Default Reality RE TOTB

Was it any suprise?The organisers are NOT man enuff..sorry no direspect but they aint.

So many cars could have kicked butt..

Kev Sharp
Martin H (regardless of crash..not entered anyway)
Sean B (car not ready...errrr why?no cause of lack of cash)
Brom
Spadge need say no more
Rods???????????Did it enter?

ETC ETC ETC ETC

Now alot will cry and say its all about the cash...BUT they do talk a big race and actually thrash there cars at OTHER tracks..whats wront with doin it at TOTB?


Is it cause you know you cant win????Serious question........If you all come on and say...TBH i was a dreamer..i talked big BUT had no intensions cause a year aint long enuff prep..then FINE.

From now on..no more talk of YOUR Cosworth whoops BUTTS...cause until you go against others ON the same track you aint nowt.

NO disrespect this is how i feel...and YES i wont enter my own cars..as 1. They aint FAST and 2 i CANT afford it.

Be honest.....Why aint Rainbird got a car thats quick enuff?He organizes it BUT has chosen not to(nowt to do with CASH)..is that a team leader?

Where were all thes RST entrants?

DONT FUCKING TALK ABOUT TOTB4...you aint even in a Japs glass eye!

I do not beleive this post will make me more enemies than i already got..ROFL.

Im sure Mike will speak for himself, but his car was built to be a bulletproof, responsive, driveable weapon and I think it is that. On track I would imagine that there is little to touch it. I think that both you and I know that Mike could have put 600+bhp under his bonnet if he had wanted to.

To be honest, after I heard that there was a long line of big bhp 2.1 16 Valve cars lined up, I didn't bother rushing to get mine finished. In some ways I wish I had now!!

The fact that the Cosworth BIG GUNS didnt bother shows me that they KNEW they couldnt get close.

Whats the poroblem with admitting that? I guess there is way too much pride is mens second penis extensions..ROFL n

In fairness, would you enter a 1.6 RST in a Cosworth class? That's the same as entering the Cossies againt the Skylines and Supras.

Phil,

People can't enter cars that are not in any state to run can they.....?

But everything aside it comes down to someones choice to enter, after being there and done it I would be hard pushed to ever get involved with something like TOTB no matter how fast my car was or how much money I had.

I am a realest..i could say before TOTB2 and TOTB3 and so on...Cossies dont bother talking about it..wipe it..you aint gonna win UNLESS the big boys in the Cossie scene take an interest...the "proper" big boys dont wanna know...so why we all getting upset? They thrash it on the home turfs but aint willing to show what they can do against proper competition....I honestly think if Sean/Martin/Kev/Rod/Karl had been bothered to be as competitive as they say they are..then it could have been a different result..but they wont and never will.

..and of course that there perogative..but dont ever say they the quickest..only in the Ford world.

Very dissapointed in the Ford team TBH.

At the end of the day if your cossie does what you want .i.e. faster than 95% of other road cars be happy about it. I would be.

Its all about money at the end of the day and the cossie seems to me to be a cheap (ish) was of getting a very fast motor. Ronnie probably spent 60k on his Skyline hence he wins!

You need very deep pockets to compete in this company

Karl isn't even in the country so how could he attend anyway, so he has a viable excuse to have not competed IMO...

Daz,

Karl and anyone else does need any viable excuse not to compete....

their car, their money, their time etc etc etc

Why people think you are obliged to to show your car off to others is totally beyond me!!

Dan.....i agree Karl never said he'd enter...BUT surely his presence against the japs could have put his tuning skills on a very big map!!!!

I think tuners didnt enter cause they KNOW they will get whooped which i guess is bad for business

Mr Manchester..yes i was in my dreams..i was the one running the Skyline with "I love Reyland" on the side..ROFL

It is a bad showing this year but lets face it financial reasons are everones issue, some people have the big money and just pay to win, its a shame kev/martin/rod and the rest as said couldnt be there for various reasons. The lowest time i have seen posted for today is a 10.3 for a car with 950bhp, may have almost half the power again of kev/martins cars but driver skill plays the main part. I think for martin/kev to regulary hit 10 sec 1/4 with cars 300bhp down on some of these jap beasts as they are called is awesome, when it seems the majority of these big power cars hit 10 sec 1/4 to.

I honestly think if Martin decided to turn up at this event he could be in with a chance to win it overall, cause the escort is good at track work and sprints and wasnt rocket ronnie down on power last year and still won.

I completely agree Dan. My Dad's sapph is around 500bhp but chooses not to use it on track or similar events simply because he doesn't have the spare money lying around to sort it if it breaks and the car is his EVERY day car...he drives it to and from work so needs it in 1 piece...

Dan@Gremlinnet.com,

dan i think it alot to do with their own hype tbh , if you told no one that your car was xyz then no one would expect it to be anything special , if you present youself to a public bb with you power/ performance claims then expect to be in the public eye for the best of the best !! , to me i couldnt give a fuck !!!

Just an aside, (and I never thought I'd *nearly* agree with Phil lol) There's so much whingeing goes on about this event and how the skylines win everything, but they're going to if no-one gives them serious competition!

Not having a go at anyone at all, but you genuinely do have to be *in it*, to win it!

(that aside, the guys that were there put in massive effort against serious competition )
