Swindon swapmeet today.
I was looking for another piece of mid seventies American muscle that I could chop up into racing shape.
A racing partner for the sunoco camaro.
Only to find one of the biggest surprises ever at one of the stalls.
The current lap record holder for the LSC "TransAm" is held by a Hornby bodied Camaro - 8.55 seconds built and raced by the late John Secchi.
Today at the swap meet, there it was. The car itself. Scaleauto guide, shod with ortmans, a dead giveaway
A couple of calls, a couple of messages and a few photos validated this as John's car.
Pics below.
Not a cut'n'shut but a Slot.IT HRS, the car is seriously "slammed", running the body much lower than mine.
This is THE car that inspired me to cut up a Hornby camaro in the first place.
Can't wait to see how this runs at it's homecoming on Tuesday.
As days go, today was good one
