racing and safety Sharing Some Vintage Race Shots

Andersson,

Any idea of the blue color on the 1800 (pictured after the Green NK)? Would that be Riviera?

Vintage car, but more current photos. The NK pictures and period 2000 TiLux ( my first car!)  in the pit area are inspiring. Still racing my TiSa, here are a few photos . Peter

Andersson, thanks for the great NK pix.   Oh yeah-by the way, I WANT to be IN ROW 5.  sincerely, Peter

If I had to pick, I´d say Riviera. And I think I prefer NK with the small tail lights.

@Jim:

Never saw that Opel head before. Know about the works 2-valve crossflow heads (BTW reproduction available meanwhile) and the later 4-valve engines for Ascona 400 (1978 or 79). Below the picture it says: Special cylinder head for a 2-Liter Opel engine constructed by the author and mounted in a Kaiman race car chassis. Head made by company Bergmann-Stock from Vienna, Austria. Do you have the whole book the scan is taken from and can look up who is the author?

 

 

Regards, Lars.

Lars - I found that picture randomly searching for "Dieter Quester" images

 

Here is the source for that picture - very interesting reading about the DOHC Opel engines (CIH = Camshaft in head).

One picture (not a good one) with an Opel in the foreground and some 02's.

keeping with the tiSa theme  - believe this is Pat DeWitt's car. Great article.

Might as well throw this back in the mix

Some really great images on this thread......

 

I posted up an engine start up from a friends Gr. 2 car (Schnitzer twin cam), its only about 30 seconds or so long so a shorty, but gives you a good "sound track" for that twin cam engine.
