So, that was quite an end to the year. I just want to thank all the guys that managed to stay the course for the entire season for their efforts in getting this thing as close as they have. It’s been a massive learning curve for me making each change and seeing where it affects the car. Sam Taylor has taken his roll in the clutch and his detail and efforts have been nothing short of brilliant, Dave Bateman and Gary Shearman on the heads have formed a great alliance and been as solid as any team I’ve ever been around, new comers Adam Bridgewater and Codey Tucker have worked their asses off on everything from the small stuff people don’t see to Codey taking on a roll around the bottom end, great job guys. Mick Sharpe thank you for taking on a roll that many would perhaps shy away from having to be the link between me and the car 🤣. Craig Dixon for his help when things were tight. ASD Fuel Tech UK Authorised Dealer for their support in so many things behind the scenes. Sparrow Recovery James Sparrow without your input and help this would be a dead duck, your support for me is more appreciated than you could probably ever imagine. As ever Louise Tamplin has been my rock, she just knows when I’m close to having a moment and most of the time brings me back down….. Love you x. Which leaves one last person…. Jason Phelps it’s safe to say as much of a nob you are (keeping this polite 🤣)you’ve kept my s**t together (more importantly off the wall) and helped me enjoy this more as the year went on, thanks mate for keeping both mine and the other guys spirits up!
The aims were to be in the 4’s and get out clean… mission accomplished.
Onto the winter and looking forward to next season already!

Nitro Funny Car - Old school fan favourite Jason Phelps at the wheel of the Toyota Camry ‘One Bad Texan’ putting in one of their best runs of the weekend! 💥💥💥

It’s fantastic to see Jason ironing out issues with the team, having been in the fuel funny car scene for many years now this makes him an ideal driver to help get the car down the track!

Again, taming 12,000bhp is no laughing matter! Watch as the car shakes itself from side to side with Jason clicking off early at the first signs of the car getting loose!

We look forward to seeing what Elsom Motorsport can pull out the bag with Jason and the car 🔥🔥🔥

Nitro Funny Car - Fan favourite, driver Jason Phelps takes to the hot seat in the Toyota Camry ‘One Bad Texan’ during the FIA Main Event held at Santa Pod Raceway!

Jason is no rookie to the scene, the car itself has seen various drivers now but we throughly hope to see Jason getting the Texan down the track over the year!

Taming 11,000bhp is absolutely mind blowing, watch as the car throws itself around when pedalled!

Left lane looks bad…. So uneven compared to the right.

What’s going down Texanites?

We’ve got some good news, and we’ve got some bad news!

Let’s start with the good news ✊

The good news is, of course; more work is currently being done on the car! To be precise a lot of re wiring and plumbing! See pictures👇

The bad news is, we sadly haven’t got certain parts to make an appearance at the first Funny Car Cup event of the year after all! We was always aiming to be at each event of the year but with the nature of the sport and how costly it can be combined with shortage of parts, the inevitable has happened.

But with that said we are relentlessly working on the Texan in a bid to get ourselves ready for the upcoming coming events after the Festival of Power!

As always,

- Keep it Texan 🇺🇸

Happy birthday to Mr Elsom himself! 🎂🎉🎈

Guy Martin was a guest of the team down on the start line at the 2025 FIA European Finals and helped push the car up to the start line after the burnout. Guy was shown where to be on the start line by crew guy Carl Kirk.

Andy Raw is the driver and he shall continue to drive owner Rob Elsom’s strikingly-wrapped ‘One Bad Texan’ Nitro Funny Car in 2026.

Best of luck to the guys!

It doesn’t just stop there with the new shoes we’ve just placed on the Texan, We’ve also taken the motor out the frame for a camshaft swap! This new blower combination will be way more complete once finished and by complete .. we mean effectively better than how it was before! 🔥

There’s more to do, and more to come but we’re feeling positive and excited by the progress so far and thought it would be rude not to share it with everyone

Who’s going to the Festival of Power at Santa Pod Raceway to see the Funny Car Cup begin?

Massive thank you to all our sponsors and support 🙏🏼

Remember, if you’re interested in sponsoring a nitro funny car team then all you’ve got to do is send a message over and we’ll go from there 🤘🏼

Yes yes guys and girls, it’s **update time!**

We’re placing new fresh rubber onto The Texan today!

New tyres, more grip, same mission! Quicker, harder and faster as always here at Elsom Motorsport.

Nothing like new shoes right? 🔥

Stay tuned for further updates/upgrades over the next few days!

Many major thanks to all our sponsors/support.

As always, Keep it Texan 🇺🇸
