Chris Evans
Mid-2000 Chris & his wife decided to take up some hobbies,
He chose racing and his wife flying. At least she can't
complain about his hobby costs, cars are cheaper than
airplanes!
Having completed a season of UK racing, Chris has been
tempted to see what FISC is all about, whilst
continuing with his UK championship in 2002, he first tried Spa & then signed up for a further 2 FISC races in the 2002 season.
Both the car and driver are a little slow, (the driver
is starting to improve). - Chris's words - not mine
Chris' first race (only 8 days after the racing
test) was in pouring rain, He started and finished last
and spent the whole race laughing to himself.
He says :- "I was
unable to believe I was on a racetrack. Even better
were the Silverstone 2001 races"
Chris' Car
1965 MG Midget.
The previous owner had the car restored from a shell
in 1992 as a road car. Various changes and upgrades
turned the car into a Hillclimb/sprint car to MGCC
Cockshoot race regs.
Chris purchased the car at the end of the 2000 season and has
raced it without changes in the MGCC Cockshoot
Championship.
The engine conforms to the UK regulations (1330cc mild
cam, and twin SU) with standard gearbox and diff.
Hence it is far below the allowed FISC specification.
