me and NUTS RUS went to cadwell to watch the Ford Saloon Car challenge today... luckily it was the Radical racing weekend too


fook me they stick like shit to a blanket



anyway some piccies...

 

how did scotty do , not sure if he raced or not??

see martin has repaired his door from silverstone

nice pics

 

I love that mk2 escort!

we built all those T-CARs!

 

Steve did about 4 laps and then we didn't see him again


he started near the back and was upto around 5th in 2 laps


didnt get a chance to find out what happened either..


but i can guarantee the ANZ 500's clutch was slipping like a bastard

well done to martin for actually completing the entire race with a bolloxed clutch

 

Those T cars are magic and were driven hard by 14 to 17 year olds I think.

Would show up a lot of people, wish I had the oppertunity at that age. The white one Adam has posted is J Palmers son in his 2nd ever race, meanwhile dad arrived in his helicopter, watched the race then promptly headed off back home in style

As said Steve was flying from the back of the grid but something happened and he didn't pass us again. Shame about Martin's problems too

Top Radicals were lapping around the 1.29s - 1.31s, and the winning Ford was around 1.34s - 1.41s when I timed them, just shows the power to weight of the 1200cc motorbike engined little monsters.

 

Great pics

 

Just spoke to 4x4 Pete, Scotty blew 2 turbo's had a engine fire & blew the gearbox up

But the ribs held up

Great pics Adam

 

he blew one turbo in qualifying and caused the fire from all the oil then the box went on the restart in the race(saturday)

in the race on sunday the fuel pump packed up i think it was on lap 3

 

Oh and the Blue XR2 was absolouteley flying


some great driving from what we could see and he came in 3rd (i think) behind the escort cossie and the yellow escort

 

Love the Alfa

 

That alfa sprint (car 20) was amazingly fast.

Last to 3rd before taking himself and the leader out on a bit of a winning move that lost

 

I think he had the blue car on that move but why go for the red one as well not as if it was the last lap

 

Did you see it pete ?

A dive down the inside on that section usually never pays off

Tidy car though. I found out on the day that my mate had just made its new carbon kevlar wings. Guess he will be busy this season if the driver carrys on like that

 

they are fun to drive as well lol, i got to do the scholarship in febuary, and they are great !!! i would loved to do the season, but not enough cash

 

Good pics

I was going to go over, but had to travel down to london for work

 

Nice pictures. Can't believe I forgot about it

 

Can your mate make carbon kevlar panels for anyone ie bumper and wings for wrc escort? if he can he might come in handy near the end of the year chers

 

Its in his line of business pete, so I guess so. Would probably need moulding first though

"Automotive, plant machinery and commercial specialists"

Called in to see him today and the mad bugger was making some carbon/kevlar mudguards for a cement mixer

 

Chers NUTS RuS, I will contact you nearer the time if we need someone to make some bits thanks for your help
