This weekend I'm dragging this '59 Austin Healey Sprite home. It has been a racecar since the early 70's...set up for autocross and road courses. But I want to take it to the salt in a few years. It has a race prepped 1100cc engine.
Anyway, I can't wait to get it home and get to work on it.
Hello Warspite and welcome to the forum. If your location permits attending Speedweek, you might consider attending & checking out the Milwaukee Midget's I/GT MG Midget.
Reading through his whole build diary (Yes, all 189 pages) will prove useful as well, at least you'll know what you're in for.
Race-prepped 1100 eh? My advice is to strip it down to bare bones to determine just what it is, and, what condition it is in. Don't trust that it will "probably be OK to run". Better to find out any bad news on a teardown, than to drive over broken parts. Just my 2 cents . . . . . . .
Choose your engine displacement & class wisely, so you are not @ the bottom of possible performance in a displacement bracket/class. LSR is tough enough, you don't need to smack your head against a concrete wall too . . . . . . . Again, just my 4 cents . . . . . .
