2008 V8's....tttthats all folks !!!
Yes its now official, Mallory was our last event, Brands and Snetterton have been canned, so for those of you who missed us away from the Rock and could'nt be botherd to travell to support us......well enough said !!!
looking back at the 08 season it has seen the V8's race at 6 of the 10 scheduled meetings, and fielded 1- 7 cars in those, Colin being the one who made all the races and justly made the "Best V8 Driver of the year" with a closely fought fight for the next best driver,s, it ending up with Paul Bowman, Tony Hurdle and Chris Richardson lining up behind Colin and Duncan with all his car troubles galantly following in behind them, another 4 drivers, Shane Breaton, Miguel gomes, Rob Compton and Phil Weaver made it a total of 9 drivers who had a go in 08, when i tell you that having 18 drivers agreeing to pay in advance to race at Rockingham last November, and get turned away, and to only get a maximum of 7 at Brands you could say it got a little disheartening for those who stuck with it, and im sure the same for those fans who came and gave us a look as well.
These last two meetings however have been very good, both Snetterton and today at Mallory being well attended with old friends from Rockingham showing up, both events looked busy and new friends have been made.
So improvements have been made, we are able to race away from the Oval but would like to race the Oval as well, Tony today was overall best V8 driver, there was 11 cars on track, 5 V8's instead of 6 thanks to a last minite hitch for Colin's second driver, but what we do next season is up in the air, a mix of tracks with Rockingham in there is what is needed to get the other cars out but one thing is for sure higher car numbers on any of the tracks is what is most needed, 16 V8's at mallory today would of been awesome.... but to those who did it this year, drivers and crew and loyal supporters, you have been most Magnificent, Thank you all.
