NEWS: ATS Sport Downforce Monster Track Beast Is Coming – Fast!

Keen Road readers may have spotted the news on our Facebook page that the Automobili Tourismo e Sport (ATS) – the "fondly remembered F1 and sports car manufacturer of the 1960s – brand has been re-born. Good news! The team say they "are working to ATS's original ethos of extremely light weight vehicles utilising high efficiency, compact power-plants." And they are about to launch three exciting new models throughout Europe – as well as re-launching the cult De Tomaso brand, which they hold the rights to.
The first of these new models is this ultra-lightweight, downforce-inducing track day special – the ATS Sport, and here's the brief lowdown:

• Dry weight only 470kg.
• Develops 1,150kg of downforce.
• 4g cornering forces on slicks.
• 3g cornering forces on road legal semi-slicks.
• Up to 540bhp/ton.
• Stainless steel chassis.
• 6-pot Tarox callipers, front and rear.

And a road going model will also be available, alongside the track day special.

owner/drag racer sells off his barn kept 57 Chev dragster to move to Florida from Pennsylvania

parked in the 70s, and out of the weather ever since, this was a Bel Air, but he tossed the Chevy parts and planted a 426 max wedge with an 8 3/4 and a B&M trans. Now he's heading for warmer weather and the the new owners are in vintage racing heaven!

did you hear about the B 25s that were caught in the volcanic ash fall from Mt Vesuvius in 1944?

I thought I'd posted about this some years ago, but nothing popped up when I searched for it

About everything there is to know about the B25... including where all of the known ones are that fly, are on display, are getting restored

All this is just a small part of the info at http://www.skytamer.com/North_American_B-25D.html

they even wrote that Indonesia was flying B25s until 1979
