July Update

The develpoment of the bodywork for the car has been slow and frustrating, time issues in other businesses have prevented us from creating the right template for the moulds.

Testing of the current format has been limited although some high speed runs have been conducted, instability is likely to be an issue.

The car itself has therefore been reassessed from the current format with one of the 2 chassis manufactured by Hamiltons being carved apart to allow the format to be that closer to a dragster than a car with the target of developing greater stability in the runs.

The weather in recent weeks has prevented any testing of the new chassis as even a damp surface creates additional hazards we would rather not contend with.

The workshop build therefore continues without running the car in the hope that the 2 formats can be assessed side by side once the glorious british weather returns to normal.
