Well OK, while there is no on-track work, there is quite a bit to do off-track to both the Datsuns (SSS and the GX Coupe). Firstly the SSS is rather tired and really needs a lot of work to get it back into full race trim. For one the engine needs refreshing (rings and bearings) for a start and the rear suspension needs some work as well. Tyres are still reasonable but ideally a fresh pair would do nice. Unfortunately the budget is simply not enough to do everything all at once. Also remember there's a Nissan 200SX as well which must be tweaked to do REAL battle in Clubman Cars. All a trifle much when the only real sponsor is the back pocket (Mr Wallet).
As for the little GX Coupe, what can I say? For one, the front suspension really needs some 
serious work done soon as she's rolling a little too much nowadays around corners and is definitely rubbing down on the tyres under braking. The little 1400cc engine is now going on for 11 months without a hiccup or misfire and will sure need a little refreshing very soon. Unfortunately the same problem exists as above with Mr Wallet. On a more positive note, the reliability and endurance that this motor has performed to is absolutely gob smacking to say the very least. Currently I am now 17 points clear in class D and lead with a comfortable cushion between second place, while overall I am currently lying 2nd in the championship. While this is not in any way important nor what I am all about, it is very reassuring to know that this little Datsun GX Coupe is super competitive in it's current class and format, all while I have yet so much to learn as far as being a race driver is concerned. For now I just wish to continue on this learning curve in my first ever full race season and ideally want to finish the season well which I know will mean the WORLD to my 'Boet' whom meticulously prepares my car for each race.
Rumours are that some class D competitors have already rebuilt engines with even more power, are changing gearboxes and diff ratios and some have or are even building complete new cars to be more competitive in this class. For now though I'm still safe. For how long, I don't know!!
So, while May month appears to be all quiet, behind the scenes it actually seems many are busy with serious preparation for the upcoming races which lay ahead. June and July months are going to provide some really interesting and competitive 'Classic Car' racing. Till next time then.
Thanks 'Boet'
