Bit of a debate going on at the min whether it will be 1 prize for fastest, or split into categories. We discussed it a bit at central meet on Sunday, but nothing fully decided. I heard £500 first prize mentioned though.

Fastest FWD will be a good event. Tim/MK surely on line for a duel.

My twin engine one will be ready with a LOT of luck.

the prize money is still under disscussion,but i would think that 3 catogorys,fwd,rwd,and 4x4. would be ok.rules?well i think it would be best to use totb rules,they seem to work in deciding what is a road legal car,also what tyres you can use.any input from interested people welcome.

Something like the BFG Drag Radials ARE legal as far as I know.

Might have to invest in a set along with a welded diff and another 10psi

Keep to TOTB rules to ensure a fair playijng field but would love to make it only cars that drove there themselves.

Along with it being a 2 day event this is shaping up to be a fantastic show. Been going for the last 3 years anyways and always enjoyed it.

as far as we have been told its just one prize for the fastest road legal ford, i did suggest seperate categories i think that its should be

4x4 forced induction
fwd forced induction
rwd forced induction

4x4 n/a
fwd n/a
rwd n/a

that way it encourages more people to take part cos lets be honest not many people can compete with some of the cars out there that will do 10 seconds quaters

If it is for 1 car fastest overall it will only be between the 4wd and rwd and it will even be no go competition for 99% of them cars as well.

since when has rsoc central day @ pod been a 2day event? or am i thinking of the wrong show

Is that along with the trophy i'll get for "the most changed spec on a restoration project" ???

It would be nice to get a trophy - my "Army Cadet Of The Year" from 1999 is looking a bit lonely
