Here are some of my pictures.

I was looking for some of you chaps to meet but there wasn't anybody around. Perhaps next time.

Anyone know what the Speedwell Sprite is running? That car Kick's a**.

Aw crap! My dad and I was there with the Speedwell Sprite/orange FC/blue GTV all day long. It would have been nice to meet you and talk to you about your cool restoration project. Next time, I guess.

The Sprite belongs to bb member racer-efrain's dad, maybe he can fill you in more on it. All I know is that I couldn't believe it (1275cc) was keeping up with the 2 liter Giulietta on the banking.

I am responsible for the orange FC and that is my dad's Sprite. Its a 1275, .040 over, and was dynoed at 92 hp with a fat torque curve. Weighs around 1200lbs., stock suspension (no relocated pickup points or extra links on the live rear axle); full rollcage, tube shocks, front discs/rear drums, dogring 4 speed gearbox, fiberglass tilt forward front bodywork. Dad's been racing that car for 11 years, he's gotten pretty good at making it go around. He and that black Giulietta have had some really good battles lately.
