Mike Rainbird wasn`t exactly slow, he was giving the 200 a right run for its money

never saw the festa but saw it in the paddock with a smashed windscreen.

did you see the corsa incident ? when it blew he lost it and ended up on the grass then that blue scooby comes hairing down and hits the oil and spins out and nearly takes the corsa out

The merc was one of my favourites today. Cooooool car.
Some real quick cars in the expert session, black 3dr, focus cossie, Ollies S1, Butchs S2, Rs200 etc...

Me and my mate were in the intermediate session in the fiesta, fookin scary on the first outing in the rain! red escos was quick , Mike rainbird, black saph etc..... Cars still handling shite but it was short notice today so didnt really get the chance to have it set-up. Think its gotta go now tho only been out in it 3 times this year!! seems a waste just sat around for the occasional trip out.

Wasnt the same without the Bailey car, Steve Scott, and the scottish lads to watch tho.

I was liking the RS200 of Will Orme but it stayed behind Mike on the bends, had lots of power on the straight but hey thats not everything. The red Escos of Justins was immense, dont think it got passed by anybody all day
A few cocks trying to hang it out onto the start finish straight but frankly looking out of control good use of the black flag there but Dingy was JUST on the edge of adhesion making it a very quick car by the end of the day.

Dingy escort or Justins ESCOS?
