Tobe and Al are building a grass kart. This is the first step on Tobe's journey to get into motor racing. You've got to have a dream and you have to believe it will come true and he wants to race cars and this is where he will start. (gee I guess it's in the blood!)
They are building it up from a frame they purchased and adding all the extras that I can't remember without Toby here to tell me! But I do know that he wants it painted blue when all the trick bits are finished and it is time to go to the painters.
He went out last week and bought himself a helmet, the goggles and gloves will be next when he has earnt a bit more money. He already has race overalls from his last birthday so all he needs now is the kart.
They race once a month on a circuit in a paddock north of Christchurch. Sometimes they race in a feature event at the local speedway on a Saturday night too, so it will be all go once Al is finished his weekend job with the NZ V8's.
As for Tom, he isn't keen on motor sport, his sport is heavy metal and bass guitar at the moment - that is what makes him happy and now that he has his hair dyed dark he is happy as a sand boy!
