New Look for 2010/11

Posted: 1/09/2010

Hi everyone

Well the season is getting closer and closer, and I’m getting pretty pumped up thinking about it on another wintry day as the cold wind blows around us. We’re making pretty good progress here in the shed, with quite a few of the new cars delivered to their new owners, and a heap of refurbishment work also taking place.

My two cars are ahead of schedule, with the new 10p Brent Boddy Cars Superstock back from Harts Body Shop, and the 1nz Sound Autos Tank over there at the moment. We’re about to start work on the bodies, which will be looking smart this season thanks to the efforts of the entrants in the design competition. A total of three entries were received, which means I have space and time to thank all three of the entrants for their efforts. As mentioned last time, all will be rewarded for their contribution.

James Hadley, Sam Gray and Andrew Stewart all seem to have plenty of talent, and in all honesty the cars would have looked better than last year no matter which of the designs we had used. It really is quite amazing to think that there are people out there who would spend their spare time to help me out. I think you’ll agree the winning design is pretty special, and I think we’ll probably end up using it on all sorts of things - anyone wanna pay for a repaint for the Rees Race Truck, haha? So yes, the winner was Andrew Stewart from AWS Graphics.com, who is a bit of a pro at these kind of things and has produced some great work.

In addition to the cars themselves, part of the plan for this season is to get merchandise underway, and following the last update there have been a heap of people asking when they’ll be able to get their hands on a T-Shirt. So here’s the answer.

The annual Rees Race Cars open day will take place on Saturday 2 October, and that will double as the official launch of the merchandise, so we’re aiming to have plenty of stock on hand for the big day. It’s quite daunting actually - I’m used to making stockcars, but clothing is a new thing altogether. Seems a little strange focussing on these kind of things when I’ve spent the last 12 years trying to make my cars go faster and handle better.

More details on the Open Day will follow, but mark the date in your calendar as it should be a boomer of an event.
