So it's that time of year when we pop outdoors to race on a Wednesday evening at Bashley
I've just checked the weather and although it's looking wet during the day the evening is looking dry!
So Touring Car or Short Course Truck?? What are you driving tomorrow???

Racing is a GO :-)

It was a good evening! A little cold but me and the old man managed 18s and and i managed to squeeze a 19 in the last race so not too bad for the first time back outside.
Im assuming all is going ahead as planned for this Sunday? Can anyone else confirm if they will be racing? Its a bit of a drive for me to get down to realize nobody has turned up!
