Ha ha! Very subtle, smartypants*! :wink: :lol:
Leaf sprung v6? You might not win outright, but you'd probably be first in class!
cheers

*'Left!'
'Whose left?'
'Yours!'
Wolfie:
Oh yes, there's more, that I forgot.
Need to get the racer to events, so that'll be weekend hire of trailer, at least until I can get one of my own.
I suppose fuel for the events would also need considering. 3.9 V8 will give low single figures, lets assume 5mpg, each run is 5 miles, so a gallon a run. Somewhere in the region of 10 runs per day, so about 20 gallons a weekend...... er I think I'll stop thinking about this.
just off to see if ebay will allow an ad for a kidney.
Regards
Wolfie

On second thoughts, maybe Katy is a better plan

ok ill throw my 10p in
the 90 i was comping would use £60 of fuel for 1 comp (10 laps 2 miles upwards,longest being 5/6 miles)
entry was £20 per event,
helmet was £60 (make sure u get the correct spec,i know some1 who didnt & failed scrutineering at his first event & couldnt play)
in 2 years comping (8th overall in championship & 2nd novice) i broke 2 half chafts & wreked 1 wheel & tyre,last year i bent the chassis & ripped of the front shocks,that was the final event for the racer,
at each event i would carry 1 diff,2 sgort,2 long front shafts,2 cv joints,enough oil & gaskets to do the front twice,2 spare wheels,
fuel the racer on the way to the event & have 2 jerry cans as standby,
average MPG was between 1 & 8mpg

Start worrying when the codrivers voice and arm actions dont't correspond :oops: :oops: :?
BTDT a couple of times (the arms are normally correct)

Shouldn't you be out chasing caribou or somethin'? :wink:

Tyres ordered, BTW.
