13th November - With the weather that surrounded Auckland at Opening Meeting the track was always going to be a little bit of a lottery but the MSB Motorsport Team did a great job and got to grips very quickly with the surface.

In heat 1 we started off grid 8 and got a great start jumping all the way up to 3rd by the end of the first corner which was something we wanted to work on this season is the starts of races. Unfortunately we got pipped on the last lap and finished 4th. A great start to the meeting though. Heat 2 started off again grid 8 and tried a similar line which worked really well untill middle of the first corner I ended up with 2 slower cars infront of me slowing or progress, it was a constant battle right to the finish line. We finished in 7th in heat 2.

Feature Race we started out of grid 8 again and only 1 point out side the Top 6 (which this season comes with an inversion for the Top 6), it was a tough battle on a very slick track as we were bumped to last race of the night. The changes Crew Chief Jason Brown made were spot on and the car had real pace in it late in the Feature but with the track only being lane made it impossible to start. Great start to the season with a 9th place finish and still more we can do to the car also.

1st November - We have now completed the 2 preseason practices (one being affected by rain and the other just completed on Saturday) and are preparing the car for the Western Springs Season Opener on Saturday 3rd November.

With over 30 Auckland registered cars in the the TQ Class this season and only 22 being able to make the feature on any given night it will be difficult to qualify let alone get towards the front, but with the changes CSR Fabrications have done to the car and the testing we have done with some new equipment and Jason Brown back as the Head Crew Chief we are looking to pick up where we left off and aim for those podiums.

The main goals for this season for the MSB Motorsport team is to try and finish as high as possible every week, also aiming to get on to the Western Springs Feature podium again (as it was an amazing feeling last time) and finally qualify for the New Zealand Champs final which will be held at Western Springs in early February 2013.

2nd October - It has been a long couple of months getting the 7A TQ Midget ready for the new season. A lot of changes have taken place and a new look to the car will definitely make it stand out on the track. A huge thank you has to go to Jason Brown and all the great work that he has done in the off season with setup and making the car handle better. Defintiely the brains of the team.

We have had a preseason testing session with a lot of different ideas tried and just ironing all the bugs out of the car before first practice. It was a great day to try a lot of stuff and thanks to Jason, Greg and Sue Pickerill for all the help over the day and a lot of expertise.

Lastly a huge thank you has to go out to the loyal sponsors and supporters we have, they are all fantastic and racing this season couldn't be done without them. Thanks to CSR Fabrications, Pickerill Auto Electrical, Signright, Castrol NZ, MR Motorcycles and Lane Engineering

3rd August - With the 2011/2012 Season now completed it is time for a very extensive Off Season Rebuild. The car has had a hard and long season and has even included a couple of roll overs. It is going to be a busy couple of months with the intention to get the car back on track for a pre season test in late September.

Chris from CSR Fabrications is making a couple of trips back to Auckland to help with the repairs and changes to the car. This season is going to be a busy and important one with the biggest focus being on the New Zealand Championships at Western Springs in February.
