Greg, As both my brother and I worked for Frank in the race period..him with the A50-53, I just sent this email..I am busting to see the A50 in the flesh again..Derek and Peter would be proud it has survived! (Hughesy was a character..took the back tarp off the race truck to the local laundroMat to wash it..ending up bedding the bird running it in the backroom while he waited!!)

"Find the XU1...19 in class...Mick Turner is in the Janson A9X in Invited..up against some wanker P.Brock in another A9X.(Michael will smoke him!!)..Find the Matich SR4 and the A50!! Vern Hamilton and John The Goose are running too.

Having to race against Brock is like having to fight against Mike Tyson! :cry: He has a couple of advantages - Ability, familiarity, experience and it's probably not his car!

Oh well, at least the car will get to see how it should be driven - If I can get within 4 seconds of his worst time I'd be amazed!

haha geez Rory, sounds like Brock's rubbed you the wrong way at some point..... was there a particular incident?

I've never met the guy, so I cant comment on his personality, but u gotta at least respect the results....

There is history....probably better I left it . Ask me over a beer one day. In my humble opinion..Bond was a better, more versatile driver.

Yeah that would be cool, I'm always keen to listen to anyone that has first hand experience of the scene from those days... damn if only I had been born 10 years earlier....haha

Trying to get someone to weld some brackets in the front corners for the chassis kit..no one wants to know,...and I am offering $$$!!..It will happen...Havent heard from Michael (Janson A9X)..probably doing all those last minute things I am up to...A1 is staying with us on Friday night..hope he brings his ear plugs...Should have the truck for transport by then if SHE has her way..save towing the trailer..Brakeshoe at Yokohama is arranging two new A032Rs for me for spares just in case..After this I will swap all the race tyres over to the 6 13 x 7 hotwires and paint the centres black to blend in..should look OK. Looking good and getting closer!! :spoton:

No worries, instead of ear plugs, how about i just bring a carton of beer, should do the trick.

Really looking forward to it!
