Numplumz.com is a race team, we are not a club as such. In that respect we don't have membership fees or any other officialdom or rules. Jack started it all off and does the website. He is not the boss, just the one with the biggest mouth most of the time........ All we ask of team members is that they know each other,Team is the word. Oh yes, and once your a Plumz always a Plumz. You can get mega fit and reach for the stars with other teams, but you'll always be one of us at plumz towers. Contact numplumz if you fancy joining our Gang, you don't have to be fast, just fit (OK not even fit)
