Default Time Attack / Modified Live - Snetterton 12 Oct

Anyone interested in putting their car on a modified Ford stand - car has to be obviously of a suitably high standard (as we want to show the Jap boys what we can do)?

Will mean that you get to park in the infield area, can watch the Time Attack and Modified Live (www.modifiedlive.co.uk) all for a much cheaper rate than the £20 gate price (£12)?

Please let me know if interested . If we have sufficient interest (there are no limits to the number of cars), we can even group the car types in separate groups .

There is also a concourse event, which I am awaiting more details about, but trophies and prizes will be much better than those offered at Ford Fair .


1. Mike Rainbird - Escort Cosworth - 500bhp
2. Bullet - Escort Cosworth - 420bhp
3. Damian Vennard - Escort Cosworth - 385bhp
4. SteveV6 - Escort Cosworth - 330bhp
5. Kelvin Heard - Escort Cosowrth - 500bhp
6. Christian Major - Escort RS Turbo S2 - 350bhp (T.b.c.)
7. Twins - Escort RS Turbo S2 - 250bhp
8. Tony Saunders - Escort RS Turbo S2 - 320bhp (T.b.c.)
9. Will Puss - Escort RS Turbo S2 - 250bhp
10. Michael Church - Sapphire Cosworth - 370bhp
11. Dan Yap - Sapphire Cosworth - 400bhp
12. Luke - Fiesta RS Turbo - 450bhp (T.b.c.)
13. Steve - Fiesta XR2 Turbo - 350bhp
14. Ronnie Amis - Sierra Cosworth - 400bhp
15. Wayne Ash - RS500 - 510bhp
16. Stuart Sharpin - Escort Cosworth MkII - 380bhp
17. Nathan Relph - Focus RS - 280bhp
18. Pete Hadden - Fiesta XR2 Turbo


Concourse
1. Martin Holland - Escort Cosworth

No, no, no, no! Just run it at sensible boost for ONCE and give the engine / turbo / cooling system and easy time .

You've witnessed yourself with the destruction of your T34 what stresses track driving puts on things, so run it at a low setting and ENJOY!

Mike, what i witnessed was a t34 turbo that had covered 30k miles. 20k of them at 1.7 bar, 6k at 2.2 bar and 4k at 2.5 bar. according to some that life of the turbo is impossible to achieve. But saying that i tak eon board your advice and may ask Mark to turn the boost DOWN to 2.3/2.3 bar
