Start of 2009
Happy New Year to everyone! Its been a mad last
couple of weeks after a quiet family christmas at
home. We got the car back from the bodyshop about
4 days before it went to the Autosport Show and
had loads to do but as always we got there at the
last minute and it all came together and looked
fabulous. Autosport was great fun as I got to
drive a couple of the other Super Mighty Minis in
the Live Action Shows which was awesome, thanks
to Scotty and Pete Crewes for trusting me in
their cars, it was like being back in a ministox
again on the short oval circuit and in front of a
big crowd. We were also entrusted with driving
the Pistonheads super sports cars around the
indoor arena, I got to drive a Lotus Europa Black
Diamond worth £120k! Very nice apart from the
fuel light was on all the time which I kept
telling them about until it finally ran out of
petrol in the middle of the arena and I had to be
pushed off which was embarrassing but quite funny.
Back to the serious stuff, I have been working
very hard to get myself sponsorship to keep me
racing this year and Im pleased that I have
secured a deal with Richard Egger Insurance which
is going to be a big help for the year. Lots of
nice people have helped me with parts and stuff
for the car aswell, please have a look at my
sponsors page for the full list. I am so pleased
that thanks to my sponsors I will be able to keep
racing and my aims for this season are to do more
testing and to do every championship round, to
get my first podium finish and to retain the
Ladies Championship for a third year as no-one
has won it three times. My first round is at
Cadwell Park on 19 April, I cant wait but there
is some serious staying in, working hard and
saving money to be done before then!
