Had a quality day, got a load of pics but im working just now so will put them up later.
Roger Clark Scooby was my car of the day, awesome machine. Sitech S2 and Lloyds S2, both done a great job, aswell as the Granada and Lee Cattermoles 3dr
. Not to forget the Hedley motorsport MK1, great fun watching that on the handling

Road legal is a loose term.
Road legal, non tube/space frame cars, no tubbed cars etc.....
Now...that green Mini was very very nice.....but there was a distinct lack of Mini about it, and lots of space frame.
IMO, cars should retain most, if not all of the original monocoque or chassis, with perhaps some minor trimming here or there. Either for powertrain fitment, or cages etc.
The new Hauser built Skevo that Norris will drive with its rotated engine/box is going a tad far for the roadiness idea.
Lots of road car racing classes require all original chassis legs etc and bulkheads to remain intact ??
Either way, great day, but f'ing hot !!!!!!!!

I was stopped (b class) from running a vauxhall viva that does 10,000+ miles a year because it had tubbed arches and told it would be in D class, so I was very surprised to see a mid engined mini in B class too TBH mate
Im sure Chris M will post his reasoning for it though, he's normally a very pleasantly transparent kind of fellow with this stuff

not complaining mate,you cant do much about the weather lol.
but its a big difference being on your own as to being part of a big team.
ie you join a que on your own .and you have to keep stopping and restarting your car to move forward. in a team 3 or 4 peeps help push you to the line,= less heat soak.
somebody to spray a fire ex onto the intercooler before you run. ect ect ect.
i need a bigger intercooler,and water injection.and a race fuel map.![tiff](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/punchballs.gif)

Your first run was real good and your others were good too, just not as good

Are you the guy with the LS engined granada then? Love that car!!! Whats your intake base plate about? looks like one for a carb that you've adapted. any more info on why you've done it that way? My friend and I were discussing that for some time. Whats your power output? ect...
Cheers

Carb based intakes also look good ( IMO ) and are relatively cheap. Some say they help power, others dont. Id actually be in that latter train of thought from my own findings, but I still prefer how it looks.
And now Im running 2inj per cylinder.....the original plastic intake would be very difficult to achieve that.
So basically, its more cosmetic reasons than anything. Dont know about power....and not really that bothered.
I know what it made on a Dynapack back in January, with missfires....
But seeing as every dyno reads different, I really dont see the numbers as meaning very much.
That said.....I may try and get to a DD sometime this year.

The only thing about the whole event that I don't feel is right are the prizes.
A mate of mine won Ł100 @ Santa Pod for being the fastest rwd car and it was only Ł15 to get in that day.
Considering its Ł100 min to enter better sponsors and prizes should maybe be considered ?

cash prizes arent the way forward in many peoples opinion for a road car event which attracts in the main people with their own cars and not pro drivers. 70-80% of the cars their are not tuner cars, and are built/driven by the owner. any prizes offered are what the sponsors put forward, maybe there could be some discussion on that tho.
the mini was a little more chassis modified that i was first made aware of, having discussed it with the builders etc, i think that car would probably have to run in pro-drag class in future as it didnt appear to have much mini in there. very nice build tho and people liked it, no one objected on the day but i think if it had gone better (first time out) we may have had some competitor complaints which would have been justified i guess. other than that tho i'm not aware of any car issues or tyre complaints this year
the maj of competitors turned up with tyres to the rules etc.
a certain rwd kit car owner
did fail testing as he turned up on completely illegal road tyres with no tread left but was sorted when he fitted a new pair

Did not make it to the event speckys tigra did well according to a couple of mates, 11 second quarter at 130+ is mad for a fwd, i went in that car when it were 50 bhp down on what it is now and its stupidly quick in a straight line, not much cop on corners tho.

Those tyres had tonnes of tread left
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Yep those new tyres did get fitted and then caused the knightmare that was a broken diff!!! Drove to Scunthorpe and then a 6am start to fix it!!!!
Had a good day. Not sure what was different about the organisation but the queues seemed much smaller than usual and the 2 cars on track handling worked well.
Ever since Duncan blew the socks of everyone at Rockingham a couple of years back they have not been allowed.

Was pleased with my results from sunday.. esp the 163.1 top speed as i ran OFF gas for that on std road tyres and didnt get grip till about 80mph so was only crossing the qtr line at 114mph on that run,
Was also pleased with the qtr time considering i've bent my beam slightly so the back wheels aren't quite straight
and couldnt get under 2 sec 60ft.
No idea what my handling time was? only had std falken road tyres for that too as the r888's blistered and werent safe, had fun sliding half the course and not doing a sighting lap i had no idea where i was going lol, still had a laugh though.

To me almost all the class A/B/C cars are perfectly road useable, if quite hardcore.
The RCM car totally rinsed everyone and id say thats a totally useable road car, for example.
