We met upstairs at the Freddy curling club on Rookwood Ave. in Freddy at Namaste Restaurant. We had a large private area with plenty of room. This was appreciated by all after packing in like sardines last month. The extra room encouraged table hopping and visits. Sandi & Larry are to be thanked for the excellent choice of dinner venues.
The next meeting will be at Namaste Restaurant in the Capital Winter Club 232 Rookwood Ave. on February 19 at 5:30. They are going to put us behind the curtain so we’ll have some privacy.
The Jag forum is having a field day with this. The brakes are no where near up to the job of stopping this thing, although it'll never get to any appreciable speed since the XK engine will shred those skimpy wire wheels as soon as anyone steps on the gas.
Here's that FABAC brochure I made some time ago and did nothing with it. Have a look (maybe print it out) and make comments for the next meeting. I'm also making some business cards. I've got a pack of cards (Avery)and downloaded their template.
Thanks!As an update to John’s link to the TR6 drag racing, here’s some photos from the British v8 meeting in Indianapolis in 2010. The car is owned by Dale Knapke. We were at O’Rielly Raceway in Indianapolis when Dale lost traction on the straight after running over spilled coolant and hitting the concrete wall. He had some minor injuries but was able to come to dinner that evening with some bandages and a neck brace. He has since rebuilt the car, lengthening the frame and hood to meet NHRA rules for the car’s class and upgrading the drivetrain. The car will run under 10 seconds in the ¼ mile with the Ford 2.3 liter turbocharged motor.
