Cool!
what are the rules? i always get confused.
is it "non contact" can you nudge?

i can tell straight off its not too bad by the "its only done 1 season" and theres not a 1" thick plate over the drivers door my dad and uncle were into banger and grasstrack for years.

it breaks my heart when you see the rod's as mk1 cortinas, mk1 escorts etc, they always say "it was too rotten to put on the road" but then spend weeks welding and prepping them for racing

Same cars mate but in hot fords only fords,rookie rods any car with 1600 engine.

You have to start in rookies with white roof then yellow think blue then red,so when you get to the red roof you can move up to hot fords,just on points that determine the colour of your roof.....so hopefully il be into hot fords in a year or two if it goes well



You will have to come and watch mate.....
