[Graham]

Graham, if you count the number of turn to remove the body, I can send another that’s ready to go assuming no more damage to the car.  We will know once you open it up of course.  That body will be hard to replace at a far price.   I will search for a few if you need a monetary value applied.  No worries again as I know this was not your fault.  Also if that’s a MRRC Chaparral, I have one that I can ship to Graham for use to start a rebuild or for parts as. I will not be building a chassis to go under it.

Tony, the problem is that even though most of the cars visually look ok to run, they were all, subjected to being crushed. There is no doubt about that. Kevan’s Jaguar was in box 1, ALS Alfa in box 2, Makem Chaparral in Box 3, your Pantera in Box 5. And also the body post has been detached on Bangers Racing Porsche 911 in box 4. So unless all the cars are checked out by the owners we are likely to get results in the following rounds which have more than likely been affected in some way by this incident.

My only option really is to call this series off, and relook at how the cars could have been better protected for the next proxy. Obviously choice of courier will be a major factor, with the cost implications associated. So there is quite a bit to do before sending any more cars off for another proxy round.

Personally speaking, this type of classic Road race series is one of my favourites. So I would hope to run another in future.
