Chris went out in race 1 and had an ok race, Nick went out in race 2 and was doing well until he spun it on turn 2 on lap 7. The officials told him to stay where he was so he wasnt allowed to finish the race. The next race out, Nick was out again and blew everyone away to get second to Michelle Wymer (75m) who was having a good nights racing aswell. Chris went out last race, but the exhaust had troubles again and that set him back so he finished more to the middle of the grid. Chris also spun 2 people out, one being Jade Dyson of all people (that <I>was</I>  an accident though).</div> <div> It's too late tonight upload any new photos to the photos page, next update?

The temperature was off the clock and all the steam came up on the red light (this was Nicks second race) so that was that. On the positive side, Nick may have had the best race of his whole season. He was winning for a while, but the car let him down.

Chris went ok in 16m, but Nick was another matter. Nick was borrowing Aaron Staats car (51m) since Aaron's bought a new car (12a). Nick was going well in race 1 until the front right tyre blew out on turn 2. He skidded out towards the wall, when Aaron comes along with nowhere to go. Aaron ended up on the wall, Nick accused of deliberate hitting and wasn't allowed to race for the rest of the meeting. The officials up at Waikaraka had some wierd idea that starting the fast cars on turn 4, the slow cars next to turn 1, and the middle ones in the middle was smart. The fast ones got stuck behind the slow ones and caused chaos since they couldn't get past. All the mount cars started at the back so none of us did very well place wise.

Its got posts in it, so go for it people!</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 197 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     27/01/04</b></div> <div> School is looming once again, unfortunately (it starts on wednesday, 29/01/04). The "Ministocks in Paridise" Ministock stampede at Rotorua's "Paradise Valley" Speedway is also coming up (on the 14/02/04). The Kihikihi Ministock Stampede has been brought forward this year; it's this coming sunday! (1/02/04). We still don't know if we'll go to that yet, if we can even get in. We went last year, where Nick did all the races. If you are reading any of this, you had better have filled in the form on the entry page. If we don't reveive enough feedback from that, this site is on the way out. It consumes too much of my time to bother with if no-one even sees it (as what's the point of a website if no-one goes to it?). All the links to the pics work remember, so now for the few people that sent me emails saying they wanted to see them, now they can. Check the flash banner too! Work of Nick.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 115 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     21/01/04</b></div> <div> THE LINKS WORK!! This is because I spent 1 1/4 hours (from midnight to 1:15) adding a spiel to the photos ("Photo by NICK ELLIOTT" etc). I then spent a painstakingly long time uploading them all to my secret "I shouldn't have it" other tripod account, then linked each individual thumbnail to their respective photo. My point; APPRECIATE MY WORK!!! IT TOOK AGES! In other news, Nick's NCEA results came out today. No futher comment on that. Also divided the updates into Recent Updates (latest 5), then Older Updates lower on the page.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 115 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     19/01/04</b></div> <div> Well well well. Nick got a 7-day stand-down; AND FOR WHAT!!! His offense was "Driving in a dangerous manner"; *********!!! WHAT A JOKE! But I'd best not say too much about that, or they might add some more days to it.... In other news, the car now has a bent strut and of the 5 struts we have, NONE FIT PROPERLY! The derby went well in terms of "shopping"; we got 8 wheels from 2 derby cars. Our uncle Steven Elliott lasted quite long; he was put out just before they blocked it off on the front straight.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 65 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     15/01/04</b></div> <div> The Elliott family returned home from a holiday at Whangamata today (pic thumbnails available).

Both of us spun on our last races, but Nick got hit by 13m head on. Nick kept racing for as long as he could with a flat tyre and the under-rider bar in the wheel, but since his steering was getting less and less, he had to pull to the infield. We're going on holiday for a few days as of tomorrow, so we don't have time to put some new photos on. The race log has been updated, but thats about all. The pic of the update is from earlier in the season, of Jade flooding Craigs motor.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 49 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     06/01/04</b></div> <div> Not much added except a new photo and a few thumbnails.

Nick, in the blue group, shamefully spun on turn 2. Seeking to recover, he put it into first gear to turn around when he sees some car flying straight at him. He whacks it into reverse but BAM! Too late. Thats our work for the week. Some of these blue group drivers need to learn how to drive. This update is really just because the last update had a spaz. We had to take the downloads off again. We'll find somewhere to host them soon, along with the photos. Almost everything else should still be the same as last update though.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 230 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     02/01/04</b></div> <div> This meeting, there were 2 ministock races from each group. We decided to put Nick into the blue group for a while, just to get some track time. Chris had an awesome second race and pulled in a second, to Ben Finemore! Seems that the news reporters got it wrong through; apparently it was Nick who was racing (stated in a newspaper). We got 2 races last meeting, however the 2nd race was a disaster for most people. Our car dropped its driveshaft on the front straight, and Sheree Morrow (24m) rolled. The event was the first of three USA sprint car meetings. Later on in the season, there's 4 consecutive USA saloon car meetings. What a nightmare. STILL NO PHOTO LINKS!! We'll explain why; we haven't found a suitable file hosting service. Without one, we can't put any links. Not our fault. Also, FINALLY, there are downloads in the Nicks Games page! At last! Feel free to download them; they are virus free. Nick made them, so he would know. There's also a mailing list setup now; Nick will add people to a group in his email account to send emails to whenever he updates. Feel free to join to it. No catches.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="522" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 115 WIDTH="510"><div> <B>     17/12/03</b></div> <div> Nick finally got some races in on saturday. Chris ended up smashing his finger and couldn't race anyway. Willy Kay said at the drivers briefing "...the Ministocks will get a guaranteed 2 races per group per meeting...". We'll see. There are a whole heap of thumbnail images on the images page, but they don't do anything. We haven't put the links on to bring the full sized images up yet. Came up with the "Pic of the Update" idea. The one this update is of Nick 3-wheeling around turn 4.

Added a few HTML objects to the site. Added a few pictures throughout the site, but didn't put any on the images page yet. Maybe at the next update? Fixed a few wording errors. Also fixed the cjb.net redirection; it had an error.
