Missing the Festival

[Steve Moore]

Sadly we will be missing this year's Festival, the Big Cat is still waiting for its new claws. At Celebration last fall we had one of our Jongbloed wheels develop a crack. When we called Jongbloed, they advised Bill Jongbloed who sold the company took the molds with him and started up a new company. To make a long story short, he cannot make our wheels and the new owners of Jongbloed cant either.

So we shipped them off to BBS and they are making us new wheels.
Hopefully we will have the wheels in time for Mid Ohio, best of luck to our G70 brotheren, have a fun/safe weekend.

I was looking forward to see you at the vintage festival with the big cat.
I am just finishing some minor points on the corvette. ....:cool:

Hey Rob,

Yeah we were too, the car is back together after a winter teardown and is ready to go. Unfortunately were at the mercy of BBS and UPS. Not sure what your race plans are for this year, but the SVRA Event at the Glen in September is a must do! Have fun at the Festival it looks like G70 will have a good field of quick cars.

That's a kick at the cat after a rebuild.

I don't know whether our Jag rims will fit, I think only the rears would work anyway, they fit a 25-13 on a 16 inch diameter rim. The fronts are only 10" wide so would not work anyway.

Compomotives

If you are running Jag hubs these should fit, however offset may be an issue.

You are welcome to borrow the two if need be.

So I guess you missed the HSR Trans-am reunion as well. Bloody 'ell.

Thanks for the offer Jon, but considering how fast this thing is I want the right shoes on it. You going to have your new Vette out? Yeah we missed this weekend's HSR event too, but we've committed to running some US Events later in the year.

We will be doing the Sebring HSR event and reuniting the car with Bob Tullius and the other two T/A XJS's. We asked Bob if he wanted to co-drive in the enduro with me, sadly he say's he's retired from racing and will just attend to spectate. If your ever in Sebring stop by his hanger there, #44 Victory Lane,Sebring, he has quite the collection of his Group 44 Race Cars and Aircraft. He just donated his P51 Mustang to a Museum back in England.

Yes Steve, I plan to take the Vette this weekend. Fingers Crossed all goes well.

Sorry to hear you'll not make it, Steve, I was looking forward to seeing the run up against Jon and Rob's Vette's, and getting a chance to talk to you again.

Good luck with you wheels.
