hi m8, just to let you know, at NO point has this chap ever made contact or asked to join the Circus, in fact on face book he made it clear he wouldn't be joining as he does not want to work to a set of rules.

i can't see anyone wanting to pay what i'd need to get out of it so the plan will be to make it road legal :cool:. i'll continue the thread as and when :tup:
 
first 105 e Anglia came out in 59 so pre 60 body shape.yours has beam axle leaf springs. I remember when the Executioner`s started the gasser circus way back when some of them were running mickey t`s sportsman pro`s. those tyres weren't even out in the 60`s.there was a falcon that was post 1960 racing and accepted . back in the day in the mid -late 60`s they were racing mustangs nova`s even mid 60`s vette`s as gassers in the states .I v`e seen pic`s of 100e gassers racing in the states in the 60`s and they made them till 62.what do you have to do to make it right, run pie crust slicks pre 60`s engine, rough cast wheels?
 
Neal what can ya say, Fantastic Car, Built with quality in mind, Good old 50's designed British car, WOW hang on British ?????.
Are people waiting in line, I would have thought in the spirit of the game they would let " a gasser " Join in the fun.

agree with you there jeff .a circus is what it is .mabey they should start a CA class as that`s what was racing over here in the 60`s.modified british race cars` Austin 7`s mk !! jags 105e allard anglias and the like
 
hi all sorry to jack the thread but there are alot of gasser type cars being built and there is enough to start there own "gasser wars", i know the guy with the steel willys and his decal is "the circus is for clowns" it may be just a case of your nose doesn't fit with the set few . anyway their cars arnt built pieriod correct and the select few can use what ever parts they want. keep on racing and having fun, you wont be alone your car is a credit to you and built how you like it, and stuff them and there rules and run as a group on our own looking forward to race with you!

Maybe someone needs to start a British gasser class. I know of several people building cool gasser's at the moment (one is a steel 33 willys) with no intention of running in the circus because of this kind of bulls hit. I respect the fact they're trying to recreate a certain period in time in the states much like the vhra do with their events. But the build has been displayed for all to see ( even on the circus forum) something should have been said from the start before you invested all the time and money.

It is an awesome car Neil. I hope you keep it and have fun regardless:tup:
 
Fuckin ridiculous ......... I will be having a good look at the gasser cars at Dragstalgia this year to see who's allowed to cheat :shake: ....... maybe it would be too consistant and to quick.

Talk about a huge kick in the bollox, I think you've just had..... I still think you should race it in a bracket class and fook em.

Mate I'd love to see this thing on the street! Do it Neil... Become a legend!
Those pricks seem to forget what being a hot rodder is all about.... Building and driving f*ckin cool old cars and saying f*ck off to rules! đź””ends

they seem to be more dragster oriented, but thanks for the thought.
 
I can only say that I am really sorry about the shit you are having.

I know how my head works, and in the simplest terms it would be fuckem.

Good luck with whatever direction you go.
