where were all these FC cars then

Racing in Future Classics, there was a round a Brands Hatch the weekend after the 6 hours. Bit of an ask to run a car for 6 hours and then get it to a state you are happy to start a event with, in less then a week for hobby racers.

Clan in bits 'n pieces.

Proud Sprint owner: glorious sounds!

This looked like a sure winner, until . . .

. . . this AJP8 powered Mk1 came in my sight.

Budget racing never was so much fun: 3K eBay Pork ready for a 6 Hrs run of fun. Fantastic and roll on 2012. Will campaign this stuff, even in NL to pull in a few teams.

Weekend!

More a fast road car than a racer IYAM: Brit muscle car.

Only 82 were built.

Nick Thompsons Chevron B6.

More four pot fun.

Dominic Spicer on them: 'Probably the most affordable and accessible way to enjoy the thrills of racing in a bygone era, the 9s is a phenomenally quick ( and forgiving ) true masterpiece of mechanical engineering. These 2 litre, group 6 cars, continue to bring smiles to anyone fortunate enough to drive them.

Gwyn Pollard says: Acquired in 2006, the Crosslé was my first racing car, and I couldn't have picked a better one - good looking, reliable, very fast. The benign handling allows even novices to explore the limits. I've had a few class wins and plenty of placings in the car, plus an overall win and a second at Spa - the highlights so far."

Brit muscle car??? Its fitted with yankee Ford V8 engine and gearbox!

Nice car though and pretty quick just too expensive new to ever be a success and Clarkson slated them at the time.

**Peter Mallett** · 23 May 2011, 07:42 (Ref:2884249)

Possibly why it's so slow then.

MartinSmith · 27 May 2011, 00:13 (Ref:2886485)

All

I want to tell you that we now have four entries in the 2012 race, now thats not bad considering we have not even spoke about it, advertised it or what have you

but the fourth entry....well now....that is.... a very very special entry indeed

The car is nothing fancy....and the driver may not be that famous, but let me just say that, without him....there would be no 360

Since getting his entry I have smiled to myself on several occassions.....I look forward to meeting him....and shaking his hand because we all owe him a debt.....he is ...a very special member of ten tenths

the next line will give him away....but I do hope that his GERM OF AN IDEA....lives up to his own expectations next year.

Thanks for entering Podd........see you in 2012 xxxxx

I would have kicked that old Capri's ass Pete! It was certainly no slouch.

Al Weyman · 27 May 2011, 09:28 (Ref:2886596)

Opps sorry Pete that sounded very presumptous of me I meant to say 'It' would have kicked that old Capris ass not that 'I' would!

**Peter Mallett** · 27 May 2011, 09:33 (Ref:2886598)

Understood.

Dinkel · 27 May 2011, 20:14 (Ref:2886871)

Sounded like a dream Peter, did you do something special to it?

Al Weyman · 27 May 2011, 20:26 (Ref:2886878)

Yeah I agree there, one of the best sounding Capris I thnk I have ever heard.

Dinkel · 28 May 2011, 10:45 (Ref:2887044)

And here it is:

Hi Mike!

It is obviously all induction noise, generated by the single choke downdraught going by the picture with the bonnet up.

**John Turner** · 29 May 2011, 08:24 (Ref:2887366)

That Capri has sounded absolutely superb for the last couple of seasons, since I think, Peter had the engine rebuilt and a decent exhaust system. But, yeah that's definitely Peter with the cap on!

Dinkel · 30 May 2011, 18:47 (Ref:2888329)

Amazing sounding Ti BTW.

19 piece grid.

**Peter Mallett** · 31 May 2011, 07:42 (Ref:2888524)

We had some headers built a couple of years ago and since then the engine has adopted a unique signature. Sounds even better at Spa with the back box removed.

**Tim Falce** · 31 May 2011, 08:13 (Ref:2888534)

Peter did you sort your brakes out, didn't get to see you later Saturday after your race.

**Peter Mallett** · 31 May 2011, 08:17 (Ref:2888536)

Yup the brakes are sorted ta.

**Tim Falce** · 31 May 2011, 08:50 (Ref:2888572)

What was the solution?

**Peter Mallett** · 31 May 2011, 08:53 (Ref:2888576)

New discs andd run a heat cycle before using them in anger.
