Default National Day

Top day, camped out in the car last night on the site grounds so was a bit achey this morn, lol not 2 bad tho! Top day, top weather! Got fuck all pics, the Series 2 Stand was cool and I enjoyed being part of it! Nice to meet a few of you today, Tony Turbo, Rich (Ballin), EssexBoyRacer

OMFG - TT, your car, what can I say, amazing what Damo has done to it, looks superb all round!

Top track action! I enjoyed the parade lap I took part on! Can't wait till next year when I have a propper engine and can get on track!

I must add, Christian, your car sounds awesome!

Awesome day.

@ the A1 Escos. Fookin animal, made the day for me, watchin that beast hang it off the corner of the pit stop evertime, what a legend. The Bailey car was rapid as usual and that had a great little race with the A1 car which looked jus that little bit faster.

Porkies, Broms, Rainbirds n Karls beasts were all flyin too.

The cab even got me there n back without breakin down!

Top day.

Fastest car of the day was steve scott FUCK ME

Then the bailey escort....

The noweigen mk 1 and escos was mint on sat same bout the break in's

Porkies car had to be one of the quickest cars on track for the users on here...

Mike's Escort is mint

Brom's is pretty decent, but he seemed to be having a few issues with bits and bobs, but not bad for a week on the road to be fair.

I never saw karl on track as i was in same session....

I had a play with mike R, cars were pretty even, same as with brom, i could keep with him ok but i was on road tyres where as most were on sllicks...which is why me and mike had a laugh cause we were fucking slidin in syncro on track was fucking ace fun.

Steve, The quickest maddest car there, for me was the A1 Escos. Its a fookin animal and Steve cant half drive the bastid. Someone must have him on vid flyin past the pits.

Porkies, Karls and Broms were very quick aswell didnt look much between any of em from where I was standin, all pull like a train.

The Bailey mk2 was a weapon as allways, but the A1 car seemed that little bit quicker, they had a wicked tear up down the pit straight.

Cool day.

I saw the little race between the A1 Escos and the Bailey car, bloody awesome and the passing move down the main straight pulled over the Bailey car by the A1 car was awesome highlight of the day for me Both cars were awesome and definately to my eye going the quickest Wonder if the Bailey MK2 will get a rebuild and new spec now?


Nut RS, your car was awesome, I was trying to explain to my mate that is 'just' running a N/A 1.6 but he was having none of it awesome mate


Saw Dingys and Mike R have a play in their session, which awesome to watch, I actually though Mike Rs car was going to go pop at one point as it was puffing out some right good blue some on the straight, both two cars were awesome


Porkies, three door looked awesome as well! Sorry to here it got broke into though


I really liked the black 2.1 Zetec black Zetec turbo FRST from TOTB3, that looked bloody quick and looked like it was struggling for tractions awesome


The Blue Norwegien Escort Cosworth, in real life and wow it really is the ultimate shame some some f*cking thieving b*sturd tried to nick it, might have seen it go otherwise awesome car though

The lunch time session was lame WTF I dont wanna drive all that way to see a fucking Ford bullshit cars ie mondeo st220 drive round a track everyone goes to national day to see the Big power Cars dont the RSOC realise this ???? I would of rather seen a lunch time motorsport session including

Pikes Peak RS200
Labatts RS500
Eginburger RS500 shit spelling
The Blue WRC escort
The big power Mk1
Paul Bailey
A1 Rallysport
The Ford GT

Yeah the lunchtime session woz toss, seemed to last for ages. Most folk go to see fast fords get ragged round the circuit not watch a sunday drive of shedloads of RST's go tootlin round. There not exacly a rare sight or owt.

Sad to here the Norwegen WRC Escos got broken into. It is the dogs bollox and deffo one of the best ever.

Ace day, ERST track display was good, gutted I didn't get my car ready in time.
Agree with the above about the lunch time display, who was driving that ST220 my missus drives faster than that to tesco.

This is one mint S2

I have a feeling Ford probably sponsor the event as, was it last year we had a lunch time display of Focus ST170s as good a road car as they are, why?

Though the Transit was cool, but to be honest it should have just been thrown in with the other stuff, rather that doing a Ford add run all day

Really really liked the S1/S2 parade lap, and the race afterwards. Wondered why the Red s2 seemed that much quicker that all the other RSTs having caught them all up including the front running S1, when it didn't seem any faster down the straights, then saw the monster brakes on the front of it

Overall a good day, but the pants security probably cost us seeing the Norwiegen stuff, and probably any hope in the future
