Urgent Calling all Barkston Entrants.

[nigel1]

The Servicetune car is driven by 3 drivers: Adam Levinson (age 25, number 20), Andy Bunney (age 43, number 21) and Nigel Levinson (age 56, the older one, number 24) from Cherry Burton, near Beverley, East Yorkshire. They not only compete against all the other competitors but really try to beat each other! Last year Adam was 7th overall, Andy was 9th overall and Nigel was 16th overall; prior to this first season of sprinting none have any recent motorsport experience, although Nigel used to do Banger racing in his youth (that explains a lot about his driving!) and Andy used to do some rallying.

The car is a 1991 red Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 which was purchased with a blown turbo and massive oil leak a couple of years ago to use as a track car. Since then it has been stripped out, battery relocated then bucket seats, full harness seat belts and roll cage added. AP brakes were fitted to the front and the suspension was replaced with Tein coilovers. The car had a complete makeover recently with a newly re-built and run-in forged engine, lightened flywheel, 4 paddle clutch, FMIC with a CS bonnet and bumper and an ST205 gearbox. Last year the car was running around 220 BHP and, although the car is still being set-up, the eventual aim is to achieve 280 to 300 BHP.

The car was retired at Rockingham after a couple of runs due to teething problems; hopefully these will all be sorted in time for Barkston.

Guys & Gals.... if your details are not on this thread could you please add them and if they are can you take a look and update them please.

Now you're probably wondering why Reason being I have been given TSS sections on both Lexus & Toyota Owners Clubs and want to do a driver profile section as well as all the rest of the info so people know & understand that we (well most of us anyway) are normal peeps

Thanks for you time

Oooh crap best write something, errrrr........... i'm not very interesting.....

Dan Quinn, now a 30 year old ToSSer through and through. Have competed in every event of the TSS thus far. Zero track experience before joining the TSS, complete novice.

First car was my ST182 celica still on road tyres but tweaked suspension, engine pretty much stock- managed 4th in class 2008 and 2009 (i think) peak being a 2nd in class at barston (see what I did there?) reverse 2009, my only trophy using my celica.

Late 2009 at round 5 woodbridge, my celica was getting tired at 154000 miles and developed an overheating problem, so my new (to me) 1.0 daily drive yaris was brought to round six, nearly completely standard, for round six, where I had great fun but came dead last

In 2010 the Yaris has been my daily work car and sprint car, and has served me well thus far I would like to change class again at some point but due to financial constraints I hope to enter 1.0 class F again for 2011, and see how the car holds out. As long as the TSS is running I will take part, even on my limited budget it is manageable and above all great fun with fellow enthusiasts who many of now are personal friends

Cheers Dan
