small batch of 13:37 integral first gears (used with 7:31 crown wheel

WELL
DONE EVERYONE AT THE SILVERSTONE HISTORIC GP CIRCUIT MAY MEETING !!
A fantastic Classic Racing Cars race with a
couple of 1000cc F3's providing a shock for more than a few F2 cars!
The grid was a shock probably for some with
David Methley bringing out the ex-James Wigmore Merlyn MK14A for the
first time and putting it in third spot behind Simon Hadfield's Lotus 48
and Geoff Farmer's BT18. Also well up the starting grid was newcomer to
CRC from the Guards Trophy, Stuart Tizzard and fellow migrant Jim
Chapman who was out for the first time in another ex-James Wigmore car,
the Lotus 59. For more on this and photographs of the competing cars CLICK

WELL DONE EVERYONE - MONACO HISTORIC GP !
A super result for two of our regular drivers, Francois Derossi who runs the Historic F3 European Trophy and Paul McMorran, a regular at our HSCC events. Francois came 2nd after various dramas at the re-start (the first start was red flagged due to a stupid collision caused by a driver towards the back of the grid stopping in the wrong slot then driving into the car in front) with Paul third. The race was probably the most exciting of the day and they were all a fantastic spectacle.
All our regular drivers did well with Richard Eyre 5th, Chris Holland 8th, Steve Wilkinson 12th, Geoffrey O'nion 13th, Leif Bosson 14th, Gareth Williams 16th, Nigel Miller 20th, Christopher Drake 23rd.
As a spectator sitting in what must be the best possible place, stand K in the marina, I can honestly say it was a fabulous race, especially the first 3/5 laps with the eventual winner Christian Traber, Francois and Paul fighting hard for the lead. Hard and tough but all being the complete gentlemen they are.
There are a few photos from 2010, plus a couple
from 1967 and 1968 on the Monaco page. Click

JUSTIN HALER'S NEW BOOK
A MESSAGE FROM JUSTIN
Many of you will be aware but some
not that I am writing a new book on the 1000 cc Formula 3 era. I was the
Autosport F3 'man' in those days, 40 years plus ago! I have contacted
many people in my research so far and that has been great. I am still
looking for more photos from the era - and of course any memories that
your members have. I would love to talk with anyone who has memories and
views from those days.
I am coming
out for a few days research centred around the Oulton Park meeting at
end August and would be very happy to meet up with anyone who had an
interest in the great 1000 cc F3 era. My email is haler@global.co.za
Regards, Justin Haler.
