Greg- it is terrible that you have spend so much time and trouble having to combat these low-lifes-thank you for maintaining the site so well Best Regards, Denis

Hi Rob-I have just finished the exercise. SCTA only require 15/8 tubing, and there other minor differences. The big one is SCTA3.A.3- forward, side, and rear helmet support, ie HANS or similar. Another is arm/leg restraints detail .Thanks for the offer of help, I will compare prices/freight, and ord...

I want SALTVETTE'S cage to be CAMS compliant. I have spoken to a Co. in Vic. which has in stock "1020 CDW Tube 350MPA Cams Compliant Dia. 44.45mm (13/4") Wall .120")" I have their OK to put their name on our site- should I do this, or just let anyone interested send me a PM? I ha...

Lynchy- i have just reread my post. It is (unintentionally )misleadingl! I don't where the car is based; I was trying to convey that the show is on at 8.00pm on ABC TV, IN SE Qld. But it will be a bit of a hoot if it is based here- we might not only outshine the Mexicans in footy, but with IT + TREV...

G'day all- Just been watching CATALYST. Showed an advt. for next weeks show "car designed to go faster than the speed of sound" Here in sunny SE Qld, it is on Thursday next at 8.00PM

Thanks for the advice- on third thoughts, I'll pack some more stubbies, and a copious supply of brown paper bags!

G'day SE QLD- NTH NSW. My mate who was going to come with now can't make it. I plan to leave Kingaroy on Thurs., to arrive Sat. Travelling in Cruiser with camper trailer, via Dalby, Moonie, G'windi etc. & have a spare seat. You will need a swag or mattress, as you are not bunking down with me un...

The last couple of posts are ringing terrifying true to me. I am an old fart (ie, 60plus) therefore I forget things- so I have notebook in my shirt pocket to write stuff down. I have a fovourite type of retractible biro which my wife is forever "borrowing". In the interests of make love, n...

Thanks mate- am used to towing K'roy to Melb., so K'roy to B'ne is a bit of a doddle. Have no probs with the cage- it will be the existing Cams cage beefed up, and be 8 point instead of the 6 point. I will really appreciate input re helmet strap and seat mounts, and with all that fibreglass, I'm sur...

Bob- I am the bearer of sad tidings. It seems those Mexicans (on their annual winter pilgrimage North) have snapped up all of the said tea towels. I know this news will be a bitter disappointment to you, and can only suggest that you seek professional help to tide you over this difficult time. Alter...

Mate- if you are very good, will try to bring a tea towel with the pumpkin scone recipe; I would have Sir Joh autograph it, but its a bit late for that. If you are very, very good will bring some good ole boy peanuts with me.

Bob- if it's not stretching our yet to be formed friendship, I'll bring the car. (Have you seen a naked corvette before?)

PS What's your favourite poison? JB or JD?

Yep Chris it does- hipbone connected to the thigh bone, and all that. Hope to see you on the 21st

RULEBOOK 4.1.3 Helmet support (neck brace) to be used where existing roll bar structure does not provide restriction to lateral head movement of less than 4" 4.2 Helmet restraining strap within the roll cage is required. It must be... welded inside the roll cage. PROBLEM I want to build the SAL...

Maybe my ignorance of the salt and excitement at the prospect of running is getting in the way again- perhaps a more sensible approach is to build the car for 200+ but to treat the first year as a shakedown for car and driver, and aim to run at 175- with anything over that, a bonus.
