Historic Car Racing Thread

Well done John. Short wheelbase L's in green (any green) are an excellent choice!

You kept that one very quiet, where did you find it?

[Fishcop]

There's a small story surrounding the car (much like any of these cars)... I'll start another thread

[John S]

Well done John!
lots of fun coming your way...

John,

You need to start a thread here. The racers crowd is on here. Between RC, AB and Alex no other opinions are worth having

[Fishcop]

I thought this was the thread

IMHO you should get this one rough and ready not concourse stuff.
Get cage in logbook with stock engine and go racing. See if you like mixing it up with the boys before you do more stuff to it.

Funny, Thats exactly what I said to John. Get the S engine running as is (assuming good compression etc), slot it in with the 901 box, spend some $$$ on good suspension bushes and shocks, cage is and drive it like you stole it for a couple of years until your ready to upgrade it.

I am fortunate in having been with John when he purchased the cars and the 68L is a great race car base, and is going to make a very pretty race car.

Tim,

great minds think alike.

With fishie's skill he can get it going by PI 2014.

+1 - learn to drive it as quickly as you can, and then upgrade it. Otherwise it will be 2-3 years before you race it and your wife will talk you out of racing by then!!!

Paint it too !!
