<< A friendly warning
I just recently went to the Performance trade show in Sacramento, and while
it was great for racing, and to a much lesser degree for hot rods, it was
of no use whatsoever to my LBC craft. >>
I went to the English Racing Car Show and IT DID HAVE a bearing on what I do
with my LBC. Because, I found the company who do coatings for exhausts and
inlet manifolds (probably every A Series engine would benefit from a heat
coating on the inlet manifold). Also I got to chat to the guys from ARP
including Carroll Smith and THEY DO STUFF FOR THE A SERIES ENGINE. I asked
around about what plugs leads are best. I met some old pals and had a chat.
I browsed a whole pile of motoring/engineering books but decided not to buy
any of them (decision later regretted)
Sure, a racing show is about racing cars and racing parts but even for those
who don't race (me included) there is often a lot of useful stuff - you just
have to have an enquiring mind and think: Hey could I do something like that
with my Sprite?
