Reminder to Self: AFR sample lines get very hot and melt cables  I thought the same when I was looking at the way it all crams in the engine bay so I bought a roll of exhaust wrap tape - haven't tried it yet, it only arrived today and I've been let down by (new) Avonbar on the last parts I needed so I can't finish assembling it yet to test it anyway The worst bit was breaking down opposite the local ford dealer with a big sign saying "Trade in you old car and get £2000 of the price of a new one" - Very tempting !!!!

What' are the rules with regards to windows (or lack of them)? I know they have to be wound up when running, but if you don't have any can you still run? Im only talking front side windows, not sure I'll have enough time to make some! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Im only talking front side windows, not sure I'll have enough time to make some!  The guildines say: "Windows must be closed when racing." Doesn't say that the car must have a full set of windows. But it also says: "Shakespeare County Raceway reserves the right to define additional rules governing the running of the event and will advise all registered entrants accordingly. Track managements decision is final in any situation or dispute. " Make of that what you will. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I reckon you would need to take a skid lid if you have no side windows. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Anyone who doesnt wear a helmet on the strip, what ever the car, is taking a risk, whether the rules say so or not. Just look what happened to Turbo Shed at MITP On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

IF you have a convertible then you have to have your arms strapped down. This may apply for no windows too
