Obviously, I will do my utmost to ensure the safety of all those on the track around me (including my passengers).

Justin,
If you look, we don't have to worry about DC, AG or CS, as they aren't in our group, so we will (hopefully) look like the fastest thing since a scouser going to the PO on benefits day .

You, Little Martin and me will have our own tussle, while Harvey laps us every 7 laps .

I'm not sure if that is from my reputation here, or my reputation at Bedford .

Either way, as long as it results in a swift indication and a move over, I'm the winner .

Dono is so strict on noise now its un true....

i can run about 24psi before i get kicked off.....

steve cant be bothered any more after all if you ask him why hes not on the ford sallon car champion ship anymore he will tell you he'd had enough of the race organisers asking him to slow down to give everone else a chance

now if we are all honest with our selfs no one and i mean no one can match that man in his escort on track

Agree this in reality is a bit wrong, not as bad as putting an inexperienced driver out in the expert class tho lol

BUT my main reason for commenting is Mike has said he would rather go in expert, but was too late. NOW if there wasnt so many Evos, Scoobys and think I even see a Seat in the list, then maybe there would be enough spaces for FORDS in the right groups. It IS ND aint it, surely they could restrict NON Ford cars to a turn up and IF there spaces you can run type policy.

Shame if Steve not going , as said one of the better drivers out there, and sure he could "throw summit together" and still show most a clean pair of heels

I think you will find that the timing at Ford Fair is hardly accurate , but his car is very quick.

Check out Harvey's Datron verified times - would be good to see all the top guys on track together - Martin, Harvey, Steve, Paul, Gareth, Charlie etc

Unfortunately all the track spaces are sold, so phoning Steve tomorrow will be of little use .
