I promised some serious surprises a couple of months ago, and I think we can easily say we can start of the real presentations today, we have a couple of brand new exclusive BBT productions got in last week and are all set to supply IMMEDIATELY from our stocks.

We received a bunch of our brand new T25/T3 Vanagon sheetmetal, quality with no substitute, and perfect fit! We do not go for anything less when producing sheet metal!

Our new production sheetmetal is also primered with a very high technology of “Weld Through” primer, so no silly smokes or heavy grinding anymore. the big profit is maximal protection, also between the welds!

Many more is in the pipeline, compare our prices, we sell top quality while on the market you can buy at same price some totally not fitting rubbish from our competition. we started to produce sheetmetal due to a lack of serious sheetmetal on the market! many more to come….

Today; Wheel arches front and rear!

a lot of luck with the cool westy Jerome! congratulations with your purchase and loads of travelfun, that’s what they’re made for anyway!

Larry’s Quest for the Runoffs update

BBT friends of da House Larry Mc Kenzie runs Formula Vee champion ship in USA, times to times we give You an update, to let you know about the subject, but especially to show Larry we’re all one big family of supporters behind him!  Go for a WIN! Larry! we’re behind You! All of us….

or in Larry’s own words…I did very well and finished 8th! 

There were three days of qualifying, the first day I just didn’t have my mind in the right place and was still trying different things and was 23rd. Day two I had electrical problems and only got in three laps. I improved my times but was 28th. Day three the track was greasy but I was determined to get a good time. Every time I was on a great lap someone would spin in front of me or crash. I got one ok lap and qualified 25th for the race.
On race day I was feeling confident and knew I needed to be cautiously aggressive. I wanted to move up but not be in any crashes get knocked off the track. I passed 6 cars in the first four corners, then the leaders tangled in turn 5. I made it through just fine. As I exited turn six at 90mph up the hill to the corkscrew, right in front of me was a car was upside down in the air. I had to slow and take evasive action, two cars got by me. There was a full course yellow with a pace car for four laps. When the green flag came out again it took me several laps to retake the cars that got by me. I worked my way up the field to about 12th and had a great battle with two other cars. There were a few more crashes and spins but I stayed clean. On the last lap I made my move in turn 5 to get around the other two cars, I got one and was bumping the other through turn 6 and up the hill to the corkscrew. I tried a pass on the exit of the corkscrew but could not pull it off. I got a good run off the last turn was next to him at the finish. I was 11th by nine hundredths of a second. I did not know I was fighting for tenth or I would have been more forceful in my attempt to pass.

 The top three finishers were torn down and were found to have illegal engines. So I moved up to 8th. Not bad for my first year of racing a Formula Vee. I finished 8th in the National Championship Runoffs. After having a bunch of crappy races all season I really was starting to doubt myself. This race I really was able to put down some good lap times and make some great passes and avoid other peoples wrecks. I didn’t spin or go off track once. I am very pleased with my result. Thank you all for your support. I’ll try and post up some pictures soon.
