He should be a Shoe - in for 'Sportsman of the Year'. That is a mighty feat.

The Healy Corvette at the time owned by Sid Candy. Firstly ouside the Candy home with Ed's TR and Wally Bakers TF. Second photo at a Flying 1/4 at Ashburton.
I heard a long time ago that the car was...

Same meeting. The Stanton Special. probably the only meeting it was run in this form before some of the components became the rear engined Sports Car.

I think 1960. Wigram for sure. The TecMec (?) J Mansell.

Very sad news. I'll miss his smiling face at Teretonga.
Kevin was always generous with his excellent photos.

RIP

Look I am not saying this is true, but it might well be where the story that J.C. could walk on water came from.
Some times a few facts get lost in the telling - especially as we get older.
From...

The day Michael is alluding to was the Monday after the British GP held at Aintree in 1962.
Jimmy had won the race for Lotus, and Bruce came in 3rd.
I was at the event owing to a misfortunate event...

To put things on a happier note here are a couple of shots of 'The Man' at the annual Amon cricket match. Fun times, great guy, good friend.

Crunch seems pretty definate about the Honda motor not being on the horizon.
It is not a 5 minute fit into an existing car to have one as an example, but I guess a brave fellow could import an...

What's going on here? Hands up all the South Island drivers that have 'crossed the Ditch' to race in the North Island.

Russ, I have been informed a lot by the discussions on this site, and think it has been positive.
Surely now Formula Ford can be led from the bottom up with SIFF setting the rules as to only 2 way...

For a discount Nipple Pink it is.
Is there locked in dates for next seasons SIFF - we might as well start pushing it from today on.

If I may ‘waffle on’ a bit here, Motor racing at a club (non sponsored level) has changed a lot from where I started in the late 50’s.
I have records of receiving 5 quid for finishing 3rd in a hill...

Glad we are down here in the Mainland Russ, they seem determined to shoot themselves in the foot up there. What a shame.

rf84 is saying that there are lots of F/Fords out there but few being built. I have seen a book (of poor construction with the pages falling out) listing the makers of Formula Fords in the earlier...

I agree with Russ on that one. The difference between open wheel cars and 'Tin Tops' is chalk and cheese.
Having just done a couple of seasons in 'Clubmans' I can attest that there is a whole lot...

And Brendon drove well, you must be pleased.

Thanks Roger. Good info, and gives a clearer picture of what one would be up for.

Roger, would you (or anybody) have access to a site or a person who could tell us what would be involved in the 'Honda Swap' - just so we could have on the table what costs/work would be required....

Roger I have raced 3 separate Formula Fords over the last few years (all borrowed) and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I used to be one of those people who thought they were boring and a joke to watch...

I'm in.

My two Bobs worth - because I am fond of motor racing, and we have to be looking after the entry level. I write this not as a solution, but hopefully to add to the debate
It was mentioned early in...

I cannot add a lot to the gas fluxer info other than agree to what has been posted. I was lucky enough to pick up this commercially made unit second hand in Christchurch several years ago. It has a...

Always a smile, often a laugh. R.I.P. Stan.

Paul was most complementary, saying that it felt like a nice new car, with everything like brakes and steering working well.
The big problem that we had over the weekend was that the hybrid dry sump...
