SPA 2.25 litre systems in for Chumpcar Teams
Spa Technique’s Multi-Flo AFFF Fire Systems were designed specifically for closed cockpit cars (for example, touring and rally cars). With the 6 nozzles and large 4 liter bottle, splitting fire protection between the engine compartment and cockpit has never been simpler!
SPA “Lite” AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) is a non-toxic, ozone friendly, fire suppressant that offers the competitor the same level of protection as the pros use. The FIA approved steel bottle is an affordable alternative to the more expensive alloy or carbon-fiber fire systems.
Two zone protection which meets the requirements of most sanctioning bodies for onboard systems. This system, while offering the most economical choice available, shares the same quality design and construction as the entire S.P.A. Techniques range of fire systems.
We have the coolest customers who do amazing and challenging events. Check out the 1967 Volvo 122 that stopped in today on their way to Vancouver!
Dave Clark and Dave Meyers are about to take a massive road trip from Vancouver to Halifax, following the route books from the Shell 4000 rallies of the 1960’s. Total of 5000 miles (8000 kms) in about 10 days! And not on Hwy 1!
From their website www.canada5000.ca
The Canada 5000 is part history project – recounting the famous Shell 4000 Rally races that ran across Canada in the 1960s. It’s part road trip – following various routes of the original Shell 4000 Rally, but stretching it out to 5000 miles across eight Canadian provinces. It’s part car rebuild – we’ll be driving a 1967 Volvo 122S, so we’ll be taking a non-running 48-year-old Swedish sedan and bringing it back to life so that it can make this journey. It’s part writing project – I’ll be documenting the whole experience and interviewing the drivers and co-drivers who ran the original race. It’s part fundraiser – my partner in this project Dave Myers and I will be raising awareness and money to fight Alzheimer’s Disease.
You can follow their progress on the website above, with a live rally tracker, or on the social media links below.
Or make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society in your province.

First event of the 2015 Western Canada Rally Championship was held last weekend, in the forestry areas NW of Cochrane (and Calgary) Alberta. Almost 30 teams took the start in what was a combination of dry gravel, wet and snow/ice conditions. Congratulations to Roger Sieber and Garret Mealing for their first win!
