Norm Wheeldon Passes
« on: February 03, 2024, 10:01:04 AM »
I got the news the other night that Norm Wheeldon died . Norm was well known in England for his "Two Much" FED powered by twin blown alky SBC's. For many years he would come to the states and meet me at the March meet in Bakersfield. He was a welder fabricator and had a good career with March Chassis and also The F1 team of Benetton racing. In his younger days he ran a roadster class at the drags ( 3.8 six jaguar power) with a great deal of success. Later with a blown sbc RED he managed to secure the European T/A title . Not only did he build his own two much twin engine car but he also built a single version for Nigel and James Charman to run at the Nostalgia events at Santa Pod raceway . His cars were extremely well crafted and detailed in the build . I enjoyed spending time with Norm many times at the March Meet and then also on his home turf at Santa Pod. I will miss him greatly.
