I was hunting through some old pictures and I suddenly came across this car after it had been 'transformed' in an accident at Shakespeare County Raceway. I can remember taking the picture and I have a vague recollection of "something" happening that day, but I simply cannot remember any more details at all. The date on the back of the picture says 1999 but that's no clue as I was notorious for developing films late. Can anyone help?

Tog informs me it is 1999 and it was the August Bank Hol meet at Shakey.

Five years later in 2004 (Tog confirmed this too) Steve Dunn (unfortunately) rolled too. Spencer plans to give 2009 a miss. wink

Still racing in the hands of Aidan, but Chris races his own Anglia.

Look! It even bent the intake manifold!








biggrin I've got one of those old Edelbrock big block torker intakes. You almost can't give them away over here. Bought mine off of a midwestern U.S. round track racer (who was glad to sell it to someone far away) that's drilled and tapped for hidden nitrous.

Is that conrad stanleys old pop?

99 rings a bell as the time he sold it before the new owner trashed it shortly after.

No Aiden Kenny's, as discussed above.

Conrad sold his pop to Rich Gilbertson who put it on it's side about 200ft out at Shakey when the throttle stop came out i think.

It was rebuilt and sold onto another Bristol racer i think.
