TOTB is not Max Poo tho is it ?
that is correct, but no deal dan said it was better than going to a max poo show, so i was just saying i dont go to them.

Chip,

why is it weird? i like competition, and if i know x car is easily going to beat y car, then there is no competition.

Well all the people who "knew" that the crappy little corsa was going to get its arse handed to it by every "awesome jap motor" last year were pretty surprised.

But you seem to be missing the fact that its split into some very hotly contested classes with genuine competition.

I have literally got NO idea at all who is going to win the FWD class this year for example!

Its not going to be a Ford

i just have no interest in spectating at the event at this current moment in time.

plus that you pay your Ł15 to Ł20 to get in, and cant see fuck all cos you've got all the knob heads in the pit lane and there isnt enough stand space

SapphymMike- Seeing as there is a MASSIVE selection of amazing cars, I couldnt even pick a secection of 10 that were bound to be the fastest in any one class, and im sure I know more about a majority of these cars than most folk, I dont understand your argument.

Fair enough if you just not too interested in going to this event, but blaming it on the cars that is going is madness, the cars that are going, the incredible selection and quality, is the ONLY reason worth going IMO.

You will have great difficulty finding somewhere to stay now. Very few camping sites are available because of previous 'antics' for TOTB

Obviously the burger issue won't improve, but I sat in a stand most of the time last year, and this has improved more and more each year .

Funny how people slate it for one particular year and then think that because of the probs on the year they attended that things don't improve and stay the same .

The hotel is booked near the Dyno for Monday 16th /Tuesday 17th so engine should be in car by 20th its getting tight but still possible. The car is fully wired & ready to except the engine with the exception of new Discs & Wheel/Tyre combo. Spare Shafts, New Clutch, 18" Wheels & new Tyres should arrive this week. A company will arrive to fit the new decals tomorrow they wanted to use the car as a base for a work of art but I turned it down, making my car look like a tarts bedroom was not what I wanted even if it was free. .
If we fail it wont be because we have not tried.

ps. Just noticed my Sierras IS now an RS500, i WISH.

Redline TOTB 6- news- The ultimate head-to-head

As a special treat we have organised the first ever (maybe their one and only?) head to head drag race between Keith Cowie's RB Motorsport R32 GTR and Tim Websters Duke R33 GTR at Redline TOTB6 on the 29th July @ Elvington airfield.

This should happen at around 1pm on the day, with a direct drag race between the pair of 8s pro-drag cars.

Tim and Keith are both up for it and have kindly agreed to take to the centre stage at that time.

It's also feasible they will rematch again later in the day during the pro drag class finals at 4pm, but regardless of qualifying times this heads up should be great.
