Would so love to see this thing in the flesh one day.  Any plans on a Collingrove event on the horizon?

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Yeah for sure, it’s getting to the point in it’s development cycle I’d be happy to travel with it!

I let him know when all the Collingrove events are Gary.  But most of em seem to clash with an event at his local track.  :(

Well when he does make it sounds like a few of us will have to head out for a look.  Do you know if there are any come and try type days you can a car without a cage?

Yeah all the comeNtry’s can be run without a Cage Gary!

Tonner has had it’s first shakedown run out to the recycle centre to dump some scrap and waste oil, driving like a bought one, no longer trying to crack the windscreen on the 1>2 shift at light throttle!

Thanks for that info Ian,  going to have to put that on the list too then, would be a lot of fun I think

The glide wouldn’t appreciate it much. Once your in top your stay in top.

I think you’d have a ball Gary!

I’m looking forward to breaking out the Semi Slicks again and running some tarmac events..

I would pretty much just do it in top gear.  First to get it up the hill, then just leave it in top.  It would just be for fun anyway

[Edelbrock1Participant AdelaideAllPaw CV8 View build HERE Member since: April 28, 2015 Posts: 22]

Depending on your gearing, but you could probably do it all in 1st.  Pretty sure I dont get into 3rd in the CV8.  So depending on your gearing, could be possible to never shift it into top.  :)

The gears in mine are straight cut too, so it would take it.  Not sure what speed it would pull in 1st, would sound pretty good screaming up there at 7,000 rpm. 

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

It’s a sub 40 second lap, more than likely do it in 1st no probs as it’ll be traction limited off corners so speeds won’t be so high..

I remember watckng Stan Keen in a formula 5000 set the lap record back in the day. From memory 31.2s.

Edelbrock’s Monaro I built does it in 37 on road tyres
