Default Been to a trackday at elvington, not good results.

My mate started on his own with a pug 205 GTi a while ago, after winning a good few races they got a little team together, today i went to elvington to watch them race and have a few passenger rides

Car number 702 is has a 1.6GTi engine.
The other red pug has a 1.9 Mi16 lump
ant they also have an XR2



The Mi16 had split a pipe


Then disaster struck, coming out of the corner car 702 lost the back end and the front wheels dug in it went on its side left the floor and landed back on its other side, thank god it had a roll cage.





And we werent the only casualtys, this is a 35,000 mile 1 owner escort and it was mint.




atleast everone walked away you can see more pics and progress on the cars at www.hortonracing.co.uk

Never nice to see Andy.

The second pic (or first accident) looks VERY similar to a shunt I had with my pug We just put a new roof and front corner on it tho

Few balls of scrap brought back from Epynt today too - but most were trying hard as usual.

Here's Guy Woodcock in the kit car Escort saving his tyres

Thanks to Gary for that pic
