awesome day

rain held off, much better than i thought it would be.

probably because the weather scared off 30-40 of the people which meant track ques, were minimum.

didnt seem as many trade stands as previous years and hardly any breakers what so ever!

not as good as previous years i thought but worth it for the track action as usual the reyland cars were awesome and that red ABC escos was fucking flying!!

ABC Escort was fast in a straight line - deffo very fast. Way too loud really, but noise test is only static, so the drive by din maker's usually get away with it! Screamer pipe I guess?

Looked ace too.

However I overtook it on a couple of occasions, so not so much of a corner car...

Was good to put a few more faces to names too!

really enjoyed it

track action was good, the BMW was faultless (with oil) and there were some very quick cars out on track, i was amongst the slowest and i wasn't driving miss daisy missed out on my charity ride as i was too busy rejoining the Que all the time, but there'll be other times

good to see everyone again

i had a good day, i went with the UKFORDOC lot.

i have never been to a track based ford show other than ford fair and i gotta say the track action was 100 times better today then at ford fair. the chase's between the red and black evo's were good and after seeing it on track the reyland 3 door is by far my favourite car now!

the drifting was also good, nice to to see mk2's out there as well!

great cars, great people, great show i will be going again!

Glad you liked

Next time you see us come and say hi and jump in the passenger seat of one of them and see it first hand

Top day today as usual, almost got bored of going round so much! Great amounts of smooth running track time.

Muchas respect to Ian Pullen and all the team for organising yet another ace Combe RSOC day

See you all at National Day@ Donington - that's our next track outing as far as I know!
