Firstly, welcome to the new D&S Racing page!!
Now on to the important stuff! Sportsman nationals was last weekend and unfortunately we had some wet weather but ultimately we had a good one. Jackie was out in her GT beetle for the first time at a race meet with the new cage which was beautiful built and fitted by RNJ Motorsport, the cage was tagged to 8.50 on Friday at Santa pod with the techs commenting on a quality job so thank you Rob you doing a smashing job.
We fitted a few new bits to the beetle including harness and tacho/shift light before we took the beetle scrutineering.
On to the racing and we qualified 6th out of the a 28 car field on the Saturday after two rounds of qualifying unfortunately missing out on Q3 due to the rain, however into Sunday eliminations and we broke out in the first round doing a P.B of 18.50 in the beetle. So after 13 years of owning Ginny the GT Beetle which was mostly a Sunday driver for Jackie, she decided balls to it and let’s go drag racing.
Hopefully with a few tweeks between now and summer nationals we can go faster again!!
Thank you Blackett Photography for some of the fantastic pictures as always.
