Also John Searby racing on a shoe string complete with the old mig welded A series rocker mod ![/QUOTE]
If anybody`s interested, John Searby did about 2/3 of a season in 1987, having never raced before, in a 1430cc class C A40. Realising that 5 bearing 1500 cc Anglias were too much opposition, he then switched to class D for 1988 with a 998cc Miglia spec engine and won the Championship, so the arc (not mig) welded rockers seem to work! He then ran a 1000cc short stroker for 1989 and retired in 1990 as everything was getting too expensive.
It`s nice to see there are still one or two A40s still out there trying to beat the Imps.
