Here's a bone

Since Pete has been sidelined with a spun bearing, which means the engine is now at Jon Kaase's shop, I have only reported about the business of trying to raise funds to help us get back to racing. So I thought I would throw you guys (and gals) a bone! Something to keep you entertained...

In the pictures below Orlando and I are preparing to place the parachutes into the launchers. At this time we are just getting things ready, earlier this year. The bell housing is still out meaning that we have not gotten to assembling the clutch yet.

In the first one Eric can be seen inside the trailer working on the computer, while we wait for him to upload the data, we joke around. Very relaxed moment. The next picture paints a different picture, things tense up after Stephen hears a noise coming from the engine.

In this set, again very serious faces all around. As we were testing with King Kong IV, Pat Musi was at the track and he agreed to come on over to confirm our suspicions. Spun bearing... and more! 

Reality sets in! It is going to cost an arm and a leg to get this engine fixed. But the wheels are turning [in my head] and pretty soon, this small trailer will find his way back to Ronde Klip.

Knowing that it would be a while before we would be back at the track I had a group picture taken that Saturday night. The RJ built Cobalt awaits for his transporter.

You can help us get back to the track by buying one of our cool team apparel T-shirts. Click here for more information.

Pre-sale of our new T shirts

Even though I consider our Pro Stock operation to be one with a very low budget, I always strive to make the most with what we have and I constantly seek to push the boundaries.



Tyler Clark's rendition of Pete

It is with this in mind that I am very proud to announce that we are in the final stages of completing a design for our very first T-shirt. The design is in the very capable hands of Tyler Clark and the T- shirt used will be of high quality.

The picture on the right shows how PISS'D OFF PETE is depicted in our design. Of course, there is much more but I am not going to give anything else away, other than I am very proud of it.

At this time, we are taking pre-orders so that we can get the right sizes to the right people in the color they prefer. The shirts used for this pre-order all have been washed and treated to an hour in the clothes dryer, to insure that what you try on will fit you later as intended.
So that's either black or white for the fundraising price of Fls. 75,00 or long sleeved T shirts for Fls. 95,00. A portion of the sales will go to charity.

Should you be interested in pre-ordering one of the coolest drag racing T shirts on the island, then let me know by sending me an email at: daniel@dekortfamily.com

We only have a short window of opportunity to do this so please make good use of this opportunity.

Thanks for reading and see you at the races!
