Welcome to the fold Neil, I'm sure you have a heap of fun. John Anderson built a really nice Imp outfit about six or seven years ago for his son-in-law. Unfortunately Adrian has serious back problems and doesn't use it now although he did turn up at the last Have a Go Day with it (unlikely to be for sale either unfortunately). As per usual John made an awesome job of it too. If you've got enough folding they can be made to go really well as the Poms make/made all sorts of hot shit for them I believe.
They are eligible as far as the Register is concerned as far as I know. Why would anyone need a loophole? Most of the Coventry pump motors were only 750cc and a bit down on power. There's one racing with the Register and has been on and off for about 20 something years. Another John Anderson rig.
Interestingly, Nev, I was told by a guy in the know here in ChCh that the really quick ones in classic car racing now use I believe a Pugeot block.
Apparently it's visually identical and the Imp bits swap in. The guy I spoke to was doing the required machining to take them out further than the Imps ever went - around 1300cc.
We used to have a guy here in ChCh who'd built and raced Imps in the UK and had a worldwide rep - and clients. He's moved to queensland but the guys who did his machining are still here.
Just watched a video of the sidecars racing at Taupo, some awesome racing and a huge field of chairs.
My question is, do you not have to hold your line from the start like we did in speedway, well until you hit the chalk line anyways?
I noticed in every start one chair seemed to veer straight across to what I imagine is the pole line, I presume he is hoping the others will continue to back off, looked like some, especially that quick #73 chair let him go rather than have a potential Phark-up, especially in the 2nd start.
Certainly don't want a shit fight, just curious as I have never competed in road racing.
