Hey, I resemble that remark!! 😊😊

Engine builder found a set.

Thanks, I’ll contact Tony. I know Craig was looking for a set for himself a year or two ago, but will give him a shout also. Things change, right? Steve

Looking for a set of roller rockers for the rebuild of the CrossFlow in my Mallock. Standard or high lift are fine. I know these are available in the UK (Burtons and others), but trying to avoid shipping and tariff costs. Thanks. Steve

My experience with TFL at Spa was outstanding. And the track is amazing. It was a total financial splurge for my 70th, as I didn’t share the Seven. But with the open track time (no groups), it would become much less painful if the Seven was shared among 2 or 3 drivers. And you would still get plenty of track time. I’m ready to go back! Steve

Thought the passing of Chris Rea should be noted here on USA7s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auberge_(album) https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/obituaries/chris-rea-the-racing-fanatic-who-recreated-ferraris-legendary-sharknose/

Just saw this thread. I posted about my trailer in the “other” trailer thread, but happy to provide same (or more) info here. I’ve had a clamshell Montrose trailer for about 10 years now. I originally purchased it for my Seven, but it’s also used for my Mallock. It’s aluminum, and I think weighs around 1,400 lbs. I originally towed it with a Volvo XC60, which had an official capacity of 3,000 lbs. It had a tow package, but not wired for a brake controller. I opted for the Tekonsha wireless brake controller, which has worked well. The trailer is extremely stable, unbothered by cross-winds. Other than acceleration and braking, not really aware it’s back there. I now tow it with a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the tow package, still using the Tekonsha controller. Jeep has a 5,000 lbs tow capacity. Steve

Yup, that’s mine.😊

First time in about 4 years this doesn’t conflict with a race weekend. Penciled in! Steve

Yes, I do. Coming up on 10 years, I think, that I’ve owned it. Built by Montrose Trailers in Michigan. Weighs around 1800 lbs. Originally towed with a Volvo XC60, and now by a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Originally purchased for my Seven, but the Mallock fits just as well. Steve

Craig - old listing, and it’s an entire engine, but just came across this:

I have the Schroth 6 point for me, and ASM for the passenger. Consider it the best of both worlds, as passengers (not that I have that many) can be mystified by a 6 point. At on point (sometime in the 90’s) Caterham had two tabs behind the seat that could be used for the sub straps. My 1998 does not have them, so ended up doubling the sub and lap belts. And I also just sit on the sub straps.

Mas du Clos looks beautiful! Like a track in the middle of a manicured park.

Looks like (as usual) a great time! The last 3-4 years the date for this event has conflicted with a race weekend for me. Hoping that my schedule aligns next year, and I can make the haul to NJ! Steve

I use the SFI dual durometer on my Caterham when I track it. With my helmet on, the headrest pushes my head forward awkwardly. So, I remove the headrest and attach the foam with zip ties. No foam when not on the track.
