Mostly because you photoshopped his name off the pic, you cheating bastard! ;D
But also, the band round his lid didn't used to sweep up, and his nose didn't look big enough (I'm not joking, I looked at the pic and didn't think it was Jody inside that helmet).
He was good driver, very quick, but like Hunt, he knew when to get out; he made his money, won the big prize, then bailed out before he killed himself, and there's no dishonour in that.

No not at all though good luck to the bloke. Though if I had not removed his name from the side of his crash helmet it might have been a bit too easy (for you at least it seems).....Not sure about anyone else though. ;D I'll post another in a week or two.

Took me a while to work it out though, I should've looked at how uncomfortble he was looking on that bike, Jody wasn't bike rider by any means.

Shame you deleted that picture Jim, I was curious to know how a JAP engined Morgan was on track at the same time as a modern outfit; my guess was it was either a 750MC event, or something to do with the VSCC Pomeroy Trophy.

Sorry about that Ian, I was not sure if you were looking in and I doubt anyone else would have got it.

Sorry about that Ian, I was not sure if you were looking in and I doubt anyone else would have got it. So what's the story behind this pic Jim? I'm pretty certain that's a proper Morgan JAP, but it's cornering really hard, Morgan's patented sliding pillar front suspention was renowned for it's stiffness (the old joke used to be if you ran over a coin, you could tell if it was heads or tails up!) and that car has definitely got a lean on. But why is it on track with a modern outfit; was it an event like I suggested, or just an open practice session for a bunch of events later in the day?

It was at the sidecar festival at Mallory Park during October this year. They were competing in a class that allowed conventional outfits along with these JAP engined three wheelers. You can also just see the passengers crash helmet on the extreme right of the cockpit area. What the classification was that allowed them to compete with normal outfits I have no idea. I'll check the program if you like. Have few other shots from different angles if you want to view them. Interesting your comments about the suspension though.
