This Saturday will see the running of the Tempest Rally. Its on Gravel and will see 2 rallies in one. In the morning the 4wd cars head off in one direction and the 2wd in the other so that each group if you like gets a chance at the stages that have not been mullered by the other cars. There is a strong 75 car field
I am running the warren stage Nr Yately and both groups of cars get to go through our stage twice during the day. Anyhoo I just recieved the final entry list for the day and ceck out car 133

By doing a biy of a google I see that the car was imported from NZ to do the Historic championship. It wont be a pukka GPB one as we all know where that one is. I dont think Bernies car( For sale on various web sites) is a pukka one
due to the firewall/bulkhead mods, but I could be wrong.
Jacob Scamell it seems has been competeing for some time manly in Escorts and has done the Silver Fern Rally in NZ
I will know more on Saturday
Jacob is a really nice guy Brian,
Say hi from me when you meet him.
His car is pretty tasty too!
Regards

Ye heaps thanks, makes it easier to understand. I had an idea the latter two were manufacturers that was why I couldn\'t work out the first 3.Thanks.Cliff

Yes please.
Hi Brain, it would be nice to see some photos of the car.
Dibs
I will see what I can do as marshalls are not supossed to have cameras but and as I am the Stage commander(very important role,I stand there and do nothing while everyone else does) I should lead by example. But since when have I ever followed the rules?
Arise Sir Brain ........... good luck, dont forget your ear defenders.........
Dibs
Ps my ears are still ringing after Brooklands.

You say the Marshalls cannot have cameras - well technically you\'re not a marshall but the top dog ... sooooo ?

You want to try driving the thing as it spits all that noise out beside you and then backfires under deceleration just for you to put the pdeal down again.
I hope I dont get to itchy feet this weekend or I might have to get another tin top to replace the westy....if anyone would buy it

Maybe Dibs but boy what an experience - I mean, even I\'d have to shave a couple of feet from the midriff to fit in. :cool
I am 16 stone and fits like a glove
@kiwimazda Could u not sleep this morning mate such a early post, I see the Mazda is running in the big cc class i thought that had been done away with according to lindop motor sport that is ? gary
Ok. Big day today and we were a bit short of marshalls today so I had to do some work. I got no pics of the car but I can tell you it is a 79 and is really well put together. Its got some good stuff in it which I would expect after talking to Jacob at length about the who,s and whats of where some of the bits came from. It sounded absolutly fantastic as he left the start line.
As for the 2 ltr class
They used to run in the 1400cc class but that has now been changed from what I understand and they now run in the up to 2000cc class. My one always ran in that class for sprints. You can take a 2000cc car and enter the class above if you so wish. This is good for several reasons some of which are there could be less cars in that class and it will then give you a greater chance of taking home some silverware, you can run bigger wheels and tyres. If I had a RX7 rally car I would do the same.
Any idea what way the rx7 engine was ported?
12a Bridge for historics class
