Fwiw the winner of the fwd this year was a Rover running iro 280bhp (just to show you don't need monster power).

I wouldn't worry about what Joe public thinks either. Surely the point of ANY event is competing and you're not competing against the cars running 9 / 10s 1/4's. Be good to see some RST's next year and there are certainally some very potent cars that seem to have turned up, its just not the same without you guys!

Seriously, it's full of tuner-sponsored mega high budget cars and people who are only interested in looking at the cars they see in Banzai etc. I love every event I do, but this is not one for me.

Even the Cossie boys aren't really with the pace I'm afraid to say.
