Holbay
May 17, 2009, 06:10:18 PM Last Edit: October 24, 2019, 08:26:17 PM by Anders Dinsen
I took this photo of a 1973 Brabham F3 today at a classic car meet... Holbay cams and Weber's do it there too! :D :D
It felt really nice recognising the brand on a race car.

(To those not knowing, Holbay made a splendid "fast road" cam for the 2.2 Murena engine which I'm running with my sidedraught Weber's)

Hi Anders. That is sheer beauty. ;D
Do you also have a Holbay valve cover on your Murena to go with the cam?

Unfortunately not... would love to, however! :) I'm thinking it might be possible to transfer the typography on this particular valve cover to one of the Murena covers?

Haha... then look at this (same car):



This one is from the front showing driver getting ready:



and in action:



He drove it carefully, I think, and I don't know if he actually completed the race, which makes sense given the state of this beauty!
