jeff oakley Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 From what I have read they are a very capable car, Jeffc is spot on with the tractor as it is the same for me. They seem good value. Quote
Buzz Billsberry Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 To be honest Barry we had a guy racing in the factory car in the 750 RGB championship but it wasn't that competitive and I know thats a very subjective area but its an insite into the cars competative capabilities or lack of you might remember this footage on how not to unload a crashed Vortex and yes thats my Genesis (no 46) at the start!

scott beeland Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I'd love to go racing; but it's that degree of damage/ repair cost that has always put me off. Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Good job the roof of the lorry was there to catch it a double bad day Quote
Barry Ashcroft Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 I'd love to go racing; but it's that degree of damage/ repair cost that has always put me off. It's the cost of the MNR parts that interest me if I go racing Quote
scott beeland Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I was thinking more the cost of chassis/ big stuff looking at that video clip (and thinking back to the old PKM videos of the stryker racing mayhem) Quote
moochofun Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I race with a guy called Paul Lawrence - he is on here as Paublo999 I think - previous megablade owner. He was runner up in this years Scottish Sprint Championship. He won the class in the Hillclimb Championship and was the overall winner in the Lowland Championship... He runs a standard (so he tells me) ZX1400 engine in his. With full cage, he says his car is about 480kg. Its a pretty handy tool. Its green as well! A link to his site: linky Quote
ricgard smith Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Hello Mr. Ashcroftand all. Still looking at going racing I see. MNR looks good but not sure if its ready for competitive racing yet still needs another year of motorsport development. Parts are cheap enough though. Catch up with you soon. Richard Smith Quote
Buzz Billsberry Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I didn't fit in it. I never thought I'd see the day a car was tooo small for jacko!! Mind you you didn't have any issue fitting in the spitfire or the spark plug at Donington! Halcyon days mate! Buzz Quote
scott beeland Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Mind you you didn't have any issue fitting in the spitfire or the spark plug at Donington! Halcyon days mate! Now that was a night of WSCC legend....Almost ranks alongside the "Caterham" incident and the "fire complaint" letter Chairman Stanton received many moons ago from the JBA owners club Quote

markcoopers Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I had forgotten the spitfire and our "chaging of the time" adventure. Mind you i found a photo of us with pictures of ice creams stuck to our heads i can not explain either. They were the days. We should have another big blow out in 2010, a real crazy one..... Quote
