We SENT it, we BENT it... now we have to MEND it.
And yes, I was actually wearing that Tee under my racesuit when I "ran out of talent"...

Right, who has an upper control arm for an early XcWorx... :-)

Katrina Gray Racing, Purple Helmet Racewear Girl Racer finished up the year with a good run at Silverstone!

Give her a like and a follow to see what she gets upto over the off season, in prep for '27!

All these "end of season" posts are getting a little bit depressing....

Get ready for some serious speed and sass from Tom Herbert & Cari Read, the dynamic duo of Label Motorsport , who wrapped up the VWDRC UK Championships over the last weekend of September.

Tom brought the heat in his Corrado in the Pro category, while Cari brought the cute in her rapid Sportsman class Lupo (and her Girl Racer hoodie, obvi). Meanwhile, Tom's 'Secret Sauce' stayed close at hand in his Purple Helmet water bottle at all times!

2026 is now at a close for the VW Drag Racing Championship. but lets keep it full send for '27!

Give these guys a like and a follow to keep up with their exploits on the drag strip!
