kieran

 

not a bad time!

 

It was in the back of beyond lol

Went down about 11 and it was dead quiet

My mate run his MkV Cortina and got 5.51 twice (2.8 + NOS)

Steve

 

I did 6 sec flat carrying 3/4 tank of fuel & a set of escos rims

 

One of my engine builds got a 6.1

RS2K 2.3 4x4

 

never found the 0-60, looked like it was in the middle of nowhere

 

It was a fair old treck mate im nackered from working the ten miles from where it was to my car

 

Just been speaking to my next door neighbour as he works at Silverstone & Rockingham.

He was doing the 0-60 today. He said the fastest car was an S1 that did a 3.5 second run. Must have been Shifty?

 

my battered fiesta 1.8 zetec did a 7.08 with the coowner driving it. Not bad and pleased we did better than the previous times

 

not bad time,probably you should make a video

 

My big old German tank managed a 7.44. Loads of people were taking it seriously and had the bonnets up and engines off as they waited, rolling their cars forward by hand. I sat there with the air con on



XR8 in front of me sounded awesome

 

was like 10 zetec s's all over 10 seconds

 

Lol at the Audi sat in the middle of all the Fords

 

my mate did a 3.59 in hes mk3 escort 4x4 cosworth. it on the cover of this month's performance ford mag

 

the quickest i saw was harvey run a 2.89 sec 0-60

 

I know , I did feel somewhat out of place. It's these shows that make me really miss my RS Turbo

 

We're you the one that declared 'I don't really like him, it's purely sexual' over the PA system when the woman 'interviewed' you?
If so, was funny as fuck!

 

No, but that's funny as fuck

 

i did two runs,both times i went for second gear and the bloody gearselecter cables popped off!! not happy!

 

8.5 ford transit van

 

would your van be a blue smiley face job?

 

Mr crazycage got a 5.27 which I think was the fastest time recored for the second year running, he also went home empty handed without a prize for the second year running also.

Consistancy to the max :-(

The fiesta zs which had a frs engine in it I think? was doing some mid 5's as well which was very impressive, and a nice car alround

 

no mate mine was the grey one did the blue one do the 0-60???

 

Thought the location for the 0-60 strip was poor this year, right out in the middle of no where. I suppose the good thing was that it made it pretty quiet for a lot of the morning at least

My MK6 Escort, which has a boggo 2.0 Mondeo lump in got a best of 8.6. Was hoping to get under 8.5 as that seems to be what others manage, but hey ho. It doesn't feel ever so quick compared to some I've been in so that's about right. Can't complain for the 600 notes I paid for it!

Think it needed to start a touch further back really though. I was doing about 70 on the clocks as I got to the brake boards on a couple of slower runs, so if you couldn't do it in 10ish seconds, you were too slow, which excluded quite a few of the people in Ka's and things which doesn't seem ever so fair to me.

 

6.8sec in the 24v drift Saph..... with melted tyres

 

Ade you seemed to get very close to the pit wall coming in at the end...

Was t that close as i was only in the stand?

 

6.59 in my red FWD RS2000, my first attempt was 8.88 as I missed 3rd gear, doh

 

That's alright, on my last go, I was so distracted by the bird talking to me, I didn't even put it into first gear, so I dumped the clutch and nothing happened

The jolt made it creep just enough to set the timing beam off so got something like 9.8

 

lol, you was easily distracted then

 

I just had a little skid on the u-turn bit

 

Very good drifting ade today

 

Cheers mate! I was driving the first two sessions, two mates driving the two sessions later on...

 

Harvey Gibbs got under 3 seconds to 60 again, managing a 2.6 last year. So pretty consistent

 

my mates magenta saff got 4.2

 

In my MK2 RS1800i powered Orion I got. . . . . . .

9.72 I think

Need to go home and practice

 

The location wasn't ideal, but due to the revised layout of the circuit there was no other useable option. It was a toss up between having it on Stowe, or not having it all. There would have been a LOT more complaints if we'd have not had it at all.

Last year IIRC Gary did his time after the cut-off (normally 3pm ish). This year he got exactly the same time as a different competitor - I've no idea why he was 'picked' and not Gary, as I was just handed the results at the end of the day.

Obviously he's joint first so deserves the first place prize. I'll be looking into it today, and will do what I can to make sure he gets the same prize as the other guy (A VI Performance Monitor).

 

I think I jinxed myself when she asked what I was going to do differently and I said "Get it right this time"

Yeah, totally understand the reasoning Dan. I suppose having the full circuit was probably a popular move. Would you know if having the 0-60 spring down at Stowe had an effect on numbers? As it seemed pretty quiet when I was down there, though I didn't go down in the afternoon.

Perhaps I'm just bitter cos I couldn't do it right

 

dan, my time last year was set around mid day. You gave me the trophy and put my time in the mag as the fwd winner.

 

My apologies - I'll ensure one goes out to you this time.

EDIT: There's a VI Performance Meter in the post to you now.

 

^^ What a top fella.
