So, I still haven’t found a roof, nor have I managed to get Old Rusty sprayed. However, I have had success in finding lots of nice bits, none of which I can fit yet… (more…)
Setting the scene
Since I started circuit racing back in the early 90’s I have always raced with the PBIC in its various forms. In the early days it took a while for me to get into the action but when I did it was fantastic. For me the lure has always been good close racing, the thrill of winning through good driving.
In the later years, as I’ve moved up the classes, I’ve found it near impossible to obtain the same performance as Midgets and V8 powered cars. Simply, you can’t get the power out of the B Series engine. Couple this with the spiralling costs in the pursuit of performance and begin to get more than frustrated. At the end of the 2007 season, we had seen the likes of Dan Ludlow in his VHPD Metro, mixing it at the front of the pack.

I have been using Classic and Modern Engines for many years. Paul, the proprietor has always been most helpful and also always meets our impossible deadlines!
In the mid 90’s Paul worked on my B series engine. This year (2008) he has built my K series VHPD engine, it produces 191BHP and 149LB of torque, which is exactly what we expected. The engine has been faultless throughout the seasons racing in the PBIC Championship enabling me to take the Class C (fully modified) honours with some very close racing during the year! So many thanks Paul.
