OT: mystery engine

Perhaps racers at Laguna should be allowed to ''Race'' wearing a safety fez

How many these "races" have 8-V's won? I never noticed

The fastest 8-V Fiat cars I ever watched had Chevys stuck in them

 

Japanese Nope.

It is non-USA though, and did get raced quite succesfully in production cars.

 

OK, I made a mess of the last one but I'll post a pic anyway...

And we still have Nominal's 6 inline.
( Its not a Holden, like Simon Sez?)

 

A Jag V12 ?

 

Yep.

That was quick...

 

Holden red block?

 

Bluto, just because a type of racing isn't "fast" doesn't mean it's not racing and it's not enjoyable or compeitive. One of the fastest growing race series is Spec Miata. Those cars have a hard time doing 120mph, but because the rule set creates an even playing field, the compe***ion is very close. That close compe***ion is what racing is all about.

 

Score!

Yup, expired just outside Bulls of all places. Good thing it didn't happen the day before when we were driving the dirt roads around Whangamomona

(some great NZ place names there)
