Just got back well gutted kev couldnt make it,but fook me there was some right animals there calders supra did 200mph again,rc developments evo did a 10.3qtr with no fuss,plenty of super quick cars there no cossys made the semis but tib martin and nutter did us proud,and paul ripleys old festa made the semis then i fooked off to beat the traffic roll on totb4

Uncle Henry

Is it just me or was the cossie side wank?

four cars - thats it! is that all we've got?

fairplay to the 4 that did run (and also those that had to drop last minute) but were there no reserves? not a single escort cossie capable of running? or even a high spec saff???

we looked a proper bunch of tools imo, they wiped the floor with us big time

think Im gonna sell the cossie and get a scooby or an evo

Jon(m600)

yeh thought the same,them scoobs and evos deffo making up ground on the cossys.

Uncle Henry

It's a shame but its just been proved too many times now - they're better than us

I was well looking forward to Seeing Kev Sharps Escos showing the Japs a thing or two as well

It was simply a case that not everyone was ready, i wanted to do this event but could not afford to get the car done in time.

Maybe others are in the same boat or just ran out of time to get them finished.

How much preperation you need???? You have a year!!!!!

I glad i broke mine up..Jap is the way FWD Cossies have had there day IMO.

dannyblackpool

Only Lee seems to turn up every year without seemin to break into a sweat gettin his old girl ready!! but Respect due to all that made it and at least put the ford name in the competition!! Another year of unlucky breakages and unfinished cars,Lets get planning for TOTB next year!!

to all!!

What sorta time were we running on cossie team anyone??

Uncle Henry

tbh Ima's right (for once) is a year not enough notice?
I understand that it is an expensive game and not everyone can afford it. also last minute breakages are unavoidable but isnt this why we should have reserve entrants? or do we only have 4 willing and ready cossies in the country?

Alps Pacino

i agree that there was not enought cossies there but hey who cares it would have been nice to see 20 600+hp reliable cossies but the facts are that not everyone has the funds or the time to do it or have other priorities in life other than showing a scoobie up. Top day non the less roll on next year

Not all of us have the money to get them done in time, i took mine off the road about 2 weeks after TOTB last year and its still not done. But will definatly be ready for next year.
Someone said Kev Sharp was still waiting for Pectel to sort his car = no his fault
Rods car broke a one off shaft as you know.

When was your car ever proved?
When will the Skyline be as its sooooo much better?

dannyblackpool

At this rate ill get mine back out for qualifying next year!!

Milko Pete

Top day.

Made me want an Evo! That RC Developments car is cool as, not just the performance, it looks proper evil, I like it lots.

Piss poor showing by the cossys.

The red S2 on big rims, cage etc, was cool.

Left b4 it finished tho, they were taking this piss sorting out the finals.

Calders Scooby thru the fence was quality.

DaveEscos

how did soy do???

Milko Pete

Cant say I heard any of his times, he was struggling with grip in the morn but looked like he was getting better every run.

TIFF

Im sure if it was your car you put through the fence you wouldnt think it was "Quality"

Milko Pete

Well excuse me......... nugget.

Ima-Racing500

Gav....my car was never proved as i aint competitive and i have NEVER said i was.....the thing is BIG BHP Cossie boys "talk" a good performance Dont say you gonna enter when in reality you know on the day you WONT...Atleast Martin H never said he'd be there!

IMO the Skyline has it all plus it can be taken to 1000 plus BHP reliably!...As said it will never be proved..as i cannot afford to break it....LOL.

I aint hating on the Cossie boys but leave totb alone...there never be a match in my honest opinion.

Uncle Henry

Seen as it was way after the finish line of the handling track it was pretty funny.

although fairplay to anyone giving it enough stick to actually stuff it.

they were pillaging bits off another scooby to repair it and carry on running though!

TIFF

DaveEscos

4 cossies! what a steaming pile of dog turd!

well done to the guys that entered

TIFF

What did happen to the reserves???????????????

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

Dont think there was any?

Taken off the list in the Totb thread

Jamz

I thought someone was lined up to take SPADGE's place at least ?

Fastmaul

4 Cossies that's it?? Well, it's better than no cossie.
How many of the powerful Jap cars do more than just TOTB?? or are some of them worked on all year for this one show?
IMA of course always has the worst opinion or saying..he broke the cossie, cause Japs the way forward, don't know which way forward your planing on going but if it's the same as the cossie, looks like you won't be getting to far

Brasso

Was quite a good day out, shit there bein no beer tent or was there??

Felt a bit like a jap show find it hard to get proper interested when theres not many fords.

Some rapid cars there though, who won overall??

Think the TOTB novelty has worn off for me now.

Fair play to Paul Ripleys old fester cus it was puttin awesome times for what it is.

Respec to the fords that did run tho, jus gettin em off the line seems one of the hardest parts!

Ima-Racing500

Fastmaul...well the Cossie heart lives on as the engine is sold

Aslong,as like my Cossie,the Skyline enables me to go to the shops occasionally..then fine...oh and my RST S1

Kev.H

RC Developmnets car is a fucking weapon

I love those Ruf Pokers 2

Top day we left abit early next years has to be the cossies year

CRD Supra is mega quick

AlexF

guys you can only dis other people efforts if you yourself competed!

other wise shut the fuck up

Rocket ronnie won overall again i think. that wrc scooby was awsome

ADUSR33

can anyone confirm ronny won again?

righthooker

no the red rk skyline won the final,my fave was the cossie powered MK1 escort ,dont know his best time but saw one of 12.6

plynchy

Just got back meself,turned out to be a scorcher. First time i've been and got to say that cossies haven't got a chance against some of the supras and skylines on show today. Fucking awesome machines! I'm afraid we're getting too old,but respect to those who tried
Now the amount of money generated there today(Ł20 on the gate ) surely the organisers could have got a couple of grandstands sorted out,and a few bins wouldn't have gone amiss! There must have been 4-5000 peeps there,HUGE amount of ticket fees!
Other than that cracking day!

Uncle Henry

speaking of rapid cars - anyone see that golf?

5 cylinder turbo 4wd - absolute animal it fukkin flew up that strip

Zetec Andy

this golf?

Ian2wdsaffcos

Agreed!

I think the best qtr mile from the Ford boys was Lee (TIB) at a VERY respectable 11.78 considering he was having to short shift due to a missfire that couldn't be cured on the day. Well done Lee You can see it's not easy launching T4 equipped cars!

Uncle Henry

Thats the beast...my jaw literally hit the floor everytime he unleashed it!!

Ima-Racing500

Just for Alex and Ian..Cosworths are shite and Jap is best...sorry...FACT..ROFL

If people managed NOT to cry off then maybe they get respect...obviously BIG UP the guys that entered BUT many didnt..WHY???Cause a years prep aint enuff???OR they realise that its no point...make your own mind up.

Why get so annoyed? Its only a car..LOL....YOU NEED PUSSY

CHRISNISS

Jason gant, ivory Pulsar got 11.09@117mph thats good going for a 5k car

Stavros

that pulsar was the bollocks

Dan B

Well, that was a great weekend, was kept nice and busy today right at the top of the handling circuit......plenty of people sliding it a little wide, or just spinning out completely (thanks to the CRD Supra for knocking one cone over, and then deciding to donut around it for a "laugh", right in front of where we were parked ). Although, for the second year running, the seemingly-blind head-marshall starting cars off when the track was clear AGAIN missed the fact that my lights were on full-beam pointing straight at him (ie. don't send any more cars on track - not enough walkie-talkies to share around to all the marshalls), which nearly ended up with a few lads on the next section to ours getting ploughed through by a Rover - and we had to make a hasty retreat floored in reverse aswell)!

Unofficial word from the gate says it was over 6,000...

And that was before he removed the passenger seat and let the tyre-pressure down a bit more!
