Thursday 16th October

Half way through the month already - so little done, so much to do.......where does the time go? I *still* haven't started that red Sprite, but it's set fair for the weekend so perhaps Saturday.

Radio this morning was full of doom and gloom, millions thrown unemployed by Christmas, soup kitchens on the streets, complete cessation of all economic activity. I don't think it's going to be *that* bad but I suspect we'll all be a little quiet. Racewear may certainly experience a downturn, but I've high hopes that our SKID CAR activities will still be in demand. After all, what better way to save money than not crashing your car in the first place?

That SCCR gearbox I bought turned out to be a gem. It's even got a hydraulic clutch thrust mechanism on it, that's worth a few bob. So gearbox sorted, now need to spend more time acquiring engine bits. Oh and earning money to do so!

Signed up for the Club 100 kart race at Spa Francorchamps - everyone thinks I'm doing the full circuit on a 100cc kart, now THAT would be daft! Should be a good weekend and is stonking value. We've got a new team member in Midgetmax Racing, so we'll try and get a test race at Thruxton first - welcome aboard Matt.

More web site work today...I've got the shopping cart working, I want to finish the customer facing pages before integrating the two. It's not hard work but frustrating, as the pages seem to re-format themselves for no reason sometimes :-(

Got to go, time to wake up the rest of the family.
