I remember that Eagle from Rocky Russo's 2005 attempt at a F1 Proxy series - it was spectacular back then, glad to see it has survived so well.
Mark, those wheels are machined from bar stock not forged - I doubt anyone could make a forging die accurate enough or small enough to forge those.

Dennis, I used the term "forged" very loosely, (and inaccurately) especially since I don't know what it means. I certainly accept that the CB wheels were machined. In any case, they look pretty nifty. I'm told they hold up to the rigors of racing.. I guess I'll find out soon enough. I think Charles may have a set on the back of his Ferrari, but i could be mistaken. I often am. Cheers! |

I'll be very happy if our little series mirrors this race:
POS DRIVER CAR
1 Dan Gurney Eagle-Weslake T1G
2 Jackie Stewart BRM P83
3 Chris Amon Ferrari 312
4 Jochen Rindt Cooper-Maserati T81B
5 Mike Spence BRM P83
6 Jim Clark Lotus-Cosworth 49
7 Jo Siffert Cooper-Maserati T81
8 Bob Anderson Brabham-Climax BT11
9r Pedro Rodriguez Cooper-Maserati T81
I'm sure EM and Charles won't object... No Coopers in our series though, at least none that I know of.

I had the pleasure of a brief drive of EM's beautiful and beautifully engineered Eagle around the Wolverhampton track a few years back, it is good to see it is still in good health.

Thanks Jay, I was holding my breath as the post does sometimes take a while from Perth.
Regards

I am glad the Recycled BRM has finally arrived after almost 3 weeks in transit.
