well there's yer problem right there! Yer damn wheel is on tha wrong aside o; tha car 'n yuh got yuh a twelve year ol' adriven it!

I think if you washed the car you'd really improve the aerodynamics. 

 

Ok seriously, can you write a few words on how the dirt track racing scheme works over there?  Years ago I've been to Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth.  Unfortunately all for just a few days at a time during a port visit or conference.  I wish I had known about this, would have been way cool to catch a race.

but our tracks are not just and oval

No the steering is on the RIGHT !!!!! side not the wrong side :P

and yes he is 12

and he only raced 1/2 the season and still finished 4th outright for the season missed out on 3rd place by 1 point

and there was 12 cars in his class

That should buff out.

 

I'm hoping when my little bloke gets to the same age he'll have the bug to go racing like his dad.

and no to the buff out the shell is twisted in 2 places

I've never seen anything this amazing before, I assume/demand more information on the suspention setup during the reshell process, I think I need one of these for the streets of GA!
