Next generation of Collingwood’s begins
Yes its started, Larissa, my 12 year old daughter will be racing this year at Stratford in a new ministock. We have put together a new chassis, an engine which is the standard Nissan/Datsun ( thanks to Paul Woods of Guthrie Bowron Taranaki) and a nice shiny body to go over the top, design and colour to be finalised. Its all ready to go together this week when I find the time, and with a few practise runs out the back will be ready to go well before the new season.
As for me?
Due to have an op on my collar bone soon, the break didn’t heal, in fact it didn’t even come close to knitting, The bone still sits about half an inch apart, so they are going to plate and pin it, should be stronger than ever, the diagnosis was that it snapped in the accident in a place I had broken it a few years back, which they told me must have never healed. So all should be good there.

Bit of a bummer really, it was one of the contributors to not heading to the World F1 finals in the UK this year, but on the other side it will give us time to fine tune for next year all going well.
Good luck to Malcom Ngatai who will be headed over flying the Kiwi flag, Im sure he will find it an experience and a half, the people, the speedway culture and the cars themselves.
Some speculation as to what I may be doing next season, I’m looking at a bit of a change at the moment, and it looks pretty exciting, but I haven’t finalised anything yet so all I can say is
WATCH THIS SPACE. . . . . . . .
Cheers
