Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking Woodstock, our 1973 S/RSR out of the barn to pick up parts at our client Blankemeijer. The engine loosened up considerably over the course of the day and although I didn’t rev the new 3.0 RSR block too highly, it felt great. It was a rainy day, there is no heating in this car and I was wearing a woolen hat, gloves and thermal underwear to be able to put up with the temperatures… Thank God all that was enough to stay warm. The engine is relatively mild (as far as RSR engine can be…), as we have used S cams, but torque is already massive. In traffic on the Rotterdam ring road I stood on the throttle in 2nd and I fishtailed towards the next car!
