Yes that is Rockingham, i was lucky enough that my sister knew the people that ran the track and they allowed me out on track for the photo shoot.
They insisted that i only went 40mph maximum due to no safety crew- of course i kept to the limit :lol: :!:

Great track - it would be nice to drive the car in anger up there some day.
Is that a T56 six speed fitted to your car ? as i could do with some info about the swap as i am gathering up parts at the moment for mine.

Thanks Si :mrgreen:

Hi Si,

I was at Billing on saturday for a few hours, seemed a bit quite and some I was gonna meet didn't make it in the end so left about 3pm.

The Camaro looked great, you were parked a couple of rows behind me, I kept popping back every little while to see if I could catch you..

Thanks for the comment Stu.
Sorry i missed you.
Probably in the beer tent trying to keep warm :roll: (Lovely summer weather)
Just booked tickets to the NSRA super nationals at Biggleswade if you are going let me know in advance and we can arrange to meet up.

Hope you enjoyed Billing
Si :mrgreen:

hehe, that sounds cool, and the whole track to yourself as well, I would have stuck to 140mph :P

T56 not in yet, car is still being built (been a long time, much to my annoyance). Good places to look for stuff are here:

http://www.t56kit.com/

http://www.hurst-drivelines.com/?gclid= ... 2Aodnylu4w

http://www.keislerauto.com/

hope that helps :) I'm looking to get a complete conversion kit from hurst-drivelines (used to be classicchevy5speed).

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Simon, still got the old girl eh? (i sold you a torque converter about 6 or 7 years ago)
I remember you :D
Yes managed to rip all the welds out of the centre of that converter.
Must get a smaller right foot!
Just gathering parts for a T56 conversion at the moment so hopefully won't have that problem any more.
What are you driving now?

Cheers Si
Hi Simon, now running a tube framed '68 camaro.....(still matt black with yellow and green flames though !)

Thanks for the links..
I have visited most of these now :thumbup:
I was kind of hoping somebody had actually done this swap as it's only when you get in to the jobs you get the unexpected problems..
I have emailed classic 5 speed on several occasions and have had no response so i had got a bit fed up with them.
Do they not want our money $$$ vs ££££ :thumbdown:

Is yours the earlier box with the external hydralics as i am looking for a part for mine (have a look in the wanted section) and might need to get some measurements for a machine shop...

Thanks
Si :mrgreen:
