Open Sport Nationals - Shakespeare County Raceway

Had a lovely, lovely weekend breathing Hoosier smoke and methanol. Here's some pics that might be of interest....

 

No crazy engine mods, just a decent exhaust but consistency is the name of the game in bracket racing....

 

'Leccy Bug which runs 11s. I used to tool around in that car when it used to have an engine, and was green.

 

Supercharged RV8, sounds evil

 

Insert Essex joke here.

 

Bernie Newbury's famous car, actually running straight for once now he's put wheelie bars on

 

Chav!

 

The acceptable face of ratlook.... 11 second ratlook.

 

Flat four yes, VW-based no.

 

Outlaw Anglia were immaculately turned out as always

 

Word.

 

More on the way!

This one's the support vehicle thread...

 

 

Superior... yes it is!

 

Oh yes.

 

 

Still a gazillion quid's worth.

 

That's better!!

 

Can I have a "T" and "F" too please?

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I believe you....

Whenever I see a Jap panel van I always think CARPET FITTER.

The fact that the Land Rover has hybrid written on the front (and series doors) tells me its more of a cobble together (chassis from a crusty RR with LR bodywork rather than a genuine Defender with an illegal identity.

 

Its still a registration fail under the points system...

It was on coils, if that matters.....

That W Brave is totally OMG cool.

Superior has never been more fitting for a vehicle name

I'm just looking at a caravan feature in a 1975 issue of Autocar, That Dodge based Superior, depending on the size though it looks like the 2500, would have cost £12366 when new!

 

That's a hell of a lot of money when you compare that Scooters Sherpa would have cost £2049 and a the most expensive Ford which was a Mk 1 Granada 3.0 Ghia Coupe would have only been £4258.

Have you ever noticed the prices of modern large American motorhomes?
