Staying On Track: For Lovers Of Motorsports And Accessories

Hello. For someone who doesn't like to go fast, I picked a great husband. He's an amateur speedway driver! We have three racing cars, so he's always in the shed repairing motors and rebuilding chassis. Somehow, I am in charge of sourcing the various parts and accessories that he needs. I've gained quite a network of suppliers and other drivers often ask me to help when they can't find a particularly difficult part. Some of them race against my husband, so I feel like I'm helping the opposition! To be honest, I really get a kick out of finding the right parts and accessories. I'm always online making notes about motorsports for future reference. This blog is dedicated to those of us who toil away at the less glamorous part of motorsport - finding the parts to keep those race cars on track.
