Thats us home from snetterton after a nearly 6 hour journey congradulations stuart for his 1st place & chris for second
& im sure andy would have been in the top 3 if he had
brought his rain tyres .Instead at 3oclock when the race was
starting chris & stuart changed to wet tyres andy had to say with
the dry ones giving him virtually no grip at all. .
It was a good day it was sad to see steve scotts car fail as it would
have been good to see them all going for it on the race.
At the start of the day chris had a few teathing probs on quallifiying
which was sorted out as did andy with his boost(harvey & his lap
top sorted that & it was time to wait for the race.Stuarts car broke
n/s/f ball joint that was a easy fix & he was ready to
Bearing in mind chris & andy found out that the am sport fiesta & andys focus were kicked out due to certain front runners one in particular
Malcom Wise getting a pettition against their cars entering the race when they had raced & passed scroutineering and regs at mallory park 2 weeks before but never mind..so on wed 5 april they found this out leaving them 3 days to get two escort cossies built which they managed they stripped the focus & fiesta & built the cars & made it to snetterton
& after all the hastle we were all delighted to see stuart & chris lap Malcom Wise in the race for his poor sprotsmanship
Top effort

 

Top job lads. Was a great day. Stewart Whyte's cossie Just seemed to have so much more grip than any of the other cars and was so fking quick down the straights. Was a pleasure to watch. At least they beat A certain Mr Wise as well

 

Top effort to them both

Found out from Bill on Sat what they were doing and nearly pissed myself as it just shows you what bad sportmanship there really is with some people

 

I think everyone is delighted at that, I know I am

 

Stuarts car is well suited to him & he has been driving that car for 2 years
he is awesome in it
Andy & chris had never drove they cars before today not even a test drive
as they didnt have time we put the stickers on chris s car this morning 10 mins before qualifying.
But never the less we all had a gr8 day hope you did to Malcom if your reading this post

 

Carlo what is going to happen with the fezzy and focus shells ?

Will they be eligible for other championships and used again ?

 

well done to all the scots boys

 

I must admit, when I knew something was going to happen I was half expecting the fiesta and focus to be on the track painted bright pink or something and holding all the other cars up

 

Chris wont part with the fiesta a know that he will build it again as far
as a know.
But am not sure a think andy might part with the focus shell as he is keeping the escort.
They can do other championships in them but to do the one they did today
they need the escorts so there would be no point in swapping over all the time.

 

Cant blaim Chris for no parting with it

Im sure they will clean up in the ford Saloon car championship and hopefully see the fezzy out another day

 

Steve scotts car was impressive today in quallifying as well.
And as for the ban steve also sufferd having one of his fiesta 4x4
cosworths banned for the same reason chris & andy did.
Altough steve made it 2wd for the race which looked a bit hairy coming of the first corner broadside

 

Its a shame that it had to happen this way but when you have these old timers who cant take a bit of competition from some new faces. Well done to andy and chris for doing what they did. A lot of people would've just threw in the towel but they boys did well and rubbed Mr Wise's nose in it as well. Its a crying shame that two stunning and different cars had to be split to do it though. At least they now know that andy , chris and stuart are here to stay...

 

Awesome work by the lads pre, and during the race

1st & 2nd and lapping people - Now let that be a 'word to the wise'

 

I hope they smiled and waved as they stormed past

 

I wondered if it was rwd, he couldnt get any traction for as far down the start finish straight as I could see. Looked lethal that thing. I was sitting on russels at the time.

 

Malcom wise had the cheek to be snooping about when we were with the cars....
Chris was talking to steve scott just after quallifying & malcom wise
walked up not knowing that chris was there n said they scotts lads arent having much luck chris turned round & laughed.
Well as the old saying goes he who laughes last laughes loudest

 

Malcolm Wise is gonna regret everything he's done. And he's brought it all on himself. Now eveeryine knows what he's like and he's gained nothing out of it.

 

Hope everyone saw the Motors TV programme which showed the Mallory Park race from 2 weeks ago. They had camera in Andy's Focus, and anyone but the blind can see that Andy was not at fault for the crash. In fact you can clearly see the Fiesta driven by Ollie Allen move into the Focus and cause the accident....

For anyone that does not get that channel, a clip of it will be up on a web site soon....

 

yup, I saw it looked like the Fiesta cut across the front of the Focus.

..and whoever mounted that in-car camera needs shooting

 

Please post this video up to prove what we have all known sice the day it happened....

 

This is another point as well at mallory park stuart white came 1st
& chris 2nd-chris had a good race & deserved his place as he had nothing to do with the ollie crash simply because he was in the am sport fiesta & andy was drivin the focus.
Chris came away thinking he was 2nd because he was then on motors tv
it shows malcom wise 2nd
Chris then found out his points had been taken of him
He has contested & he will have his points back he spoke at snetterton
to them involved yesterday
This just shows another advantage of a sore loser front runner
enough said

 

well done to all involved
dont you just love when someone gives the two fingers to the powers that be and comes out on top

Totally,well done to all of them!
Lets hope that we see the Fiesta and the Focus back at some stage,whether it be this season or next!

 

Just out of interest whats Malcom wises complaints about the cars? what rules are they breaking?

 

Explanation on this thread.... https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...174&highlight=

 

Can you summarise it for me please

 

The rules also state:

If they were allowed to race in the previous race and passed scrutineering, then surely the 4wd was permitted?

There is also provision for 2wd cars to move the driven wheels to rear when previously FWD - which is what I guess Steve Scott did with his Fiesta.

 

Should sticker that on the back of the cars next time round

 

i need to get my finger out and join those chaps eh!


well done the lot of them

 

I'm sure there'd be a rule against it

 

chrisd/amsport posted on the other thread

 

Basicly wise & rainer got their but kicked + wernt happy they must have sat with the rule book sived through it & came up with a excuse!
Chris got his points yesterday back & they told chris that class F is scrapped hence how the fiesta & focus wernt allowed to race.

 

it amazing too see you guys out of the track with steve and the likes,,, massive crowd pleaser and im sure its bringing more people too watch it

hopefully the V8 seirra will be ready for the next round

 

just noticed the next round is pembray aswell just down the road from me

 

Hopefully the seirra will be good for the next one it will be good to see them all going for it..
Next race is in 3 weeks in france
That gives them 3 weeks to get the cars perfect & not 3 days

 

 

Watched the last race on TV last night and the am boys lookt fast Cant wait to see the next program to see them getting it lit

 

Oh, so it was Stuart I can blame for Harvey sending me half way across the county for a TCA, only to find out 20 miles into the journey he had sorted it .

Was a nice drive out .

 

First car was miles faster than the others. Bet theyre looking for other ways to ban the am sport boys again now

 

nar they wont,,, not when they see there tickets sales are up
