"Its a Long way to the top if you want to do more than roll...."

I always start out here saying that it has been so long since I have written. Lets face it, there just hasn't been all that much to write about in the last few months. I have been working flat chat at uni, our engine has been getting something more than a little TLC at John Fab's engine shop and we have basically been stationary since April. This isn't a good state to be in as a team trying to get together and make a mark on this championship.

As a result it has been made definite now that we will be missing the 4th round of the championship at Oran Park at the end of this month. This coupled with the findings of taking our engine apart have made us realise that in order to run competitively with the car we currently have, a partial split of resources and commitments will need to be made by the team to both historic and current day competitions.

This will include contesting the Tasman revival meeting in December for the Historics, as well as the last 2 rounds of the NSW State championships. This is all an endeavour to bring as much exposure to our sponsors as possible, give as much driving experience to me as possible and to salvage what we can of a shocker season.

Sometimes of late, I can even forget that I am involved in Formula Vee. How weird is that? I am so far out from any other racers, I have a car that has been on blocks for weeks now and it seems that there is no end in sight to the lay off. But I have to thank so much those people who have been trying to keep the dream alive for us. Specifically Dad and John Fab. These 2 guys will be the reason that I am on the track for August! You have put in SO much work, and I know I have a temper, and I know that I don't thankyou enough, but please take this as some thanks for all that you have both done...

In keeping with this being the place of early breaking news, let me just leave ya'll with a teaser of what the next few months hold for Lasts and Lasts and myself...

1. An academic supported research and development program
2. An Overseas drive (???)
3. Team Pink Launch
4. A new brand of desire...

Excited??? Wanting to know more... Join the club!
