12/06/2002 CREW VACANCY FILLED, EUROPEAN PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY American Car Imports Racing are pleased to announce that we have found a new crew member in the shape of car mechanic Mike Nicholls from Hook Norton in Oxfordshire. Mike will work alongside our current bottom end man, Fred Wilbanks, for the remainder of the season before taking over the role when Fred returns to the USA at the end of the season. Drag racing is nothing new to Mike as he has been around the sport for many years and has also campaigned his own slingshot in the UK's Wild Bunch Category. After spending a couple of weekends trying out with the team no-one was in any doubt that he was the man for the job. "I'm delighted to welcome Mike to the team" said Crew Chief Andy. "Good crew are like gold dust and good bottom end men are like, well, platinum dust I suppose." After a damage free weekend at the opening round of this year's FIA championship we have been able to concentrate on routine servicing and building up the war chest for the upcoming races. A third engine will be ready soon and more spares are on their way from the USA. When the truck leaves the country for Finland, it will not return until after the FIA rounds in Sweden and Norway so it needs to be stacked to the rafters with spares, consumables, and of course beer.
