From Stacey re CAMS log books for Mark 7s.

hi,
noted on john lowes blog the cams mk7 requirements. Eddie is in the process of getting his log booked but is wanting the triple webers and larger wheels. from his initial inquiries to cams the john low cams requirements is what they quoted him. 
luckily Sean's dad had a lot of dealings with the dick Murphy mk7 that raced at wanneroo in the early 70's, at that definitely had triple 45 webers , but he could not remember the wheel/Tyre size. luckily seans dad has photos and super 8 footage of the car so that should sort out the cams road blockage that is cams(or as some kind Victorian member has noted-confederation against motor sport).
so once eddie has sorted it all out , I will let you know so that other mk7 can race competively. Also Dick Murphy is still in Perth so that is the other avenue to validate his claims.
Stacey-pres of the 6 in line works fine club....
ps-Eddie broke the Collie lap record and should win this years comp....told you 6's are good

Good luck Eddie!
My understanding, having spoken to Cams and VHRR about it (some time ago though) is that the CAMS spec is it, unless you can PROVE the alternative spec. in the time period, as stated in the CAMS regs.
I am not sure reading your comment if the car is the actual car, and if so it would then need the time of the alternative spec to be prooven.
Good luck, and I'd love to hear how you get on (I hope positively)
Incidentally the CAMS spec is basically the Sports Car World definition of a Mk7 (Though I struggle to get the track(S) correct). Shame they didn't up the spec then!
