P15 Convertible Race Car Ready For The Beach

[Robin (UK)]

My car's ready and I'll be setting off in the morning, for Pendine Sands.

The beach racing will be on Saturday.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Looks very sharp. How come you removed your skirts, seems like an aero disadvantage. I am heading to Watkins Glen tomorrow for a day at Vintage Revival weekend.  I have signed up for the Concourso Speciale'. This grouping is for under appreciated, unique,mongrel, orphan, and cars that do not fit in the "other categories"  Kinda like the non sporting group at a dog show.  We will be participating in a 2 lap circulation of the 6.8 mile original road and street course that was used before the track was constructed in the mid 50's.  The circuits will be behind a pace car but should be a fun time any way.  There is an appreciable elevation change over the 6 mi + course.  I am not concerned for the uphill portions, but for the down hill coming back into town.  I will be removing all my traveling kit, tools, spares, cooler, jack, spare tire.  Hopefully I can rig my camera on a small tripod to get some video. 

 

Heres to our P15's tearing up the joints....................  God Speed Friend!

Good luck to you both. Chet...

Thanks guys.

God's speed to you, too, Greg.

The Vintage Revival event sounds like great fun.

You are right to remove all your travelling kit... advice to us has been different because we're being timed over a flying quarter mile - so weight is good, as long as it's between the axles.

I'll post some pictures when I get home.
