The bit about the 'elfers

Now I know Team has me in it, but these are the others that make us such a good combination. :)

This is temporarily bodged until I get some more time to work on this section, which will eventually list all the events each member has attended, and any photo's they are in, as well as more details about themselves, and possibly their own diary/blog.



Nearly the Complete Team together in one photograph. A rare occasion indeed!

Les - AKA The Gnome, Beardy bloke, ZZ, Leso, Uncle Albert (and many others that are not printable)
	Lyn says - Les was in his first season of drag racing when we got together (if I'd known then what I know now - only joking). He often gets frustrated when other people don't seem as keen as he is to get things done immediately, and he has to be reminded that for most people drag racing is a hobby but to him it is an obsession. He's like a stick of rock - you break him in half and he'd have Drag Racing written right through him. It's not only the riding of the bike that he enjoys it's the working on the bikes, building and working out how he can make them go quicker, look prettier etc. He really enjoys a challenge and the words 'I can't do that' really don't come into his vocabulary at all. Not only does he race but Les is an ACU scrutineer, checking the drag bikes over at the meetings and performing many other duties that the position holds. At present is also the Chairman of the National Association of Supertins (yes a drag racing club). My Les looks like a typical biker, shaved head, tattoos etc. (you can see from the pics on this site) but he is also an excellent friend to so many people - he really does have a soft side. Wouldn't be without him.

Tim - TC(P), Captain Chaos
	Les says - Tim has been working as crew on our team for around 3 years now and is totally hooked on Drag Racing (there is no cure) Tim and Lyn work together on the start line, Tim finds the sticky part of the track and takes the rear tyre and track temperatures (which we keep a record of). Tim also studies the timing tickets and anything else he can get his hands on. He helps with the loading and unloading of the bike and is an excellent navigator. They say that 3 is a crowd but it works for us! TC? Well 'Team Chef' (what else) because that's his day job. And the P is for P**s taking which he is also very good at - most of the time it's at my expense. Tim is definitely not a morning person, it can take hours (and mug fulls of coffee) to get him up and ready for action. Unless, of course, it has something to do with his daughter or drag racing and then he's really up and ready. Good boy Tim - thanks for all your help over the seasons and for helping make up an excellent team.

Tara - aka Slim / Slimbo the Team Model
	Slim is a total petrol head, and loves drag racing/bikes/cars/tractors, etc, anything made of metal. Slim is right there when there is work to be done, working on any 3 of our drag bikes, she loves it. Also helps to load and unload, and does not miss one/any of my runs. Plans for 2011: slim plans to race with NAST, in the street et class. She has already got her eye on tilly3, when I am racing the Polharris. For now, slim is our very own team model. She has done two photo shoots, and did very well. There is only one place on Earth where she wants to be, and that’s Santa Pod. I think slim has got the drag racing bug. Good girl.
