  4. Thanks Colin, yes I thought it might give a bit of extra incentive for the whites and yellows and that booking list sure seems to indicate that was the right way to go. Si used to appreciate the chances to race for a bit of extra prize money. Still early days, as a few more drivers may book in, but that booking list reminds me of meetings in the 70's where the number of drivers of each grade was reflective of the split of registered drivers - admittedly, that was helped by clashing meetings in those days!

Comes with big block mounts, exhaust manifolds, seat, tank, rad, etc. Transit front and LD back axles. I have an unraced 496 cu inch big block that was built in US and I had Peter Knight rebuild it. Forged ,crank, rods etc we were going to use it in the Andy Smith chassis so maybe do a deal with the chassis.

  10. To be clear, the requirement for new cars from 1st April is that they shall have 70x70x4 min main rails so until the rules are changed, theres nothing to challenge. Based on using the same material, the circular equivalent to 70x70x4box to give the same resistance to bending and to have the same strength in compression(end on) is 88.9dia x 4 70x70x4 weight= 8.15kg/m, cross sectional area =10.40cm2, Section Modulus (resistance to bending) = 21.3cm3 88.9diax4 weight= 8.38kg/m, cross sectional area =10.67cm2, Section Modulus (resistance to bending) = 21.67cm3 So your claim that circular hollow section pound for pound is far more resistant to bending than square hollow section is total nonsense and I would be eternally grateful if you could prove otherwise. It is true that using stronger materials will help but what I can say is that utilising a "space frame" type construction can be stronger if designed correctly. I fully understand that when completed, Rob's design could have been stronger than the minimum requirements of the new rule but that is what has to be questioned at the next AGM so we can again have the option of building stronger space frame cars.
  11. I still have some of the DVD's I made from Ian's Video (originally film). If anyone wants a copy they are 5pounds + 1 pound P&P with the 5 pounds going to the Veterans Association Send cheque with return address to Alan Brooke 234 Hyde End Road Spencers Wood Reading Berkshire RG7 1DH
  12. Now come on Rob surely you have another new car left in you?? It would really be a shame if thats the last we see of you out on track....surely not?????
  13. Last few DVD's available with all £5 going to the Veterans Association
  14. Cheers Rob One thing I did'nt mension is that when the main film finishes, there is a pause before another short film showing Harold Gibson 162 who took over the car from Ian. Harold is the brother of Bob who took the film and raced in 1966 and won a race at Belle Vue.
