The Easter Thunderball proved to be a memorable meeting for Andy and the team, due to a reason that they'd sooner forget...

As Andy tells it....."Well the weekend could have gone better . It started ok, an 8 flat out of the box with a bit of a lift as the car seemed to launch to the left. The second lap was 8.1 with a bigger lift as the car went harder to the left so we pondered whether to make some changes to the car or not. For the third pass the only change we made was from the left lane as the previous two laps were in the right. It cured that problem, the launch was straight and hard but then we seemed to have a bigger problem (who let the rods out!) I can't say anything about what happened next that hasn't been said already. Upon closer examination it would appear to be cylinder wall failure that was the start of the carnage".

"I would like to thank the Santa Pod Raceway crew for a very quick clean-up, Gleeson Wright Security, my crew cheif Mick Coombs, and many friends who are doing their best to allow us to be out at Shakespeare County Raceway with our recycled block from a certain big black Chevy truck (recycled Super Street parts.....cant be!)".

"Commiserations to the other victims and congratulations to Kev and Andy , It shows again that anything can happen and you dont need to be super quick to get good points, and for us definately a case of HERO to ZERO!"

"See you at the park"
