Exactly so!Green Frogeye: unfortunately not . . . I saw your park and felt sorry: such a fine car, I love Froggies.
FYI: after 15 mins and so 3 or 4 laps I was too wet to continue and had to make my retreat . . . Requests are fine, but you'll be on a 20+ request list.

No worries I though it was a slim chance given the weather and our time on track...we were gutted, it had been 2 hard weeks to get the car ready after a start line accident at Cadwell, and with the wet weather we were really up for it, and a top 10 was a real possibility. even after probelms in qually where the engine sucked in loads of water..
It was the first time I'd driven the car and its very different to a tuscan but great handling and very well put together by dom at midland classic restorations who owns the car.
its kind of buggered my budget for the last TVR race too as i now have quaife Dog box to pay for

I hear the Minshaw car was actually Steel not Alloy (stiffer?)!
You don't want to know what I heard!Did it have one of these under the bonnet
BMW / Megatron 1.5 Turbo 1000 race / close to 1500 Qualy!
From the Stavelot Museum - well worth a cycle out to (did the old track on the way back - enlightening!!!!!!).
I heard one of their car packs 380bhp (the other two about 340). Spoke to one of them at Mallory testing earlier in the year - when they has a dark blue low drag there. Too much money...... partly why I decided fia was not for me.

Did you get your knee down through the Masta curve?You can see how the lap record was over 160mph back in 1970 - Jesus - Flat chat downhill for miles!
The RED line
Mindbogging in this!!
Just ditches, trees or endless downhill fields to await you!
