Racing general / Pre-Season Race 24/Oct/13« on: October 22, 2013, 04:13:37 PM »
Track test night before the season starts on Nov 7th (to Dec 06th). The season will be Minis for the "Mini Season" and 50% of the tracks will be default installation ones, that provide some fast interesting sessions. The other 3 track will be selected from the those supplied in the dropbox link in the "Tracks stuff" thread. (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gugcwamybiap9yn/omOfBN2G5M
This week's test will cover 3 sprints * 20 minutes on the 3 installed tracks. Next week's test will cover the other 3 possibles, this should give all time to download and install. Same times as last week for starting. See you there! 303

Cars & Bikes / So what is sitting in my garage?« on: October 02, 2013, 12:36:19 PM »
The newest baby is registered with only minor work needed doing to get it roadworthy.
As you would expect with an import car, headlights and then front end bushes and normal routine service repairs, coolant, hoses air cleaner and replace the missing aircleaner to carb seal. Removed the pretty glass, "burn your car to the ground fuel filter". Now enjoying couple of drives already. From some old pics, tracked down the original stickers put on the car in 1963 for "Mercury Sport" and HRA. Polish, polish, polish. It has some very lovely rubbed through patches, scratches and little "scars". All the paper work since it was purchased at $3074 as well. Successfully chased down some steel rear wheel spats (skirts), in the U.S.A. and saving some pennies for a sunvisor purchase, locally fortunately, as these were not offered in by Mercury. The observant will have noticed the resemblance to the "All new Ford Falcon of 1965 look" Yep, we were a little behind. These were originally designed and were to be marketed as the Edsel "pony car" to compliment the Ford pony car, the Falcon and take on the more luxurious pony cars to out do Chrysler's pony cars, the Valiant/Plymouth range and of course the GMH pony size cars. But with the demise of Edsel as a marque within Ford, the decided to sell it out of the Mercury dealers and with a badge change: ta da! Edsel --> Mercury. This one was purchased in CA by the owner's father with:
Being a commercial aircraft mechanic, it was nicely done, by obtaining a 1966 Mustang and fitting:
and when the mood took him, over the next 20 years, it was drivent to the next suburb, Fremont! Now you see why it is important where they lived! The orginal owner became too old to be, as his son describes his father, "A Race Enthusiast" and sold the car in 2010 to a hotrodder in Oregon and we purchased it from Oregon, to drive around CA; now home in Melbourne. Some pics from the states: And yes, I think that is one of the same man's 3 Talladega 428C (sorry to make you Mopar owners quake!) 3" Longer than "our" XP, note rear doors. 311
Cars & Bikes / Chevrolet Cameo pickup sells for $140,000 at Lambrecht Chevrolet auction« on: October 01, 2013, 10:10:09 AM »Well it had only covered 1.5 miles! And a massive collection sold in the U.S.A...Quote While plenty of the vehicles in the Lambrecht Chevrolet collection warranted attention for their low-mileage odometers and the decades’ worth of dust on their flanks, one in particular – a 1958 Chevrolet Cameo pickup with a staved-in roof, cracked windshield, and 1.3 miles – stood out as the poster child for the auction that dispersed the collection this past weekend. Fitting, then, that it would sell for the highest price of the weekend: $140,000, not including commission. And here is the rest... http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/09/29/day-1-results-lambrecht-chevrolet-company-collection-auction/?refer=news 312
Real Life Motorsport / Humpy Progress« on: September 30, 2013, 03:42:43 PM »
Although I have only had the humpy since 1972, it does at time need some work from time to time . This is one of those times.
Now that the exhaust is as it should be, I finally getting to do something about the paint. Started taking the offs-pray that I stuffed up with a couple of years ago... 2 Pak should be treated the same as spraying enamel, so I found out the hard way. I have rubbed back most of the body with 2000 wet and dry, and now need to concentrate on the strip, and prep up for a thin white strip one each edge of the centre, "go faster red stripe". 313

Racing general / Tazio Nuvolari’s last car up for sale...« on: September 28, 2013, 10:57:13 AM »Quote Tazio Nuvolari’s prewar racing exploits are the stuff of legend, and Ferdinand Porsche himself once remarked that the Italian was “the greatest driver of the past, the present and the future.” Following the conclusion of the Second World War, Nuvolari, then in his mid-50s, returned to compete in the occasional race, but he was no longer the dominant force he’d been in his youth. His final race, behind the wheel of a 1950 Cisitalia Abarth 204 A Spyder Sport, saw him finish first in class at the 1950 Palermo-Montepellegrino Hillclimb. Now, for the first time since 1978, Nuvolari’s last race car will be offered for sale at auction. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/09/26/tazio-nuvolaris-last-racer-a-1948-cisitalia-abarth-204-a-spyder-sport-heads-to-auction/ |
