Superstox NFR 6

The Cars History / Previous Owners

Since acquiring my Superstox (NFR 6)  I've been looking into the cars history as I'm a bit of an anorak on things like that.  I knew a bit of the recent history of the car but lets start at the beginning........

The Car was built by HCD and thanks to their records it was chassis number 96/009 (9th Chassis built in 1996).  Colin Aylward told me that Chassis 96/001 - 96/008 were all Brentwood show cars that year for such drivers as Glenn Salmon. Darren Innocent, Rob Speak, Mick Sworder etc.  Chassis 009 was the first built after the show and it was built as a F2 for Dave Madgwick.  After flicking through my photo albums, I came across the picture on the left which I believe to be my car taken on 2nd June 1996, at a Good Friday Autospeed F2 meeting at Ringwood.

The 2nd owner of the car was the Late Chris White #80.  Chris acquired the car as a Rolling Chassis from Dave Madgwick (who was now racing in superstox #217) around 1999 and Chris added the SX wing and converted from A Frame to watts linkage plus various bits and pieces to make it ready to race again.  The car certainly helped Chris up his game and get back on the pace, until Chris then switched cars again this time to a new Higman.  Chris unfortunately was involved in a RTA and passed away in September 2001.  The car then sat at Chris's Workshop for approx. 18 months before being sold.

The 3rd owner of the car was Mark Almieda #194 and he acquired the car at the end of 2003.  Mark made a couple of changes to the car, most noticeable from the pictures was the position of the aerofoil.  Mark really liked the car and had much success with it including several wins which got him up to the Blue grade despite not attending every meeting.  Mark last raced the car at the Chris White Memorial meeting on 29th October 2005 and got 8th in the Final in its last race.   Mark was finding the formula was getting expensive especially on tyres so decided to sell the car in 2006 and built and now races a 2lt Stock car instead.

The 4th owner and current owner is Superstox.org.uk Webmaster Lee Fear!

Many thanks to Colin Aylward, Steve Hamilton and Mark Almeida for helping provide the above information. If you can provide any more history on the car then we would like to hear from you?
