Hi,

Anglesey club does mixed races, I have done them before in the Imp and they are a good bunch.
Otherwise to race with fellow Imp's you would have to put standard arches on which is bottom of your to do list, cost and time Etc.

Sorry not a lot of help
Cheers

I spoke to the Hscc and Alan is still at Autosport show and it looks like that is a closed wheel race non championship race, however they did say it is still provisional and there is a chance it could change. No invite for the HRSR series cars, must be too fast for them http://classics.honestjohn.co...

Thanks Simon I have amended the date and now look forward to be at the WWW also.

Hi James, unfortunately Kermit won't be at national as I am racing at Croft, but he is running well I still need to pull out the OSR wing to get it finished off. Do you still have any bits as I am missing this part of the dash? http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag305/imp423208/DSCN2942_zpsmttknktz...

Hi,
I run the same tires and use 28psi for rears and 18psi for the fronts on a 6" rim and I have used the same pressures on 5.5 wide rims too.

Cheers

Had a great race with no trouble for a change apart from the fan belt shredding its self, but the battery kept it going luckily. Well done Steve I tried but just could not catch the group you were in. Simon you misfire sounds like a flat battery,I had the same fault at Oulton park some time ago, did...

Nearly all set for brands after an emergency engine change late last night finding the pin was coming out the dizzy and could not remove it to sort the problem! All done Fired up this morning before work and sounded good, just some wiring for the alternator then go then off to brands to see my fello...

Hurrah sailed through the MOT no problems and now in use everyday for work, just welded up the hole from the radio aerial and painted the front with a brand new fiberglass bonnet as the steel one was a pile of work to sort later on. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag305/imp423208/DSCN2879_zpsqtz...

What a great show and some fab pictures.
Well worth a visit and old Kermit did the 90 minute run there and back no problems and the Vulcan was awesome!

Adrian

Fab photo's guy's I was particularly interested to see I can read my rev counter in one of them, looking forward to Donnington hope there are more cars out.

Adrian

The action is all on Sunday only 3 Imps entered Simon, Steve and myself. i have not seen sick notes from the others!

Race 13 Historic Touring Cars

Practice 10.00 to 10.20

Race 16.40 to 17.00

Had to step things up to get it on the road for now as the MOT on the super runs out soon. The floor was only piffling minor surface rust. http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag305/imp423208/DSCN2718_zpsaomp8wa3.jpg sanded off rust killer coated and washed off then zinc primed. http://i1371.photobuc...

Second race start bang clonk clonk and abandon all hope of going further!

I slipped the gearbox out last night to find 4 teeth missing from the crownwheel, looks like a trip to see my gearbox guru Dave.
Just when I thought I could make a start on with the new racecar.

Adrian

Sounds like a great day out, hope to make it along!

Cheers

Adrian

Baah humbug clashes with Brands again!

Sob sob
Adrian

Cool the last one was fab and it does not clash with racing dates either!

Adrian

No wonder it is so sound and that explains the damage it has a new leg in the front which was well done and a rear wing, in the engine bay the leg is a bit sad and i have a new leg to fit at a later date just need to get it sorted and on the road I now have the front panel painted and all the floor ...

Managed to start getting some paint on before the damp weather and now have an engine posted in the back.

I ran a standard diff for 17 years it is not essential and I only had the planet gears break up once, but then at some circuits I would let it spin up to keep it on cam then floor it when the rest of the grip came in. mostly due to running an R23 and having to keep it above 6500rpm so the gears got ...

Hi, Thanks Colin Dash trim would be handy! I have welded the trim holes up, for now and if I can get all the trim at a later date it will be easy enough to drill and refit just did not fancy driving it all half trimmed for years waiting for some to turn up. The rusty Stilletto has inner and outer si...

In the Summer I bought this car to use as my everyday runner, Very solid only minor surface rust here and there, the car is missing everything why do I do it? There is definitely something wrong with me I need heeeeeeeeelp! its Imp No5 http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag305/imp423208/Kermit/DSCN1...

Just found this from Brands on board the Beetle, a few laps of Imp action from the start!

It was great to be back in the saddle with the car only just sorted for Oulton park, 2 wet races things could not be better! Well done Simon 2 wins, Steve ran well also. Shaun broke a doughnut and wiped a shocker out, also Stuart Kerr had a problem with water into a cylinder and my battery was dying...

Well done indeed great result!

Had a great day apart from the last bit sore today! Misfire cured managed to go 2 seconds faster than my best at Cadwell in first race, and had a great race with Steve and for once I managed to get the better of him. Race 2 forgot how to operate gearbox at the start on then fell off at then end uhum...

Use mine everyday to its not an ornament!

Hi,
I shall be in pottering round! maybe a bit faster I hope as I have just fitted some 32mm chokes in the hope of a dash more go but proof is in the pudding.

Adrian

Good news Andy the Frankenstien engine is behaving! I have finally finished a complete rebuild of mine with all the good bits on, going to try it up and down the service road at work tonight if I can get it all fitted in time. In theory it going to be better but no time to fit and run it in the road...

Looking forward to Brands, I have all the rear suspension back on and even a gearbox but still need to put the engine back in with one of Andy's secret weapon flywheels. Will have to wait and see if my suspension changes work or if I will be crabbing down the straight sideways! Not looking forward t...

Found this footage of race 1 very well done!

cheers
