Workshop Update: 12th September 2011

Firstly a big thanks to all those at TRAX for the invite to the event, what a superb day we had, possibly the busiest
and best event we have been too for a good few years.

Huge range of cars there and the site was too big for us to walk around, everyone we spoke to were so
complimentary of the car and it was very nice to hear, alot commenting on the fact that we do everything ourselves
and as a family, apart from chroming and anodizing... we try where ever possible to keep everything 'in-house' as
we know exactly what were dealing with then and only have ourselves to wait on.

This however makes us very busy, but busy is good, though we are still looking for crew members that are local to
us. (were based near to Benfleet, Essex) if interested please email at info@bennettracing.co.uk

We have also been invited to appear at TRAX 2012 as the organisers were very happy with the car and how we
conducted ourselves with the public. For 2012 we plan to take two of our cars, the Relentless altered and also the
DarkSide slingshot, we also plan to take part in the 0-60mph competition held there with the DarkSide slingshot too,
were aiming to around 2.5-3 seconds to 60mph.

The DarkSide slingshot is coming along well, we are now at the stage where we will be mounting the engine and
gearbox 6 inches further back to give better weight transference and will also be making a motor plate as for some
reason this car didn't run with one, this will also make the car launch harder. The cage has also be heavily modified
and now sits 4 inches lower which has really transformed the 'tallness' of the car and fits much better with the scale
of the rest of the chassis. We also just received a nice box of parts from K&N including 3 sets (different lengths) of
polished alloy trumpets which will look superb on the Pinto engine.

We also are making progress on the SuperPower Bantam altered, the fuel tank drawings have been sent to Forge Motorsport, next up once this is fitted we will make the tank straps to hold the tank in place and plan to use carbon fibre for this, we have lots of this thanks to Tillett racing seats, with the look we are going for on this car, with the tank made to fit the curve of the front of the chassis it should give a real sleek (we hope) look.

We are still on the hunt for a suitable scoop for this car too, either fibreglass or carbon fibre if possible, similar to the
a fuel style if anyone has one lying about somewhere.

We also have another car added to the Bennett Racing stable, this time a hot rod, not sure of the HP, depends on
the drivers foot power, bought this for my little girl, she is only 1 (in a week) so it will probably be a present for next
year or maybe Christmas, but I couldn't resist!
