I'll pick the young fella on the right, #29 did not have enough antidive, #23 looks like it needs a couple of tabs on the spyder to stop the doors from lifting at high speed.
What sort of tyre temps are you getting on the front now?
#29, any idea what happened to it, is it still around ?
cheers

Ross does not need anti dive or straps.
Looking at his hand on hip posture I would say he has watched to many superman shows after school.
I bet he wishes he still had #26.

Yes thats me with hands on hips, you clever chaps. Boy the girls were chasing me in those days and I was after them too. #29 doesn't seem to be around anymore, it did run at Teretonga quite a bit and was affectionately called "The Bug" It was not a front running car in fact it was usually placed last in any race. Three of us were in on the ownership at that time Graeme Walker (currently air traffic controller in Invercargill), Kevin Murdoch (pictured in the photo, currently living near Queenstown) and myself. It felt fast driving it due to the open cockpit but also due to the Russ Noble seat, a piece of aluminium.As you tried to get going it was almost impossible to stop kangaroo hopping as your bottom slid backwards and forwards caused by the inability to be smooth on the accelerator.That photo would have been taken circa 1967. Never noticed before but I seem to be stuck in the 20's with my car numbers.I'll get tyre temps off pyrometer tomorrow Jac

I love going back through the photo albums that my ex-wife did not find and burn.. Very fond memories indeed (not of the ex of course)...
Ross - Not to jack the thread but - What windshield wiper arm and blade is that you are using? | |
