Looks like good fun to me!

Good fun until you get hurt. I had to sell my stockcar after a series of large crashes including 2 broken ribbs(AT DIFFERENT RACE MEETINGS) and a spinal injury, which finaly finished off my racing days. Still great to watch the bangers though. :B_steerin ________ MONTANA MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY

Are those Legend based cars?

Post 69063 by wacky racer on 2006-01-02 17:09:01

Hi mate. No, they are based on a 5/8 scale Ford popular, with 850cc Reliant engine with a modified 2 speed gearbox. Made in the u.k (Tamworth). Full contact allowed. Race only on small ovals. (1/4 mile) Where as the Legends are 5/8 scale based on 1920's and 30's US cars with 1200cc motorbike engines. Non contact(most of the time). Imported from US. Race on small,large ovals and some circuits. PIC 1 REBEL RACER. PIC 2 LEGEND. ________ Honda cb550 history

Gotchya. Can see the difference now. Hadn't seen one of these Rebels before, but I've been at the same meeting as the Legends a few times. Thought it was related.

Is that your car that you race on your avatar, what is it, a nova? Have you raced in anything else? I also used to race karts. Do you know of anyone else on here that does any racing? :rally_dri ________ Silhouette

> Is that your car that you race on your avatar, what is it, a nova? Yup. That's the fun machine. It's a 1.6GSi in Road Saloon spec, so it get's driven to (and usually from) races. Named "Pongo" inevitably. :) > Have you raced in anything else? Had a couple of Astras and borrowed a Fiesta once. Got started in Road Saloons back in '97 and got hooked big time. Never had the dosh for anything more serious, but I get so much fun out of what I've got that not owning a supertourer doesn't bother me! In the LMA Eurosaloons now after the Road Saloon series got incorporated into it. Original photo the avatar came from attached. > I also used to race karts. That's heroic! Been at Cadwell and Oulton with some of the kart guys and they are completely hatstand. Seen two of them diving into a corner side by side with the guy on the outside holding one of his fingers up infront of the other guys helmet. Had about 50 spectators rolling about in hysterics. > Do you know of anyone else on here that does any racing? There's a record holding motorbike engined beastie lives down at VT. Think it's Hamish who races it. Hamish?

Post 69124 by JUDGENINJA on 2006-01-02 20:14:28

There's Hamish from VT. I think he races under HLM racing or something.. Teamsideways - He races an Austin Maestro... And we did have an 850 Rally car but I can't remember who it was...
