Lucky you! We hope to race at Chimay next year. Have been spectating / marshalling for the last 5 years there and used to go to Jehonville when that was run.

we raced there for several years, last time was 2004
(Chimay, Jehonvillen mettet, Gedinnne).
We raced with a Windle Imp and before with a Norton.
But the frame for the Imp was to old and not good anymore after a crash at Gedinne, so my husband built a new one.
Hope to see you next year at Chimay

I can hear Dejan thinking "Hillman"? The Imp engine was unlike any other Rootes* product. It was actually a modified Coventry Climax engine which conveniently fitted the rear engine designed car. De-tuning was performed on the engine to keep the Imp within affordable insurance boundaries. This is why it is ideal for racing as it was originally built for that purpose.

* The Rootes group produced such vehicles as Hillman, Sunbeam, Humber and Commer & Karrier commercials until they were eventually taken over by Chrysler Corporation.

Nice looking outfit, never seen one running with the carbs at the front of the motor and right hand chain drive? Good luck with your racing.
