Re: General questions

I've been following this thread with interest. First, I found out about hill climb suspension set ups after 25 yrs road racing.

I have a Simpson 5 point harness. Latch release with bolt-in lap and wrap around shoulder. 3 inch. Blue. Good till end of 2014 with NEHA. I'd love to see them find a home. I'll take $30.

Re: mini austin project

Hey, that looks like a fun project. A 4AGE 20V, right? That car should run in Prepared 4 (race prepared cars 1600c and under).

I run a '72 MG Midget with 4AGE 16V.
