I assume as we are now at the situation where no more qualifying can be run that the ford FWD team is now finalised?

What cars and times are going to be there?

The vauxhall team final entrant list is:

Non Turbos:
Corsa, 11.8 @ 121
Nova, 12.6 @ 116

Turbos:
Corsa, 12.3 @ 125 *
Astra, 12.6 @ 121 *
Corsa, 12.6 @ 118
Corsa, 12.7 @ 117 *#
Tigra, 12.8 @ 116 *#


* = time set without nitrous
*# = intending to be nitrous'd on the day



Well, assuming they are all still in one piece by then

 

11 second corsa.. nice! on gas I assume?

any links to the FWD Vauxhalls chippa

 

Yeah, XE + Gas, last years winner of he FWD drag final, the purple one that you have no doubt seen anyway


Ive not got a link to pics or specs online im afraid mate, as some are very last minute, in fact the tigra only qualified a couple of hours ago!

(I set the qualifying time at 12.9 as I didnt want any 13 second cars in the team, there is just no point)

The non turbo nova is only really going for the handling though, he isnt interested in top speed or quarters particuarly

And the Tigra hopefully will be good for the top speed as he has 100bhp more to come from most boost and 100bhp more to come from nitrous too before the event, so if that all goes to plan he should certainly be quicker than anyone was last year but obviously we dont know what the other teams are going to pull out of the bag this year yet so it might get trounced by some of the fiats etc!

 

Have edited it to include which were gassed and which will be.

 

Ah yeah, I know Cheers

 

Surprised Marc aint jumped in on this one.

I'll be up for 2008 if the xr2 is finished.

 

The number of "i will be running in year X if its finished and I expect it to do Y" from the ford lads that fails to deliver probably outnumbers ALL the other teams put together

The vauxhall lads dont seem to be very good at the "empty promises" and "if its finished" classes for the event, the ford lads rule those two classes without dispute, the vauxhall lads only do well in the other three far less important (from a forum bullshitter point of view) classes of:
Handling
Quarter
Top Speed

 

Blimy Chip I'll get my head out the lions mouth now shall I

 

As someone who DOES want the ford team to do well at events like this Im just trying to take the piss so people prove me wrong mate, there really should be competitive fords there!

 

ford lads seam to interested in building cars to look good in sigs instead of actualy performing

 

I agree, we have to sort something out!

 

Your car looks great in your sig BTW mate
But isnt on the list for TOTB this year





























(still, 5th in class for both quarter and topspeed in 2005 makes up for it I guess!)

 

Fords are shit.

 

Acutally - we not that shit...

Two 1.6 CVH cars - ie Tims and Marc's can mach all the turbo times - and they were on proper road not even cut slicks tyres

Tims was on a part map, and Marcs - well i think there's lots to come from that
