if i heard right the lads from blackpool managed to do the quater in 12.64 which for a car on it's first official outing is some going and the puma they had there wasn't shy too doing 12.8's all day long looks like the fwd scene this year is really taking off should have some new records all round if paul j gets the focus out to play

 

You heard correct mate.

 

Yeah times are right mate, Puma and fiesta both broke shafts this morning we managed to fix the fiesta though after a few lads with the twin engined fiesta got us a shaft, Thanks again btw!

Both cars will be back with more to come, Cant wait!

Was a brilliant weekend, some real good cars with good times.

 

which record is that then?

 

hey lewis could you send me a pm on the pistons i might need for my zafira as i'll get the rods with the engine if you know what i mean, i take it the lass was for weight saving purposes and nice to see a girl peddling a car so well we'll no doubt be seeing a lot of each other this year

 

another post says that a rs1600i done a 12.09 so that would be the new record would it not?

 

Its her car mate not mine I built it for her, She does do well in it though.

 

The rs 16i was cosworth rwd powered.

 

there was a blue mk2 fiesta that did a 12.6 against one of my runs, it's in my vid i've put on youtube, it's in the last run of the video.

Should be great this year really hotting up!

Maybe get a FWD TOTB team?

I'll be up for it.

 

Didn't someone say that last year? And the year before that?

As said, nice one to the lads from Blackpool.

 

Ohhhh You had the de-spoliered car. Notice it from the roof mounted cam. Stunning car that!

 

Yep that was me, and cheers

 

Cracking day it was, nice to meet you Lewis, I noticed on one of your runs a lickle bit of a snake towards the finish line, fair play though you didnt let off (nutter)

(Note to self, never get in a car with lewis without a nappy.lol)

FWD cars are defo the focus of this year!!

 

well done boys/girls some very quick fwd cars out there this year
cracking day for sure, what a kick off for the show season

 

So thats my Escort RS turbo record of 12.65 at Crail beaten then.

Well done.

Simon.

 

Do the blackpool lot meet up at all? Would be great to see these cars

 

simon what happened to your car??
saw you park it up then next thing you were loading it onto the trailer
looks an animal

 

a very good day, evey credit to lewis and jeni in the puma, and dean in the mk2 fiesta, had a great weekend.

excellent times set, should certainly be an interesting year

 

yeah we do every now n then at weekend, just keep an eye out on progress way

 

Oh right cool, I work around the corner - please give me a shout next time you all meet up

 

Yeh bummer, the box pulled the subframe off - wasn't expecting that much grip!!

First run I lit the tyres up in 1st, when it got grip 1 second later it hoped in the air while pulling the subframe off the chassis.

Needs subframe mounting a different way. It was the cars first run after been put together on Saturday.

 

simon,i missed your car, wanted to watch, the track was not very forgiving sunday morning, i always leave my runs to afternoon

 

Car certainly looks purposeful mate.. look forward to seeing it go once the issues are all sorted

 

as above mate,car looked the biz.defo no show car and out to do buisiness. you cant rush these things thats why mine wernt there

 

It was good to meet you to mate n ill be in touch soon about that dash.

Little Dean owns n drives the fiesta not me, I wouldnt go down the strip in it if you paid me lol, It tried killing me when i was a passenger.

Cant wait for next year now, think we are planning to go again at classic ford, is anyone else going?

 

It looked a handful!

There's a few big hitters aiming for Classic Ford.

Me included

 

classic ford is always a good show
i should be at that one too, bring on the rest of the summer shows

 

top banana...

 

I'll be at classic ford show in June

 

we'll see you there and might give you some competion this time

 

i saw it on the day but any pics of the mk2 fez??

 

Hopefully the tigra will be there pulling some 12 second quaters when Lewis helps us get it finished...

The Escos is in for map now as well mate. Roll on USC!!

 

Tried all day to get Paul up the strip with the Focus, but sensibly enough was thinking of the lifespan of his gearbox. Can't blame him really, gotta be in a bit of a mind frame to set records

 

am going classic and i missed the puma, it gose well tho !very! and deans is leathal needs some shocks and brakes on i think? he he

 

Be nice to see some fwd fords at TOTB even if they dont stand a chance against specky's 10 second tigra, would still be great to see them having a go and winning isnt everything

 

think their all going usc as its the same weekend this year !

 

USC same weekend as ford fair mate. Is totb usually not earlier?

 

not this years think tricky told me at weekend never mind totb woz getting shite so usc it is this year
