any new's on how the ford's have done

 

anyone?

 

Perhaps another TOTB style effort?

 

Warren did very well and made the final!!!!! And he drove the car home we will get some pics up tomorow

 

 

hi mate, i think there was 4 fords there, one white escort that went out in the morning practice, the reylands cars were there but martins escort went out in the first run in the afternoon, his car did not look like it had the pace as the other cars out there, the reylands sierra lasted all day and looked like it did quite good, also the blue escort off here looked like it did well in its class, did not get no times unfortunately

 

ah....glad all went well.

well done Warren.

 

The white escort K555BHP did a water pump,Martoooooons escort had a problem with the crank,it broke the end but luckily the engine is ok as the pulley was still on,Reyland 3 dr went very well,Warren made the final and finished 9th if i can remember!!!

 

Kev Atkins won the Club class running 1.2sec faster than the nearest club car and won the club championship in his Evo 6.

Well Done to Kev

 

Big well done to Kev and Mark

Its a gorgous E6

 

Anybody know how Steve Fitz did

CheeRS

 

Reyland are not goin well..first Chimp 3dr posting the getting whooped clip.....now having engine probs...may i suggest goin to MAD?

 

Thats the first time ive seen the new Reyland car and in all fairness it did look like it could do the business (first session looked quick) obviously it had problems gutted hope they get it fixed and take it to the really big budget cars Porkies 3 door is awesome but it almost looked kinda out of its league cant beleive I say that cos its not exactly slow is it

Roger Clarks Scooby gets so much traction out the corners loads of really fast machines yellow Rc evo was awesome fast as was zen scooby as was I on the way home until the other half gave me a serious ear full

Why wasnt Simon Norris there

awesome day for 12 squid

 

Congrats to Kev, nice to see a MAD car do well for a change

There appears to be some serious machinery at these events, also curious why Simon was not there in his Evo, who won the Pro class ?

Mike

 

I only went to see the Ford boys do there thing But the Japs boys were all over it, the RC EVO'S were Mad The Reyland 3 door didnt let out a puf of smoke all day and just kept on goin, the Blue Escos Was Best looking Escos ive ever seen..


We need more Cossies out there there was a black Scooby that finished 6th i think and he only had 450bhp, nothing like the other cars, IE 600-700+ bhp most cossies are running that as standard these days.

 

I forgot to add Warrens car is lovely looked great on track sounded good too

 

Lots of time/money/effort/grief to do TA, as you can imagine, so gave it a miss this time and is concentrating on the next evolution if the car, which will be very cool

 

Any pic's of this cossie

 

no shit its a mission just getting my ass outta bed on a sunday to spectate OMG next evolution

 

See my photos in the pictures & videos section

 

Was going to report on Kevs win perhaps I should read the replies .

 

yes was a good day


well done warren


some very impressive cars out, proper big budgets

 

lovely car.

 

what you have to remember is how old the chassis design is compared to the jap stuff.

 

It is totally out of its league!! Its a tiny budget old shed compared with the other pro cars and is in wrong class!!! and Its certainly the only Pro car I know that DRIVES on the road to and from events but it driven to the events and ran ok, not broken and Renton has enjoyed himself in it and thats the main thing

It should be in club class really with the spec but the organisers just whacked it in pro. Pros get alot more track time so Renton didn't moan!

Going to work on a few things over the winter and car will be back a little faster hopefully

Massive well done to Warren for doing so well and also Kev Atkins for ROMPING home in club class

 

I don't agree actually. Its just budget, commitment of time and driver skill.

Much as I think the geezer is a class A cock, if someone concentrated on Time Attack the way Rod concentrates on Top speed stuff, a Cossie COULD be built thats VERY VERY competitive with the top boys.

You also need a Top driver.... I am hoping Tommy Field sticks some big power in the yellow car and does the event next year. Top car and I hear the biy can peddle a bit as well. Nice fella too

If Martin develops his car, Andy Gallacher gets let in (which he will) and Tommy competes and I convince Scotty to run his new car you WILL see a Cossie win at least one round of Time attack I am 1000% sure!

 

Simon Norris has retired the bogie from all further 2007 events as per his posts on MLR.

Well done to all the Fordies esp Warren

 

I am loving Si Norris new plans

 

He didnt detail his plans on the thread I saw Porkie...just said that he is fed up breaking stuff, mostly transmisson and was taking it off the road to sort the probs.

What do you know?

 

I think the Fords will struggle next year due to a few things next year 800hp at least will be needed, A lot of Airo work will be needed, and a big budget to keep the cars running,
It would be great to see a good Ford up there but I think it will be hard work,
I think even the club class will be very difficult and I think you should be looking at the tuner speeds this year and the club will be very close.

Was the Mad evo a grey/silver one with mad on the side , was it testing at Brands last saturday ?

 

I thought it was Friday but it could have been Sat so yes

Mark

 

It was Saturday , i was there running a nasty old nissan in the same session as the evo , seemed quick enough in a straight line for a road car .

 

It was on pump fuel so 560hp.

Mark

 

now you just need yours and chalie shaws and thats a awesome line up

sod the rest of the field, i would pay just to watch you chaps all have a play

 

Lee, don't be suprised to see Tommy out at some point next year (complete with more than 450bhp LOL)... he's itching to get out and compete again - and yes, he can certainly drive

Well done to all the Fords for having a go! Gutted for Martin but it could have been a hell of a lot worse by the look of it...

If they let Andrew Gallacher compete they'd have a Ford that would be up there I'm sure as it's built properly and Andy is bloody useful behind the wheel as well...

 

Just Checked MST , 52.9 isn;'t a bad time , the Scooby in pro doing 49's mustve been a quick car !!
The Nissan was only 280hp and on 4 year old tyres , they seemed matched for 6 or so laps , old and new together always looks fun .

 

The Subaru was awsome ,
Lots of work will be going in to the Evo Suspension over the winter learnt a lot this year on it and some substantail changes to the rest of the car also.

Mark

 

i know it would be his home track but andrew as quicker times in his old escort at knockhill than the pros were running this year.and im sure his focus is quicker than the escort.sure hes does a 52odd and pro class were 55 something.so the fordies may do ok
