
gauge. We came out for the second one with the correct tyre
press & bingo 7.58 @ 180 mph ! The rest of the weekend
was a bit of an anti-climax due to the weather, lets hope
the big bang is better."
"While we are giving out the thank you's, can we say
thanks to Motor Shack,
as this is our first weekend using Klotz 118 race fuel, also
thanks to Chris at Wisbech American Street & Performance
(01945 588091) for helping out with a new radiator & some
other race parts. Thats it for now see you all at the pod,"
Cheers,
Rob
