Great video! I love those images from the onboard cameras, especially the fancy footwork! Well done, and many thanks for the entertainment, especially the two hairy moments!!
I see from your cylinder head removal video a Webber twin choke and a tubular exhaust manifold. What else has been done to the engine (capacity, cam , compression ratio etc) Probably wouldn't want to go this wild for ordinary road motoring , but I'd appreciate the info
Thanks for your message, the page here has most of the details www.britishracecar.com/DavidRussellWilks-MG-MGB.htm. Capacity has been reduced to 1840cc the comply with the series regs.
I passed the link on to some friends and one responded with the following; “That looks like a lot of fun. I wish I could see the tach. It sounds like they really wind those motors up high.” Can you give us an idea what kind of RPM’s you might be running at? Thx David.
@@davidrussellwilks Fantastic, what a thrill to be in the same class in the same race with the son of the designer of the famed WSM. . I am green with envy. You put up a good "fight".
WSM 1963 Custom modified MGB driven by Tony Wilson-Spratt son of the designer. You want one? Get in line : ) I have wanted one of these since I bought my first MG back in 1964. I have a 63 B... sorely tempted to gut it and build a "tribute" WSM.

Great racing! Both of those accidents looked almost intentional haha.

Thanks for your message Bruce, max revs are 7200, peak power is around 6800
Amazing video XX...... Im just curious.....was that a "Thumbs Up" to Ed for overtaking you ???? lol ;-)
Thanks for your message Ollie, I knew Ed had a bad start and was quicker than me, I was happy to let him go and see if he could make some places up.
Good race. Was car #97 a WSM dicing with you?
Yes, Tony Wilson-Spratt (his father designed the car) caught and passed me in the closing stages.
