A jolly good weekend, busy as buggery though! Bradley Ellis was the driver, boy done good even after buzzing the engine on Saturday... Didn't get to meet you Rich, was that you chatting to Nick about the postage for the Raffle engine?

Yes...a lucky chap!

It is an additional expense but had they been mandatory in circuit racing back in 2001 my brother Steve Bell might have survived his Mini Miglia crash.

"The MSA recently announced that as of 2015, it will be requiring drivers of all single-seaters built after January 1st, 2000 to use an FHR System. This will be expanded to include all forms of circuit racing from 2016 (although exceptions will be made for certain historic vehicles). Stage Rallying, Hill Climb and Sprint competitors – with certain exceptions in each – will also need to use FHR’s from 2016 onward."

It can only be a good thing, Christian Deveraux's death was attributed to not wearing one.

it was a heavy hit as well, it ripped the tie bar out of the bottom arm and bent all the wing etc.


I bet it will need a front frame in it
