History of a Lola T492 Sports 2000 chassis?

[911thillclimber]

Finals have arrived for the next round at Shelsley Walsh on 10/11 August.

This is a BIG meeting, rounds of the Midland and British hill Championships, so the very fast boys arrive.

So there are 3 of us in the class, myself and the usual Norma and Chrono sports cars with well over 500 bhp and all the modernatity that brings.

At least the Lola will get into the allotted garage spot in the busy paddock, I doulbt the other 2 will be able to get the cars into the garages.

The garages are very quaint, but erected so long go Austin Severns fit easy, rest is a tight fit.

On a negative note, cleaned the car well after Prescott and have found a 3" lone 'line'/ 'crack' in the one rear Dymag wheel.

The line was not there 6 miles ago when i last cleaned the inside of the wheels.
I suspect my lovely DYMAG magnesium alloy wheels made in 1976 are reaching their end.
Fortunatly i have another pair that fit of the right size, so the best one will be used to replace the suspicious one.

I can then get the bad wheel crack tested.

This wheel looses no pressure, so maybe not a crack.(?)
