Post subject: | Topcat at Snetterton 1994 |
Going through our old VHS tapes the other day we found a video of the Birkett Trophy at Snetterton in which Martin Savill was competing in Rare Performance Motor's Super Bee - Tim Boles (AKA "Topcat" on here, the Classic Camaro Club secretary, who funds & runs this place for us) was also competing as part of the HARA team, but he was having one of those days! This clip we posted on YouTube http://youtu.be/GFVwhozTftc shows Tim having what he called "a little excitement" in the pits. No-one was hurt fortunately but my brother found his visibility rather limited by fire extinguisher foam when he was hurriedly rushed out for his session on the track. |

Yes I remember having one of those days then! Certainly brings it all back! Butch's gearbox had given up - and John Harrison (guy in stetson) lent me his Cougar in the enduro They discovered dirt in the carb - blocking the jets and since it had no air cleaner it caught fire on the headers as car was still warm! I learnt a number of things that day: 1 never run without an air cleaner 2 there is a good reason for fireproof racekit! certainly brings back the memories- have imbedded! see: |

I should add that that Martin fixed up my Camaros to be the wonderwagons they remain today |
