If you look at the results of some of the laggers in the pro class, there's not much in it with the top boys out of club class tbh, Kev Horsley has put in some silly times in the Subaru, again good driver i guess cus i'm sure his car is only around 550bhp isn't it Chip??
Im including spending 200K on buying/maintaining/modifiying/developing/repearing a car over a 4 season period, so its half that sum of 100K a year effectively
That's not the point we're making Chip is it?? i've said above if you read i can understand it from a RESULTS point of view, BUT understand where Mike is coming from about driving your own car you've thrown many hours and money into, EVEN if you're not the best driver out there..
I see what you're saying too..
From what I can gather about Simon Norris is that he is in effect a hobbiest gone wrong, building fast cars was his hobby, and now people pay him to do such, but he still tries to keep his roots and drive his own car
Rc developments have always been a business first, fun second.
IIRC Norris was doing daft power engines before TA was thought of.
I know andrew spends a hell of alot racing the season never mind the ford days ect he does.Fuel,repair,tyres,fuel for the van ect...List goes on.Ł100k is very possible

Pretty much what l have been told by people that know him fairly well,
Mike
as for the comment about crashing FUCK OFF tit it's called racing if you are referring to the Combe incident, in which Simon offered to help repair, which is not the norm in racing unless l am wrong
The car is Awesome!
cant believe people didnt realise it was that quick.. IMO its the 0-150 time that is most crazy, some cars get to 60 as quick as ND but very few keep going to 150 like that...
930 bhp and will probably do 200 in a mile or not much more?? as its doing 160 in 1/4 of a mile just stupid!
i beleve it has a new engine too with more power too
