Craigs Mk2 with 550 bhp would be something
Is craigs car RWD?

Andy thinks one of the low pressure pumps failed.

Yeah RWD.. Its good fun as it stands at the moment.. But all of would
like to see it with some more grunt. We reckon we can get an engine
the will give us 550 and should be safe.. Here's hoping

It was funny though, andy went past MW like he was stand still.. And
bless its a new colour scheme aswell..

We maybe bringing the car to Knockhill in Dec for a Charity Event that
Graham Wait organises we have been trying to do it for the last few years
and never seem to get up there

If yous manage it up i will attend due to work & other goings on i cant manage to go to all the saloons with andy n chris

550 bhp should be reliable if built right cossies have run that for years
Stewarts car has been bomb proof (slight crack in the block mind you)

I will let you know if we manage the charity event. Be good to come
up your way. I have heard that a Escort MK2 round Knockhill would
suit it totally.

I think the Engine will be fine at 550bhp will be fine, We have a dog box
on order. Just got to make sure all the other items are fine.

Between Jems and Our Resident Mapper i think we will be good for 550
just hope stu / andy / chris stay with us next year

Why is it not true? Steve's qualifying times were much faster by over a full second yesterday, Dono 1½ secs faster and just under a second at Croix.... so as I said..... we'll see

He's only completed 2 rounds... one he won very comfortably

All banter aside.... Stewart is a brilliant driver, he proved that yesterday and I would have loved to see him and Steve having a head to head. Wish I was going to Cadwell to watch the next rounds. Anglesey is also a no-no as it's the same weekend as Nat Day. Oulton will be the next one I can go and watch, that will be the big test for all of them as that's a very technical track to drive. IMO it will favour the lower bhp cars.

The same could be said for all the drivers. At whichever rounds they have not had problems at they have won comfortably. They are all fantastic drivers.... You cant pick one superior one from the 4...

steve gets on fine with all three scotts! as do i and i dont think any of them need all this "he is better then u crap" ie( he is faster then you are)

sorry if it was miss read by some

At the end of the Day all Drivers out there are good doesn't matter what
class they are entered in they all have good racing. From Steve / Andy /
Stewart / Chris to Craig / Tim Watson / Luggi / Kerry Michael.. They all
bring different qualities.

I was in Croix and watched Steve and Stewart battle really hard and the
racing was superb. When all 4 are on chat, they are gonna be something
to watch I personally am looking forward to seeing them at Cadwell and
Anglesey. These 2 Tracks are good tracks. And aslong as there is good
racing .. The winner is the person who can get to the end and take the
chequered flag..

One day.. Craig will get there... Ahead of MW

Hi Redkop, I have read your post regarding Oulton Park.

It favours the high power cars, not the lower powered, trust me.

What did I start!

I've never met Steve, so theres no favouritism through mates etc....
Perhaps comfortably wasnt the best word but IMO if all the cars were 100% reliable then Steve Scott would be a clear winner. Not so much in the final placings/points but when you take into account lap times etc.... I personally think he's the quickest overall in the competition.

I think its been awesome since the scottish boys arrived on the scene cus before Steve Scott only really had Wise as competiiton at the top. Not knocking them at all, it wouldnt be the same without em. The four cars and drivers are excellent and are very close indeed. I've loved every round I've been to.

It's a good job you lot on here aren't racing this year, cos if you can race as good a race as you talk Steve, Stu, Chris, Andy etc... would have no chance!!

The end of the day the person who is gonna win the overall chapionship is gonna be driving a Fiesta from either Class C or E!!

Morning Debaters....

Looking at the latest points Stu has a nice little lead over Graham Field but wait til we get to Brands then it will be ready for who can win the title.

This post was meant to be how the Race Drivers got on at Mallory not a slag off between 2 people who have different views on how Scottie drivers and how the scottish boys drive. All 4 drivers have different qualities to the ciruit. They are the ones that were sitting in the cars when it was 85F and prob more like 100F in the cars for 20 mins not us and they are the race drivers not US.. A good debate is good and gentle banter but if the
drivers see this sometimes it can make a bad atmosphere between people and we dont want that

Racer.... About time you came back out for a debute.. Oulton Park King!!
Look forward to seeing you at OP

It was a great race to watch shame so many had to retire through the day think the heat was to much.

Steve is a great driver just shame his car often suffers from mechanical failure hopefully jay / greg will have it sorted soon but with that amount of power it will have problems.

Rob wells did a blinding drive in class C and not sure who drives the Orange Fiesta but he was on a mission not far behind.

I think all the drivers out their are great as i have seen first had how much it costs to race especialy if you have no sponsors as it is hard to find people

So well done to everyone who raced gave me and my mates some great viewing from the hair pin.
