Steve

 

I think that a stripped out Busa car will be competetive as I ran mine in H for a few events and it was on the pace despite being fully road legal and weighing 490kgs! I even beat Tommo in the Flymo at Cadwell Park!

I ran crossply slicks (9.2" rears) and the 3.14 sierra diff gave reasonable top speed

Nicks supercharged Busa also went every well in H

 

When I look back at that Busa it was only the engine that was well developed, there was so much I could have done with the rest of the car. So if Steve gets the handling, brakes and weight sorted, he will have a very competitive car.

While not expecting to do well I am really hoping to have a car in the paddock at Castle Combe come the spring. Worst case I can pretty much enter it as it stands (once Steve has finished with it anyway!) although I think I need some sort of second spring on the carbs.

Sorry wuv, but you need an extra 100 bhp just to move the excess

Now that is a novel idea, an eight valve low cost speed series class    

 

 

Where the really quick drivers can downgrade, to a more cost effective form of motorsport 

 

 

Sadly it will never happen    as the eight valve champion might win the series  :laugh:

MLC - I was only joking on giving everyone a cross flow… half the fun is trying to beat a zetec/duratec/xe :-) 

 

I'm still trying but enjoying it all the same :-)
