"Bernard, I also have a Chevron B29. It is B29-75-16. It is the Bill Brack 1975 FA Championship car and is in original STP livery.I bought it about 4yrs ago and have totally restored it and that includes everything. It has about 1.5 hrs on it. I have…"
"My plan is to take the car to Road America for the May SVRA race. I live in Milwaukee so that is my home track. I would have liked to have a test day somewhere first but that isn't working out. That is why I was asking about set up. Even though I…"
"Thanks Tony, this is the Bill Brack car. Pat Phalan sold it to a guy in Arizona who never drove it. I was able to get the car along with a set of body moulds for a lot less then he was asking. The car is actually in very good shape, engine new by…"
"Tony, my name is Brian Stark. I vintage race a Chevron B36 and just bought a B29. I understand you had one for many years. I am looking for a good starting point for front and rear spring rates. Car has 220 front and 230 rear and that seems quite…"

Brian, if you want to get interest in the car here in the UK, I'd contact Mark Dixon at "Octane" magazine to tell him a little about the car and the Newman connection.
Kind regards,
Paul.
Canadian flag center section 6"X 8", 3"x5" Champion Spark plug sticker and if I remember correctly a TAG Heuer label in front. I find this site awkward to use. If you can PM me I can give you my email I can try to help you on this end. Dave
I think Bill Brack is still around. He will have pictures. The last info I could find on him was Bill Brack High Performance Driving Academy , Dunnville Autodome (416)-368-8294 This info is about 5 yrs old. The last picture in the PDF file with your car is from Mosport 1975.

I left a post with a link on Bill Brack. PDF file with pictures of your Car from 1975.

I agree. The springs are too soft. I would recommend 275 lbs/in in the front and 375 lbs/in in the rear as a good starting point. You'll find the car very forgiving with this set-up and you can stiffen it from there as you become familiar with the car. Take care not to lower the ride height too much (less than 1 1/2" front and 1 7/8" rear) these cars were meant to have suspension travel, and are much more fun to drive that way. Feel free to contact me at 860-355-1403, I'll be glad to help with anything on that car. I had mine for 20 years and could work on it in my sleep. Who owned the car before?
