Spoke to John yesterday and he said we would be using the Holiday Inn as Tony Condon already had a booking from last year.
If anyone else wants to book here is a link

Silicones are widely used at the vintage meeting Gerald
I have hardly ever used anything else and I believe Derek has used the same pair most years!

I was putting a 1/24 Russkit car together for the weekend and had this Shelby King Cobra T10 body to use.
But does anyone think it may be too wide, I.e. a handling body?

the car was very wide as can be seen from this picture

I'm just not sure,
it works out at 83mm across the rear arches.

I don't have any dimensions for the car.
I have found a blueprint and when scaled to fit the wheelbase of the slot car body (8' equivelent) the width comes out to 80mm, but of course the blueprint may be wrong!

QUOTE The Model Cars Scrutineers Handbook gives the following dimensions for the Shelby King Cobra.
Wheelbase 93"
Track Front & Rear 56"
It doesn't give an overall length and width unfortunately.
This is the Shelby King Cobra T10 which I believe was a different car.

Thanks Mick
That gives a track of 60mm
If I space the wheels so they fit nicely in the arches I get 65mm so I guess this is a handling body after all.
I was also working on a wheelbase of 96" if I scale the drawing I have down to this I get a body width of less than 80mm.
Oh well back to the drawing board!

Found my Shelby book and it almost looks too narrow from this picture!

Why didn't I look in Model Cars!
I wouldn't say it was narrow at a shade under six feet wide Russell!
Scaled up to 1/24 the width comes out at 75mm so it is a handling body, shame I quite liked it.

You must have gone the long way round Colin, I was back home at 8pm and you are nearer to Dartford than me!
