The Cheek C288
The Cheek C288 was a proper group C car – built by Doc, in Tistedal, Norway! Here’s a short clip of it’s first life. Some plans are being cooked around the idea of bringing the little monster back for Historic Group C.
Forza Imp at CSM…almost
Things didn’t go to plan this year, but nevertheless we had a highly entertaining Classic & Sportscar Meeting.The last week before CSM started of in a rather troublesome way. With the ratios sorted on George’s gearbox, everything installed and ready to run, we had a terrible whining sound eminating from the bowels of the box....
Mixed fortunes at Rudskogen
The Bevan replica Imp had a successful shakedown/debut, not so lucky with Pumpkin.Saturday morning started off bright and early. We’d already set up camp on friday evening, and done scrutineering without problems. We soon got George the Bevan replica out for a few installation laps. A few things emerged; the box we’d chosen didn’t have...
First Impressions
Season over, and another KARN Track Day. This time I got to take the Imp for a few laps. And I’m still smiling! This test has been long overdue, but anyway, I finally got to take “Pumpkin” for a spin. It’s been running well for two seasons now, except for a few minor issues. With...
..and the Rudskogen nightmare
Well, results-wise it was excellent, but this saturday was marred by a very poorly organized event. To put things into perspective; someone came up with the grand scheme of running an entire race weekend on a saturday – for the National Cup races. With even more classes than usual. The motif was supposedly that people...
The CSM Adventure
From devastation, to heartbreak, to glory. The NSK Classic & Sportscar Meeting had it all in store for me & my mini… I loaded the Mini on the trailer on Thrursday evening, and we stuck the Imp in the Commer, and off we went. After 4 hours of driving we sat up camp at the...
Veni, vidi, vici at Velodromloppet
With the Mini, everything went to plan and beyond, the Imp needed some Midnight oil, but eventually paid us back. I managed to grab pole position for race 1: this time all 1000-1300 period E&F cars were run in a separate heat, which comprised some fast GT machinery as well as a big gang of...
We’re Racing!
A perfect start to my season; no major problems with the car, and two exciting races. And some creative use of race-tape! Vegar and Edwin volunteered as roadies for this one. We gathered up everything, and after the normal long haul to Våler, we arrived in good time for scrutineering. Normally, I’ve breezed through this –...
A Classy Sportscar Meeting
What a fantastic event! I didn’t think I could have this much fun with my pants on – really. After having spent two days at a conference center (work..) with the mini sitting outside on the trailer, I was jumping to get going. I arrived at the track Friday afternoon, and unloaded. The event already...
