Rockingham qualifying went ok, Norfolk n Chance managed 8th out of 31 with team trackspeed just ahead by 0.400 seconds in 7th and Exploding Fist in pole position. Unfortantly for Exploding Fist 6 laps in a water hose burst and they had to retire. Dave started for Norfolk n Chance and got another epic start going from 8th to 4th by the second corner but dropped to 5th by the end of the first lap. After a short battle with the VX220 we were in 5th with Paul from Team Trackspeed biting at our ankles then 13 mins in the excitement really started! Dave out braked himself into turn two letting Paul up the inside but hitting the side of us in the process, coming into turn 3 Dave had the line but then Paul got better drive up the hill into turn four but ran wide, Dave kept on the power and as Paul came back over he tapped Paul’s back end then Paul braked and Dave tapped him again and again sending Paul into a spin hitting us on the way round and giving Dave the place back with a nice dent in the side of the car (remember rubbing is racing) . Dave then kept his position until the changeover to Aaron and we didn’t cock up the pit stop this time. Aaron had a couple of great battles with the VX220 and Adam of Team Trackspeed but he managed to bring it home and we finished 3rd overall and 1st in class our best ever finish!!! We want to thank all our friends and family’s who came,our sister teams for being good sports and our sponsors for without them we wouldn’t be racing!!!

Aarons Autos Celebrating 10 Years
This year Aarons Autos celebrates its 10th year of business.
Opening its doors in 2004 with only Aaron, one ramp and a handful of loyal customers Aarons Autos was born.
Aaron’s back ground was in the Fleet Maintenance sector of the motor trade so this was the basis of which he was going to setup Aarons Autos.
The business has gradually grown by specialising in ‘Fleet Vehicle Maintenance‘ providing a valuable service to all kinds of companies in Derby and throughout the Midlands helping them keep their vehicles maintained.
In early 2010 Aaron decided to run a Motorsport section within Aarons Autos called Trackspeeduk, this would include Track Day Car and Race Car building, preparation, maintenance and support.
In 2012 Aarons Autos were asked to build and support a Race Car which would be entered into the MSVR Team Trophy Race Series, which went on to win several trophies throughout 2012 including a 1st place at Donington Park.
In 2013 Aaron and his workshop manager David Slater decided to build their own Race Car and enter into the same Race Series to see if they had what it takes to drive the cars as well as they could build them (all of which could not have been achieved without the generosity of their sponsors), they finished the season with one 2nd place and three 3rd places.
So onto 2014 Aarons Autos hope to offer their services to more Fleet customers giving them the same quality service they have been giving to their existing customers for the last ten years.
Also in 2014 Aarons Autos have three Race Cars (including their own) entered into the MSVR Team Trophy which will need preparation and maintenance throughout the year.
