Was a great day (again) and the weather managed to hold out for us too!

New camcorder footage is now added (right click and save target as):

20Mb - Supercar Final

15Mb - Super Modified Heat 2

13Mb - Super Modified Heat 3

Lots of lovely cars both on track and parked up

Gartrac Escort giving it stick on the track



Ex European Rallycross Championship winning Citroen Xsara (I'm assuming it's ex-WRC, it's fast as hell!)



A Ford Puma with extremely boat-like suspension (we thought it might be a ploy to get extra advertising space on the underside but I think it might have been running dirt/gravel suspension seeing as most of the cars competing are ex-rally cars).



Pat Doran getting ready to set off for a supercar round in the new Mk6 Fiesta - was a real shame that it wasn't running properly for most of the day



Julian Godfrey's daily driver! (his business is advertised on practically every single rallycross car there!)



Will Gollop getting ready to set off too



Extremely fast Nova!



Renault Clio V6 (on the outside - tubular spaceframe on the inside)



Lotus Elise lining up to enter the track



This XR2 has many battle scars including scabby front roof from where it was flipped over last season (I remember watching it happen and caught it on video! ) - still going strong if outclassed by the Pug 205 1.6s



Nice looking XR2i that was later seen mixing it up with the Pug 205 1.6 GTi's (sadly more at the back of the pack than the front)



Will Gollop trying to determine why the oil light came on when going round in his first heat of the day ooh: :aviator:



Check out the manifold!



I wonder if that actually holds the rear down? We watched this car enter and it's got a turbo lump - just not sure if it's 4wd or fwd (not that there's much difference with the Vauxhalls - the 4wd only kicks in on full throttle, the rest of the time it's fwd!).



Nice Lancia Delta



Loved this mk2 - Retro motorsport tuned, had all the goodies in the right place (we saw it leave and reckon it's a tuned pinto lump under the bonnet )







Jonosi's Si Turbo - this has to be one of the cleanest most car park dent free Fiesta Si's I've seen! 8)



My mate Neil's RS2000 4x4



Check the brakes on this car out (Dermot Carnegie's Cossie Focus)



Nice install!



Beasty Metro 6R4 - loudest car of the day by far!



Mental go-kart on show (probably being used on the track at quiet times over the weekend :devil: ) - check out the LCD speedo on the wheel! :aaah:



The mother of all motorhomes 8)



With wonky dtm exhaust!



Do you reckon he's peed off with Neil taking this pic?



Pat Doran's Fiesta mk6 in action



Supercar race





In case we had forgotten!



Super modifieds



Renault Clio V6 getting it very wrong!



FiescosDan's mental 4x4 Cosworth powered Fiesta - with R&D 6 speed gearbox (geared for a theoretical top speed of 180+ :aaah: ) - very nice bloke too, was good to meet ya dude :aviator:



Xsara chasing Will Gollop



This is what happens when you repeatedly hang the tail out too hard round bends in a high bhp 4wd rallycross car - the tyres pop!





Victory for Will Gollop!



Was a great day - thanks to Neil for driving and taking the pics (I did the video).

Hope you enjoy the pics - the complete set can be found here:
