I came across these photos on the ‘net last night – they may have been posted before, but anyhow, I was intrigued as to the lack on plenum chamber on the racer?

You don't need a plenum. What you need is the float chamber pressurised 3 or 4 psi higher than the pressure in the throat.

I see this car at silverstone classic most years I never noticed the possible dry sump is the gearbox just lubricated by draining oil from the top end then? Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

Yeah I was fascinated by the photos too, amazing old school, yet oddly sill relevant!
