I seem to recall a VW roll car at Gizzy about 3 seasons back?
Sitting around for years and apparently fired up with a decent push?

one of the first nights out after some tlc after sitting in a paddock for about 10 years I can't quite see it on the video but what's the mechanics of how the roll cage bit works - does it throw out somehow so that it comes out further than the rear wheels? ( I seem to remember Stratford had one in the 1980's - think it was a VW butnot sure. Anyone remember it?) |

the lower half of the cage throws out by air rams witch hold them out till air reset pulls them back in. there are a couple of switches that operate the rams one on side of car witch some times dose not get triggered so there is an inertia switch as back up

My uncle had a rolly car in Stratford back in the 60's, think it was a ford of some sort??
