The next step

Well, the Imp is currently engine-less!

The 875cc standard has been taken out, and the 875cc Sport is about to go in.  A parcel of Weber jets and springs and things arrived today, so that will keep Alex busy!

 
The next deadline is the MOT which is due in March, plenty of time, right.....?

Plans for 2013!

Happy New Year! 

Over the Christmas break we sat down with diaries and event calendars and worked out the events we want to do in 2013, it's looking pretty full on. There are a couple of championships we can do - the Assoc of Central Southern Motor Clubs and the Assoc of South Western Motor Clubs.  They overlap a lot although the ASWMC championship has more events and includes some way down in Cornwall of course, which is 4+ hours for us.  

We plan to do most of the events at Wiscombe Park but also want to try some different venues so will be doing as many as we can; though we will probably use a trailer for the ones a long way away, for peace of mind apart from anything else! 

I have renewed my MSA licence and the next thing is to get Alex sorted out with his licence, and suit, helmet etc. - for those we are going to Race Retro in February which is anyway a fantastic show and we haven't been for a few years.  As an added bonus the Imp Club and the British Women Racing Drivers' Club both have stands at the show so we will be able to go and see them.

At the moment the Imp is in our garage having some work done on the engine, and things like an electric fuel pump fitted.  It seems a long time until April and the first event, but I'm sure that it will come around quicker than we think!
