Just got a little more info through anotherv site. "Hi Robert said that this car use to race at Liverpool speedway in the late 60's and early 70's the owner he brought it from came second in the NSW championships (not sure what year )and his name was Allan Bond, the car was built by Clive Polla...

Wondering if this might provide a nice cheap entry to DLR. Would this be eliagable to race with appropiate cage, lifting the wing to 12" and harness etc? If so would it be J/FL. The little nose cone has got me thinking m Edit: Bugger it pays to re-read the rule books time and time gain doesnt i...

The only reason I have steered away from 'glass is the fear of a fire. Am I being paranoid, considering I'd need 2 extinguishers systems anyway????

Under the TAC guidelines here in WA the chassis need to be made from an original or RHS (100x50x3mm) and its unlikley Id ever get a space frame rego'd and I want to be able to use the car more frequently then just at the drags and DLRA.

Cheers

Hi Guys Im hoping to go to the salt next year with a roadster powered by a 500 caddy motor rather the repowering my 32 coupe. Can you please have a look at the image below of a Duece Customs roadster body, especially the firewall. Would the way its set up (recessed) exclude it from being used on a s...

Hi guys have been lurking for a while but am starting to plan out my 08 trip to race. Couldnt come this year. I realise everyone will now be flat out preping so no rush to respond. Next year Im planning on being there in this car, although probably highboy. Im starting to do a few mods for the 1/4 a...
