Lizz Charman
Nitrous Junkie HQ
It's seems a very long time since we updated you with anything at all, so no time like the present.
With only a few weeks to go before the Festival of Power at Santa Pod, we feel it safe to say that Kev will definitely not be racing this season. The general idea being that he supports Jake and Lizz, and does some work to the house, as there will be some money in the bank !
He finished in 2nd Place at Santa Pod in Pro Stock, and found that he is not cured, still has the nitro bug, so it has to be Top Fuel or nothing !
Lizz will be racing in Comp bike again, and would like to thank all the "bloody marvellous" people who voted for her, and helped her win the Paul Giddings Memorial Trophy, for over coming adversity. From broken wrists, to broken engines, to running sevens, was more than she could have hoped for at the end, but what a fantastic end. She is now very much looking forward to the new season, and seeing what can be achieved.. Big thanks to John Austin who has let Lizz use the chassis for another year.
Jake had a learning curve last season, changing small things, and getting faster, getting to grips with the Junior Bike, and really coming into his own, finishing also in 2nd place at Santa Pod (like Father like Son) and can't wait for the first meeting.
The Crew will consist of Kev, Sarah (Minx) Chapman, who will hopefully be about a bit, and Chris Pyke.... without these guys we would be nothing!!
We are also delighted to announce that Lizz and Jake will be sponsored by Kev's employer Ensys. Kev spoke to Doug Cheke, the Director of the Company, to ask if there was any possibility that his previous sponsorship could be transferred to them, and he was happy to do this. We would like to thank him so much for this, and and financial backing is always very much appreciated.
Meanwhile if there is anyone out there who would like to give us any support at all no matter how small, spark plugs, nitrous, fuel or tyres or even a meeting by meeting package, please get in touch.
See you at the track !
