I'll try and get to this one. Especially as there seems to be a lot of Sutton residents going. I must know somebody. All those years outside the Mc D's in Sutton you get to know a lot faces

 

not going now

have to be patient and wait for 2007

 

i'm still planning on going tomorrow, as long as i finish car off today.

But it's not running my new engine spec, nor the Quaife ATB i've got, but will be in a few weeks, for when i go to the pod on the 15th.


Does anyone know when the gates open, or when the sign on time starts??

Cheers

 

Just got back.

@ 5.20 i left my house, and after 3 hours and 215miles We were at avon.

But it Rained, and rained, So Shakespear called it off before any one had run.

And just got home and un packed, So all in all i spent £85 on fuel, food etc ect, for a waste of a day.

But got speaking to a Bloke called Carl, who had a mint F reg XR2 in red, which he's owned from new, it was running 2.0 PE cvh on Bike carbs, he said it was rolling roaded @ 182bhp, but he's best time it run yesterday was a 15.9 @ 89mph on Budget tyres, but to me 89mph shows 140-150 bhp.
Will get some pic's up, But also he said he won a PF mag xr2 shoot out in 1997, running same engine but on a 34 dmtr carb, with a 15.3 1/4.

Also looked around, and spoke to a bloke with a 8.9 second road legal mk2 escort drag car running between 1200 - 1400 bhp yank style engine and nos. (it run 8.9 on old spec engine which was 1100bhp).

 

Went Avon yesterday.

and apart from the extra 30mins travel and miles, i prefere Avon to the pod.

The strip and timing gear are the same for grip and times.

But the que's are less, and faster moving,

And best of all, from the que i could see all the cars running, where is at the pod you cant.

i run 13.6 @ 100mph, which is my PB to date in the xr2tt.

 

Yeah we went for the ford day a few of us in saff's a 3 door and series 2 spent all mornin in the bar which i hasten to ad was closed!!!!

But they still left it til lunch time to call it all off! still got a free ticket for next time which is lookin to be 28th & 29th of this month its a jap show but still goin to see wat sort of times im gonna get ,

Anybody goin??
