Stockcars..

[Olderisbetter]

For van bangers and caravans there is hednesford ,buxton, skegvegas , kingslynn there are others but theses are the main ones.
The rover v8s are used in V8 hotstox because you have to in the rules, My small block Chevy in my F1 stockcar was 850hp plus.

When my mate bought his first house it was by hednesford, He was from down south and knew nothing of the race way or that it was very close to his house and he called the police saying that some lads were racing around in cars...Which was true...

I've only been to a stockcar race once. That was in early 70's at Belle Vue and the cars were all cut down 1930's / 40's American models with V8's. Good fun.

Wow that’s a red letter day.
I never got any 1sts when I did it.
Bleeding red tops were always out in front after 3 laps

Engine out for a bit of tlc.

[Woody.v8]

Bet it takes about 15minutes to get that engine out,

about an hour steady, prop off gearbox out,rad out etc or about 15 mins as you said when you are racing and due out in 30mins.

 

[Woody.v8]

I hope my engine bits come soon, I've got a Flintstones car just now !

[Woody.v8]

March the 9th for us and im only starting building the chassis tonight, I must be puddled, nothing like a deadline to get your **** in gear!

 

[stuvy]

What and where are you racing woody?

I haven’t followed F1 for years but I still get excited when I hear fleetwood mac on tv

It’s odd as I used to hear it three times a day on 6music and never thought about F1 just the krypton factor and how I always wanted to do the obstacle course and flight simulator
