Due to an unforseen incident where one of the local Motorplex staff was injured the final shootouts had to be canceled.
As Ron and Adrian have equal points overall in all classes we have given the 1st place in all classes to Ron as he Won an event in his class where as Adrian only got as high as second in all classes.

As this is an Arabian event we had to judge in classes to find a UAE champion to go forward into future TOTB international events.

How nice is the fensport corolla

 

Nice videos. Keith Cowies car just snakes all up the strip

10 sec qtr though in the mildness! Nice 'Burnout' aswell

 

Keith Cowie and his car wasnt at TOTB arabia

 

Ron Kidel Skyline = SIMPLY AMAZING!
....almost as good as Keith Cowie's.

What was the fastest fwd top speed and what distance did they have? Also fwd 1/4 mile et & term?

Thanks - Sunny.

 

The Lemon lived up to its name on the time attack

 

 

I WISH

Keith

 

Prefer Ron Kidel's car to Keith Cowie's really, Keith's is awesome but Ron's is more of a road car, and far far better looking IMO

Can't believe the Corolla does the Lemon though!

 

hi sunny!
the fwd crowd werent as strong as at totb uk, you dont have any worries on that score just yet!

most of the fwd were civics etc, but we also got a girl with a supercharged mini, and none were that quick straight line. handling wasnt bad from them tho!
we had to run at just 700m for top speed, but the track people are building on a full top speed run and a tarmac circuit for next year, they have a great venue there.

 

the track wasnt ideal for the Jun Lemon, way too tight and twisty, it never came on boost. i was lucky enough to go up the strip with Mick in it, and its mega quick once it comes on boost. real privelage (sp?) to get a go in such a famous car.
the fensport car is one of my faves, and is a proper allrounder, ie 10s 1/4s, 200mph top speed and great handling and brakes. adrian can also drive it hard, and it spools up ok for sprints.

 

I've always been well impressed with this car, awesome!

 

Whooops. Who's was the red one then?

 

Ron Kiddel from RK Tuning

 

cheers for clearing that up Cam

Proper snakey run

 

Pity none of them managed to run a 9 sec pass

Keith

 

Just looked at the pics and Ron's car just gets better and better! Looks truely superb with that kit on it!

 

Nice to see the Jun car break the 12 sec barrier

 

Hasn't Ron's car ran a sub 10 sec 1/4 pass in the past?

 

 

 

im sure with time and practice mick will get the lemon launching better

 

It just goes to prove that it is not as easy as everyone thinks.
It also does not look like it is using a 2 step launch control to help build
some boost on the line.

Keith

 

Thanks for the info Chris!

Keith, stop talking and show us some 8's!

 

second that

 

Nice one hopefully it will be on the arabic telly (gear one). they have been showing old TOTB's recently.

The only bloody channel i can understand.

 

I plan to as soon as it is ready to run,it will be a race to the 8's

Keith

 

How much does it cost to bring the cars form here to the UAE it must cost afew quid just to get there

Marco

 

Only race I can see Keith is between you and the clock, who else is close to 8's at the mo!

 

Nothing anywhere neer 8's in the uk at the moment certinly not 4wd and street legal/not tube framed

 

Hi Dan

Ron K is not that far away from a sub 9's i have a good bit more top end trap speed.
i cant wait to try the new engine spec and run with the right ET Drag tyres.
So far i have been using the M/T radials.

Keith

 

Homer

Sorry but with consistent terminal speed's of 158 / 160 MPH
and with the right drag tyres a 8's is not that far away.

Keith

 

Oops must be more clear, Was just a quick post between calls at work, I have no doubts at all that you will be able to run an 8 this year mate I was talking about other 4wd cars in the uk

Go out and do us scottish boys proud we need somthing to shout about

 

I will try my best

thanks Keith

 

if keiths car can 60ft and run 160mph then 8.70's will result, I only know a little about drag cars though.

 

250hp and 200ftlb more than 2005 will help as well

 

in that case 8.30's

 

Calculation I used worked it out at 8.17@173 with car weighing 1120kg wet

 

yes but I been around drag cars long enough to know when to be realistic he'd need to run a 1.28 or quicker 60ft to run that time and also take into account for gear shifts.

 

I hope you two are right

Keith
