Sarah Tomlin

Driver of the #18 National Ministox.

Lyrics

Out in the heartland where the engines roar, there's a thrill that's worth always fighting for.

On the dirt tracks, under the sun's gold rays, National Ministox racing sets hearts ablaze.

With wheels spinning fast and the field at your back, we're racing for glory on the dusty track.

In the land of race transporters and rigger boots, we're living our dreams in our Ministox suits.

From the youngest racer to the seasoned pro, we all share the same love for the show.

With mud on our tires and grit in our eyes, we chase that victory under big blue skies.

With wheels spinning fast and the field at your back, we're racing for glory on the dusty track.

In the land of race transporters and rigger boots, we're living our dreams in our Ministox suits.

It's more than just racing, it's a way of life, with the smell of race fuel and the thrill of the drive.

We'll push our limits and reach for the stars, In the world of Ministox, we'll leave our scars.

With wheels spinning fast and the field at your back, we're racing for glory on the dusty track.

It's more than just racing, it's a way of life, with the smell of race fuel and the thrill of the drive.

31st March 2026

How time flies when you're having fun. I can't believe it's 5 months since my last update!

However, plenty's been going on behind the scenes.

So:

The car's been fully refurbed, with all new bumpers and nerfs thanks to Dad and the steel from SMP.

The extinguishers have been serviced, or replaced due to dates, thanks to Blaby Electrical & Blaby Alarms.

The stickers have been replaced where required due to accident damage thanks to Dimension.

And then I've been busy continuing my learning. So for my 15th birthday I had a MIG welding course, and I have a further TIG welding course booked for later in the year just before I return to Retropower for my proper school work experience, before hopefully returning during the summer holidays. However, they also launched a members club, which my parents kindly signed me up for for Christmas, so that's me set for life :-)

I had the launch of my 2026 car there last weekend (pics in the gallery). My thought process was it's for members to show off their cars, and since we'd gone in my Dad's new ride last time I wanted to take mine this time. It's safe to say it surprised a few people when I drove up onto their driveway in my Ministox, but all taken in good spirits and it was great to talk cars with all the like minded people again.

I also made it as the thumbnail on their Instagram post, with the car making a cameo on both the Instagram post and their weekly YouTube vlog. See links below:

Anyway, soon be back to racing, and although the Ministox have already had two outings we're running a limited schedule this year for various reasons.

My first outing will be at Kings Lynn on 11th April, which should be interesting as one of the rules for 2026 is we all have to run the tarmac Yokohama A539s on shale and tarmac this year as the Hakka's have been voted out. Hopefully the track will be up to the usual high spec and we'll make a good start to the year again.
