Richy and I have just finished prepping 6 Tottenham sports cars for the final round of the UKRRA at Rockingham.
The rules are available here http://www.raceway81.com/page38.html. these are a good basis for a worldwide series, change the name ,call it what you want but you know you want to race this type of car. If we get more racers maybe Ron Hershman will produce a March 707 or McLaren M8D we seem to have a lot of OS ti22's
2 of these cars are for top UK racers James Cleave and Gavin Wills to borrow.
We are expecting a entry of around 20 racers for this class.

Hi Mike,

Great looking cars!

Here's a source for bodies in the link below:

I have some of their bodies, the Ferrari 330is superb but a little small. I really would love a march 707 I saw it race in a Interserie event in the early 70's at my local track Croft North Yorkshire, it's so close I was able to cycle there.

The early 1970's angle-winders are what Mike Steube had in mind when he first thought of what became "retro racing".
Under Paul Sterrett's pressure, he submitted to a strange inline formula that has become the Retro Can Am class everywhere today.

So "Retro Pro" is actually the closest to what the cars really were in the early 1970's, save for a slightly smaller motor.
Retro Pro and the 1-3/8" wide F1 class are the true retro-racing classes. Retro Can Am as it is today is kind of a bastard... and that is basically irreversible, as one can rewrite history in whichever format suits his needs.

I have just received a March 707 shell of Howmet TX which is greatly appreciated, he has produced this in a very short time since I suggested this body Unpainted as yet, I will get Scale paint Guru Chris Cowen to paint it up for me.
