Default Close racing! FAO SiB etc

I know you like your Evo racing so heres a few pics from KH on Sunday.

These two are always flat out and get very very close to one another.

Too close if you look at the last pic!

The flame went right thru the grey cars grille and came out the vent on the bonnet!

That is the best "flamer kit" in action pic I've ever seen Euan! Awesome pics! I've seen one of those old You tube vids of the guys in Cavaliers and such like virtually bumping each other round the track at KH.

You Scots are mad!

Love this one so much, I've posted it again! Out the vents and out the wheel arch - that is cool

knew you would like them Si!

KH hot hatch days aint as mad that they used to be as they now seperat trakc cars and road cars and it seems to have calmed it all down a bit.

It pissed down all day on sunday and there were very little stopages or crashes.

Infact the first red flag of the day was caused by a ford!
