    I've got a set of the regulations for the Nova Rallycross Challenge somewhere, I'll try and dig them out.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.

    That brings back memorys
    Used to follow rallycross quiute a bit back then,i remember one meeting at
    croft where the challenge cars were just rolling over for fun.Think 7 rolled over in one day the problem being useless suspension which started off soft and gradually got harder the more you threw the car around.
