Any more spec\'s?

[HI RPM RX3]

good stuff, im liking it!  what series does he race it in?

[Glenn Butcher]

Carl (on the Forum) built the engine for Dave.  It is a 12A Bridgeport I believe (Carl can confirm).

He runs it in this http://www.barc.net/ch02207.htm series.  Pretty sure he is still running this year.

Car is very quick up against V8\'s etc.

Daves car has a 12a with special porting that I have devised that follows no normal porting route,ie: it is a mixture of bridge and peripheral.
Power is 185hp at the wheels on a Nikki carb that must be run as Dave races in Post historic touring carsprior to 1974,and rules do not let him run a Weber.
In the races are such vehicles as Mustangs,Camaros,JagV12\'s,Capri\'s,Escorts,Dolomites and the like.

I can\'t remember but I will ask Dave to remind me.
Maybe Ray can remember?(Daves son)
There have been quite a few incidents over the years shall we say.
