yeah i did kind of think that chris.

something to do with ford production lines

i.e if the car did roll off the production line as a 4x4 you cant compete with it.

Is there not a V8 RWD focus racing down south in a championship? You could try getting into that since you are all prepped to race etc.

Thats not good news.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your cars race the Mallory, and at last some decent competition for Steve.

Surely there is a problem somewhere with the officials?

How were you allowed to racr in the first place if the cars were illegal for the event???

I would be fuming if that was me, spending all that time and money to run a single race then get evicted..........!!!!!!!

Anything to do with the Ollie Allen crash, do you reckon or just sour grapes that you have better cars and pose far greater opposition?

well i reckon the race report says it all "one of our more respected drivers who is also our current champion found himself involved in an incident....Pointing a finger or apportioning blame will not change anything...I feel deeply for Ollie, who i have known and liked since the time he started racing" ??

Chris and Andy,

Gutted for you guys. I hope this championship goes t*ts up now. Whats up with them can they not take some Scots coming down and giving it to them?

Re-shell all the bits into two escorts and go down and show them all how its done.

At the end of the day all the cars in the series are highly modified and have only a vague resemblance to what Ford Motor Company intended. I mean is a WRC Escort fair competion???

Guess that say's it all Is there any way you can appeal?

Will be their loss, as they could have attracted far more spectators with all of you competing.

While i'm at it. Correct me if i'm wrong anyone......Chris and Andy were both in class F....Stuart and Steve Scott must be in another class (A i presume)....What problem does Andy and Chris cause if they arent even in the main classes? I didnt hear anyine talking about any other cars after Mallory...These cars drew the crouds and money for the organisers.
