List of Rolling Roads
With Peter Baldwin's rolling road closing it's doors for the last time and the number of similar places dwindling I think it'd be a good idea if we compile a list of rolling road guys who know how to set up a Mini! Feel free to add!
Rob at Mini Sport, Lancs https://www.minisport.com/rolling-road-tuning
Peter Morgan at Wrexham, used to race a Mini very successfully in HSCC so knows the ropes. : http://www.balmuirgarage.co.uk/rollingroad.htm
Rick Wood in Stockport, Cheshire. Not used him yet though a racer pal of mine has for years : http://www.ricwood.com/rollingroad.html
Southam MMC ,Warwickshire. They know their onions. Nuff said! http://www.rollingroadregister.com/dyno ... tro-centre

Re: List of Rolling Roads
I've used John Nutt in Goytre, just outside Pontypool.
He can shave an SU Needle as well.
My first post in this Forum. Feel qualified as I've just bought a '66 Super Deluxe with hydro.

Re: List of Rolling Roads
+1 for Richard at Motorscope for Webers and Rob at Minisport for SUs
Rob is partly retired I believe so only works part time.

Re: List of Rolling Roads
Used Andy at Classicandrace in Smallfield,a few weeks ago to set up my Cooper. Very easy going guy, very helpful & happy to let you watch. He did laugh at a few school boy errors on my part but found 76 HP at the flywheel so I was very happy as I put the engine together. Also, not expensive, so highly recommended.

Re: List of Rolling Roads
Sadly Andy at Classic & Race is packing up in about 2 months, such a shame as he is so good at what he does.

Re: List of Rolling Roads
Not from me unfortunately. I took my 997, explained the departures from standard (12G295 head and raised CR) and he set it up as standard. I took it up the lane and it drove like a pig. I had to take it back and get him to reverse what he had done. Not impressed.carbon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2017 6:33 pm Ricky Gauld Motorsport near Huntly: http://www.rickygauld.co.uk/
