Damn, that's interesting....I wonder what we were driving when we put
things like Holden 6's and Lotus twin cams into Anglias

The Anglia sported a range of power plants from a 113E 1340cc to 116E
1500cc later supercharged then taken out to 1760cc and later replaced
with a BRM tuned Lotus Twin Cam. The car was raced continually at
almost every eastern state circuit including Hume Weir, Catalina Park
and Bathurst and many times at the famous Warwick Farm Grand Prix
Circuit .The Lotus Anglia was written off in a crash at Surfers
Paradise during the1972 new years meeting.

Over the next couple of years the Giant Killer Ford Escort sports
sedan was built by Ward in his performance tuning workshop in outer
suburban Sydney known then as Wardspeed Automotive The ex Piers
Courage Cosworth FVA engine was purchased in damaged condition from
Pat Bourke Racing and restored by Ward and installed into the Escort .

Don't tell me...we weren't racing "Sports Sedans" we were racing
'sports sedans'

Something to do with CAMS changing the NAME of an already established
category....and altering the regs.

Tell me Nod, in your not so humble opinion, what would YOU call a car
that had been extensively lightened, had a different engine,
transmission and suspension installed yet comformed to a basic
silhouette formula...?

We called them sports sedans...

IIRC CAMS called the Sports Racing Closed.....maybe you could look
that one up in a CAMS Manual BEFORE 1976.

OH and the never won by a Mini.....better have a think about
classes....You know the race within the race where cars with similar
engine capacities race for their championship....

Problem you have Nod is that you weren't there....I was!

You know, you continually replying to people with "no it wasn't, no it
wasn't" without going on to offer any proof of *why* it wasn't doesn't make
you look particularly clever.

Not recently it would seem. Honeymoon is over and all that. To be fair,
it's no surprise Google finally got some revenge, he'd be using it as a
lifeline for far too long.

Hey Oz - VH___??

If your memory is as good as Noddy's you won't remember that the
