Upcoming race: Extreme Christmas Shoot Out

The new one on top of the old.

On Monday, our new wheelie bars have arrived from RJ. Just a few hours earlier we got back our old titanium wheelie bars from our guys at shipyard (DOK). They fit perfectly as well. So now we have these as backup.

Accordingly, PISS'D OFF PETE was entered in the Extreme Christmas Shoot Out Race of next week. Our competition will be Frank Brandao's King Kong IV, with the legendary Pat Musi behind the wheel.

There will be testing this Saturday at the Curacao International Raceway from 17:00 - 23:00 hrs.

See you at the track!

Extreme Christmas Shoot Out pre-sale today

Today PISS'D OFF PETE will be at the pre-sale for the Extreme Christmas Shoot Out, organized by Meyer Racing.

There will be special prices for the tickets to this event and also for the Don Omar concert. The concert tickets will go for just Fls. 50,= while the drag race package are just Fls 100,=.  And, in keeping with tradition, there will be a DJ who I am quite sure will only play Reggaeton.

So make good use of this opportunity and visit the parking lot of UTS Business Center at Zeelandia between five and seven o'clock today.

See you there!


Some promotion girls adorn Pete

By the way, now I know why Pete has a bad attitude! Just look at what they did to him that night. Urven, you still have to help me straighten out the front of the Cobalt! 

Thanks for reading.

Name, Number & Flames

As the end to the wait comes into view, activities in the garage have started to pick up.

Like us, many racers are holding fundraising activities. One of them, the Black Max Racing Team have invited us to attend their car show this weekend. If we finish the car in time, we might be in a position to help them draw a larger crowd and in doing so raise more funds. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 7, at the Stadium Ergilio Hato (formerly known as SDK), from 19:00 to 23:00 hours.

A shout out goes out to our friend Andre van Hoop, from Visuals Graphic Studio, who in spite of it being a national holiday, came out to help us with the vinyl lettering on the car.
It should be noted that the graphics on the car as well as the decals were designed by him and cut by Tramm Imaging, our sole supplier of racing decals and vinyls.

See you at the races.
