With our new TQ midget nearing completion, we have redirected our attention to refurbishing our trailer. Following six years of frequent travel throughout the country, our trailer is due for some essential maintenance. We have begun by cutting and extending the frame from 1600 height to 2 meters in height and a few more modifications, creating a more comfortable and spacious interior. Aslo fitting new white ACM panels to give the trailer a modern and sleek appearance. We would like to acknowledge the significant contribution of Michael Gurnett at Truck mounted ltd to this project and can't wait to show it off

Cheers KC

Sorry long post and update on where I'm at with the car. Slowly but surely piecing my car back together, I have a new rear axle and all new components I need to assemble the rear axle to put in the car, the car itself is about 80% complete, just waiting on a complete new wiring loom so I can fire the newly built engine. Now comes the part i want to get off my chest, I took a season off racing because i was getting to the point i wasn't enjoying racing as much as I did when I first started racing this class. So i decided to take the season off the plan was to sell the car. So I stripped down the car and started to rebuild it i got a new panel kit done and a few bars added to the chassis the chassis was fully sand sandblasted and powder coated the engine was sent to R&R Powersports for a full engine rebuild as it hadn't been done since owning the car (5Yrs) I purchased a complete new front end axle and components as well as the purchase of a complete new rear end. Now the reason for the new rear axle is my was severely damage and bent and needed to be replaced. Now I've been told alot of things over the past few months your wasting money, your not good enough, you can't drive your car you should just give up and so on it's people like that who take the fun out of this sport I was told by a very good friend of mine who is no longer with us to never give up. While putting this car together and making it look like a hot rod I have gotten the fire back inside of me and I will be returning to the dirt next season and no sooner i want this car to be 110% before i get back in the seat, so thanks to those individuals who send me hate messages you have stuck a core inside of me to never give up and keep going and continue to do this sport that I love.

Cheers KC
