Racing/Competition GB ideas (get a jump on your competitors)

[zenrat]

Not if you use the fuselage of an SR-71 or a Beverley though. 

Assuming it could catch them, or perhaps it would wait until "they" tried to lap it, the Beverley could swallow its rivals.

Yes, just leave off the doors and fly directly in front of them as they try and pass. GULP! 

It's 'Competition' too, so models need not be 'Racing' in nature too, which means I could build my Extra 300 kit in some Whiffy scheme perhaps........... 

Yep, any form of competition.

Chess playing robot anyone?
Army Catering Corp Master Chef kitchen?
Self propelled armoured pool table?

I did put a Centaurus on a Swordfish ....

Don't Revell do those big dinosaurs....

Paris - DUKW ar amphibious desert racing

Surely the Bev would be horse-drawn? 


Or perhaps mule? 

I've got a photo of my Grand Uncles using about 20 mules pulling an early monster size harvester which was taken in the early 20's IIRC. I'll hook it out and try to copy it.

Interesting choice of truck cab for 1989. Still an impressive engine set up.

Would it be wrong of me to suggest a game of Lawn Darts? 

F-16s and F-104s embedded into a giant dart board...

Competitors one and all.
There are just over two days to go until we start The Competition.
Please begin making your way towards the start line in an orderly manner.
Those requiring scrutineering form a civilised queue and have your wallets ready.

[Tophe]

wallets? how huge is the fee?

[Hobbes]

Wallets are for bribing the jury

They need tilt systems to get around bends at those speeds!

Hmm, there are those... but they are real world:



Another interesting railway subject would be the Kruckenberg Schienenzeppelin:



or its prototype:
