To be honest the Skyline boys are taking it far too seriously, just look at their paddock, peeps changing wheels, filling Nitrous bottles, removing everything, including one Skyline which had Perspec windows, and they are all running funny smelling fuel
Some were even running on the boldest rear tyres going which would be boarder line anyway, road legal. I think next year the organiser need to clamp down, remove the funny fuel, only allow the car to run on the tyres it arrives on, and at the very least prove the car has made it to the meet on it's own steam. I'm taking nothing away from the Skyline itself, as a car, because it is brilliant.
I would just like to see a full RST, and Cossie team to put in a stronger performance, including some 4x4's, you will probably never win it against the above as they are clearly spending mental money on a 'money no object basis' just to win
beside the Cossie is probably 18 years old now, so it does have an excuse! and I still love em!
At the mo, the team seems to get smaller and smaller each year
Top mark though to all the peeps would attended, some proper nice and fast Ford
Special well done to the new owner of Paul Ripleys old FRST, 12.77 second quarter from a standing start is truely stunning for a RST
The 1000bhp Supra, is that the one Mark Shead mapped? If it is, and that managed 200mph, if I read MadRods post correctly yesterday, Mark thought there was nothing in it speed wise between Rod latest Spec Cossie and the above Supra (assuming it is the same one
) so it is still possible for the Cossie team to put in a challenge.
Next year I would like to see
Cossie Team
-Martin Hadlands
-Sean B's
-Danny B's
-MadRod's
-Brom's three door
-Karl Norris's
-The Cossies that ran today were also good
RST
-Jamie Going's
-Paul Ripley's old car
-Sunny FRST
-Black FRST from today
-Soy
-Grey S2 from today
-Oli's S1
thats my dream team anyway.
I would like a good, but first i have got to sort a RST out
Not sure about the T4 cars only rule either as surely a T4 car is only strongest on a top speed run, and assuming you have a quick T34 or whatever it might be more drivable and quicker over a 1/4mile and the handling circuit especially if it is RWD? not sure
