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.
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.
This is my third year with the team, and this will be my first year as a racer, I will be racing on my Honda CB 500, called Henry, in SuperTwins Street ET.
I first got the drag racing bug in 2009, when Les took me to Santa Pod's Easter Thunder ball, it was awesome, I got a grand tour of the pits, met all the racers and sat in and on many different mind blowing bits of machinery. I was taken up into the tower to watch Fire Force go up the track, which absolutely blew me away and also got introduced to Nigel & Jules in Nitro FM, and to top it all off I got a job in signing on.
Since then I have been training as an ACU Scrutineer. I am also a crew member for Les' Gasser Tilly 3, I help prep the bike in the workshop before and after meetings, I help load up the race truck and unload and set up the pit, during racing I make sure Tilly has fuel and the air shifter is pumped up and clean the tyre. I also tow Tilly to the pairing lanes and back through the pits after a run and do the burnouts with TC who is our trusty crew chief.
This year is going to be pretty full on for me, as I?m going to be racing in SuperTwins, working as an ACU Scrutineer and crewing for Les. I hope to keep you all updated on how things go.
See you at the track, Slimbo
