Que pasa 2010?

By: Birger Knutsen - 10.11.2009
Well, plans are always grand. Next year, we plan to have even better parties, and the main scheme is to field 2994cc of screaming race engine(s). After my test of Doc's Imp, I was smitten. I just had to drive some more Imp! So the plan is to get the Bevan Replica Imp out next season with me behind the wheel. I'm not sure what happens to the Mini yet, but I plan to hoist the powerplant asap and send the gearbox and engine off for a much deserved rebuild. My history with this Mini is affectionate, so it's a keeper!

Doc will run Pumpkin with some upgrades for next year while building the Alfa GTA and the C-type replica. Pumpkin's motor is already off to Reg Patten for a tune-up after running faultlessly for over two seasons.

The plan is to utterly dominate the 1300cc class - so Vegar is planning to run Sverre's Imp. Anyone envision an Imp 1-2-3? :D

The Mini will be out at the races where the classes are split, time to prepare permitting, especially for Velodromloppet and the Classic & Sportscar Meeting. We are also talking about going continental for a race, but for the moment this has only been discussed by the way of intoxicated babble..

More updates on all the cars etc in due time!
