| Car History |
| The car was imported from Japan January 2007. It's a 1996 Mustang GT which, when I picked it up from JRH Imports, had only done 40,000 miles. Since I've had it I have stripped the interior out leaving only the headlining and the dashboard. Webster Race Engineering built and installed a roll bar, seats, 4/10 ratio back axle, BBK Headers with Flowmaster exhaust and a new Induction kit with new throttle body. We now have a nitrous kit installed which has knocked a seconjd of the previous personal best. We are now in the proceeds of fitting a controller for the nitrous kit which will help get the car into the 13's |

Marcin
He is my crew chief. He's the one that tells me to stop panicking when we've been called to race. He's also the one who sees me into the wet box and checks my dial-in time against the time on the gantry.
Graham
He is the chap that is always there when something technical goes wrong or we come up with a bright idea as to how to make the car faster or run better. He also helped me ripped the car apart and rebuild the interior with a new ally centre dash and door panels, not to mention rewire all the electronics to the centre dash.
Matthew, Amy and Ellie
They are my children. They will be helping me out through out the year. |
| About Nigel Holland |
| I am 47 yeas of age and live in Wellingborough. I am married to Lisa and have three great kids. I have a condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease. I think it sounds worse than it really is. Basically it's wastage of the muscles in the lower part of the limbs due to the Peroneal nerves not working. Not that it stops me doing anything. My philosophy is simple. You never know you can do something until you try it! I have never driven at a 120mph on the track yet..... I'm going to try that one day! |

| Other Hobbies |
| My photography is a good escape from the day to day stuff. But lately I have been spending a lot of time building websites in order to fund the racing. The site that I have had most fun building lately is this one. |
| Future Plans |
| Depending on finance and the condition of my disability I want to go faster! As my friend Vic Amato says, "Fast is fun.... you can never have too much fun!" |
