Bit of an update then on winter progress... The 250 motor has been stripped down and we found all sorts of little issues that showed just what a hard season that little motor took dragging me round in circle's... The poorly crank that came out of that motor has since been rebuilt, but will be going back into a TZ bottom end that we are assembling, instead of the conventional wet clutch RD lump. We have sourced 350 cylinders that are currently up with Mick Abbey having the mojo added to them, all in anticipation to be competing in the 500 Air-cooled class next season. Hopefully the package we are putting together has enough about it to compete with the quick 4 strokes that are top of the class. If not, I'll have more fun than them racing a 2 stroke and mixing it up with the diesels.
The TZ bottom end is coming together slowly, got the clutch being worked at the moment by Gordon Jones who has been helping / advising with bits for us, aiming to have the engine back together in time for christmas so that we can get pipes sorted Jan/Feb next year.
Other work items on the Maxton include new fairing/seat to go on after the hiccup at the last round of the season with 2017 livery, fairing brackets to re-machine, spare levers and pegs to sort out, new chain and sprockets to go on and I think thats it. It'l look brand new again by March's trip to Snetterton (or thats the plan).
Speaking of which - 2017 season dates have been released so keen followers of SCC-Racing should get the dates below into your diaries;

It's a pretty exciting line up for next season, although an early start in March which I'm not keen on to be honest. But not all bad as I'll unfortunately be missing Pembrey in April as I have holiday booked that weekend. From then on its a full racing calendar for me including Aberdare Park in July and possibly a sneaky appearance at the Endurance event in 2017 - more details on that to follow later.
In terms of rides, I'll be onboard the Maxton as mentioned in the 500AC class and I'll also be back out in the 350 Twins again on a more competitive bike thats being put together pre-season so really looking forward to that.
In the meantime, I'll be posting more photo's and details over the winter while aiming to turn the photo of boxed bits below into a potential race winnning 350 2-Stroke for the 2017 season.

I'm also currently looking for sponsors for 2017 season, so if you are interested or know anyone who might looking to sponsor, please get in contact via the contact page or through Facebook to discuss.
