yes I saw that website but it seems to dismiss all Genies in one sentence! What I am interested to know is whether Mk 8's were competitive to BT8s etc..

The best year for the Mk 8 seems to have been 63 when in ran eithe a chevy or olds engine, they came first & second in a USRRC race at Pacific Raceway one with pedro rodreguiz driving, by 65 the Mk10 seems to have taken over.
