Mike,

Also, dont overlook peeps like Paul Bailey for next years event. I am sure he can be persuaded to join the team. Or have you already asked him?

As you know his car is "old school" spec: T4 with 8 injectors but at only 1040 kilos. I know that TOTB is not a track event but I once asked Paul what type of cars get past him on the track....and he answered that he has NEVER been overtaken by any car on a track day!

RS500 T4 aye, teeny, but theres turbos still named "T4" that can push 700+ and "T4 based" turbos capable of 4figure bhps...

So no running say, a HKS T4Z as Mike wont let you in the team, 700bhp or not

its better to have loads of cossies there that arnt 500
exactly ,i would have enjoyed watching 10 good spec cossies having a go than 4 top cars ,I personaly only went allong to see the cossies perform and got fed up of watching scoobys ,evos and fucking loud corvetts
there was more fun walking round the car park sure a few of the cossies there would have jumped at a chance to join in at a month or so notice

If you only into cossies, why bother going to an event like TOTB? Esp if theres say 10 (or 5) also-rans getting caned, if you only wana see fords youdve seen a lot more at somewhere like ford fair, and none will be getting shown up by ropey FWD hondas either.

why bother going to an event like TOTB?
because it was only 45mins from where i live, and wanted to show my support ,the general talk all year sounded promissing and so i got tickets.The RST team was poor ,the cossie team was lacking in numbers but there was a couple of good cars around like a Mk1 escort with a cossie lump doing 12.6 qtrs,and the transit .
after this years event your right may do somthing else next time
