No racing this month, so some time to do a few bit on the vitara... but the big new this month is our article in Total Off Road Magazine. The 4 page article tells the story of our first year of racing the vitara in the SCOR championship. Its in the shops now but you can see a preview of it in the Blog.

February-2007 |
Well, the 2007 Season got off to an early start this month with Round 1 held at Sidbury Hill in Wiltshire. Unfortunately due to a mess-up with my MSA license renewal not being back I wasn't able to race, so instead went along to watch and film the other competitors, see the updated videos page for the video. Also this month we got a small mention in Total Off Road Magazine where a roundup of the 2006 SCOR championship was published. Find a copy of it in the Blog.

January-2007 |
Last Saturday I attended the Southern Counties Off Road Club annual prize giving at the Elm Tree Pub in Ringwood, Hampshire. The club chair-person, Jane, was an excellent MC for the evenings proceedings and presented the cups for the Safari and Trialing Championships, including presenting me with a cup for winning Class A in 2006.

November-2006 |
The seventh and final round of the 2006 Championship was held at the Sidbury Hill at the begining of November.
We had a great days racing at the fantastic Sidbury Hill site. The event was not trouble free for us but we claimed a finish. There is a write up of the event
in the blog. We managed to take some good video of the event which has been edited together and can be found in the
updates videos section. A collection of excellent photos were taken of our car by Photographic Memories at the
event and can be found along with a few others in the gallery. |
October-2006 |
The begining of October saw round 6 of the Championship at the Long Valley site. The weather was terrible and we didn't have a good day recording our second DNF of the season. More about this in the blog section. If you have visited the site before you may also notice the new logo above.
The search for a logo has been going on all year but we have yet to find one we like, so we are going to give this one a try and see how we like it! Also this month the results and championship pages have been restructured. Things have been changed around so its possible to see how each driver is doing after each event.

September-2006 |
There have been a couple of additions to the site this
month. Firstly there was the Horam event so there is a write-up in the blog
along with a new photo gallery and a short video in the
videos section. Also this month the events
section has been added to the site. This page uses the fantastic google maps service to show the location of events in our Championship. The name, location, date and grid reference of each event is shown to give people the opportunity to come along and spectate.

August-2006 |
Its been a busy month for the site.
Firstly there was the Worthy Down Safari in late July. A write up of the event
can be found in the blog section of the site. There
are also 2 new videos in the video
section of the site. The first is a short 'medley' of in car clips, the second is video of
other competitors around the course. There is also a
gallery of pictures of the event. The gallery section of the site has been totally
reworked and updated this month and more pictures of previous events added courtesy of
Photographic Memories.

July-2006 |
The main update this month is
to the blog page. The format of the blog (or 'weblog' - which is basically an online diary) has been changed to give a short extract
of each of the entries. This should allow visitors to navigate the pages
more easily and keep up to date with our progress in this years championship.
Additionally the results have been
given there own page. This contains event results, championship standings and an events calendar. Also a video of the 2005 SCOR event has
been added to the videos section, at the bottom
of the page.

June-2006 |
A few more things have been
added to the site this month. The biggest addition is the guestbook.
If you visit the site please leave sign the guestbook with your comments,
they can be about the site or the racing or the vehicle. This month I have
also added a write up and gallery from the excellent Minehead Safari
as well as a couple of videos from the event. |
May-2006 |
As there was no competition
round this month I have done a bit of development on the site. The videos
section is now using the google video beta to embed and play all the
clips as this (free) service supports clips over 10 minutes long. This is
good for two reasons; it means I can display clips of entire runs from
events and it means all my bandwidth wont get used up by people downloading
the clips of events from my site! Bandwidth costs money! |
April-2006 |
April has been a busy month on
the site. First there was the punishing event at Slab
Common. We finished, eventually, but it was hard work. Have a read of
the write up in the blog section and a look at the pictures in the
gallery. Also I have added a video section to the site where you
can download in-car video footage from Slab Common and a short clip
from the Sidbury Hill event Ive published using the
http://www.youtube.com/ video
service. |
