7B Superstock

I hope everyone has had a safe and healthy offseason. Once again we are sorry for the lack of updates but  the superstock 7B team have had a very busy offseason.. The car has been fully stripped and had steel replaced and most will notice we have gone to Chrome Molly outriggers for extra strength, A huge thank you must go to Graeme Coker and Red Steel for the work on the chassis. Chassis was then sandblasted by Napier Sandblasting then Ray and the team at Taradale Panel n Paint painted the chassis. Bryan Hartley freshed the engine. and we put her all back together big thanks must go to Terry and Jeff for the endless hours they has spend in the shed helping put 7b back together. As you can see 7b has come up very well and we are all very proud to have such talented people helping us Taradale panel and paint again did a fantastic job on the body and Deano at Signitup blew us all away with his design

We are proud to have Mag n Tyre Hastings, Red Steel, PlaceMakers, Taradale Panel n paint, Signitup, Tranzchill all back on board as sponsors and would like to welcome Stihl shop Napier and Affordable truck and Van hire on board.

Opening night Palmerston North. Race 1 grids were 1st up best dressed so we took grid 3. after the ute pulled off 7B went backwards and couldnt hold pace with any other cars then blew a fuse in the ignition. Back to the pits and fix car and back out for grid 3 took off pushed again and got caught up and made a mistake of trying to race and got tipped over unfortunatly that was our night.

Opening night Hawkes Bay: Having thought we had fixed our ignition problem. Grid 1 race 1 with Mag n Tyre sponsored car Steve Jude on 2 was hoping for a great tussle Green flag dropped and 7b decided it didnt wana race and went on 6 cylinders. race 2 wasnt much better so by now we are starting the think about buying a yacht. So loaded up brought her home gave 7b a quick wash and paint at 1.30am 7b was loaded up ready for display at PlaceMakers Palmerston North.

Quickly called into Bryan Hartleys to sort out our problem before heading to the track for round 1 of the PlaceMakers Superstock shootout. Having fixed the problem heading to Arena Manawatu. 24 Cars in attence we drew grid 20 had a great start to the race before everything in the engine shut off after being involved in an incident with Russal Harrop 24p while sitting 8th. Back to the pits and fixed the fuel pump and back for race 2 grid 8 started well  and managed to come home 4th Yay. Race 3 grid 9 and Dave Tarrant 57P took a ride on the wild side after that it was a pretty uneventful race and came home 4th again.

PlaceMakers was also the first trip for the bus and she went great it is so good everyone being in the same vehicle again.

Next meeting the the HB Speedway Fireworks spectactular be sure to be there will be a great nights racing.

Thanks
