good day out today .....but.... i am burnt to f*ck and i mean seriously burnt

 

Fantastic day ,was a very good turnout ,love the picture of lukes one above,glad i put the old suncream on as im not burnt at all

 

thats bloody awsome

 

awesome day out.weather perfect,car turnout amazing apart from muppets dropping shit down the track i think it was about 6 times.

that white st turbo mate sounded amazing going up the m1.i was driving the ratty looking white xr2i turbo

 

Me and my mate had a great time. Bit shabby about the strip action stopping but a top day We're also burnt to fuck!!

 

lloks a good day, i would have been down if i wasent offshore

 

i thought id just add my face is burnt ouch

 

Had a good day ran a 13.06 @110 in the standard EVO 9



YUM was faster

 

WENNYS TAXI ( THE PINK ONE ) sheared 2nd on the 1st launch , had a spare box brought down but whan that box had been rebuilt the transfer box had been put in the wrong way round , afther the 17th attempt this was realised and by then it was too late ,

the autoflock crew with raj ,rick and gary (craqzycage ) were flying all weekend , as was stu collins even with clutch and throttle issues lol

some blindin times set by all , super hot aswell , the blue mk 2 fex was a stonker

 

luke had a small issue with the rear brakes, in the fact that they wereprety much locked on, still managed a 12.9 though i think with the brake lights on!!

I was camped right next to the wenny crew, it is true they are all mental, they ordered a replacement gearbox which arrived about midnight, fair play the began to swap them over and finish in the morning but I think the box they received just would fit, proper shame. Met Mr beef as well, top geezer

Simon's car actually moved the engine from its mounting on the first run :-( totally gutted for the crew but this car will be putting in some serious time this year thats for sure.

Got a chance to drive crazycage's car as well this weekend, in all honesty I couldnt wait to give him the keys back, the speed of it scared the living crtap out of me, especially when he took me out with him driving.

Met a load of new people/friends and had a great day, cheers everyone.

 

Was a great day, good to meet a few people off here, good bbq grub(ta Chris), my fav run of the day was watching the mk2 escort absolutly kick the arse of the Audi RS4 Avant like he was standing still

Ps, Beef my little Ben said he would of arm wrestled you for his burger if it came to it lol.

Steve

 

steve honestly what a cracker he is , he must be fearless !!

just to let folk in on the story , steves son ben id guess arounf the age of 4-5-6 came up to me whit a freshly made burger waving it in me face says " the burgers are ready !!!"

when i said he best watch i dont take it off him , he didnt bat an eyelid , just gave me a look up n down like " just you try it fatboy "

pmsl was brill , got a chuckle out of him when i put me fists up lol ,

beef

 

Good weekend, nicely tanned lol.

Yesterday didn't start well with Gary's car - mid 13's at 108mph. Some how the ECU was on a running in map. Changed the map, and it was onto 118 terminal, but still in the 13's. The gearbox is taking one run, and then pretty much locking out of gear making changes slow and difficult.

First run of the day today was a 12.8 at 122 then later 123. Not bad for a GT28 on just 20psi. There is plenty more power in it, but the box needs looking at first as it's costing way too much time.

Well done to Luke, Stu Collins and the crew with the Mk2 and Puma - awesome to have so many Fords in the 12's

Rick

 

I thought Stuarts car was epic, proper raw and looked like it was there to do a job, which it did. So pissed I couldnt get a lid as he was willing to let me be a passenger on one of the runs, next time hopefully.

Bring on classic ford day

 

which lad were you then mate,i never had chance to meet to many people with messing on with the saph, was a good weekend all the same and were to mad lol

 

Raj was the one with funny hair

 

Had a great day, got loads of pics to go through but they'll have to wait, up at 5 and away for 3 nights anyway, these were my 2 favourite cars, mini was cool as and the NMS sunbeam breaking traction more than half way up the strip gave away what its packing!!

The funny car was great to see, little one loved it. Best thing was there was a rather large bloke sat in front of us and when the afterburner pops started the first one made him jump and he broke the chair!!! and his wife made him squat there so as not to miss the car going up the strip!!!
More pics to follow.

 

thats me, was in the black evo.

Had a brief conversation in the pisser sat night.lol

 

I see u were on cruches are u ok. I was hopeing to see your coz go up the strip.

 

if there had been a proper meet up with name tags and stuff i think we would have all got along like a house on fire

but i met enough different bods to say 2oh, i've met him now, and him and even fiddy" who was nothng like i expected him to be

damn i mised kosman though

 

heres some vids i got from my on board camera, only managed 3 runs as the rear diff let go half way up the strip on the 3rd run (nearly shit my pants) but still had a cracking day

I was standing in front of you when you took this Matt!! Thats my brother in laws arm. You left not long after. You car looking good as usual mate

 

Best time was 12.9 and best ET was 120 mph.

Few things need sorting but it runs

BIG WELL DONE TO THE BLUE MK2


Awesome picture mate many thanks

Had a few issues during the day, finished building the car at 9.30am yesterday and then arrived at Pod at half 12 to see how it went.

Rear brakes decided to stay on though due to dodgy master cylinder on pedal box, tried to crack the rear lines off and drop some fluid then bias all to the front but didnt work. Went for a final run and managed a 12.9 @118 with the brakes binding. Backed off over the line and didnt even to apply the brakes to slow to come off

All in all though the car was a gem.


Good to meet you today mate, have to pop up the video when you get time. I want to see how it looks even with the rear disco lights on

 

Had a good day, was good to catch up with a few people and the weather was good to us!

 

good to see u n dave and thanks for the advice on track days
and good to see a few of you lot but all in all not enough hrs in the day

 

Yeah just a broken foot mate. Gutted! I wanted to take it but don't think I'd of performed well lol

 

Yes it's Alex, me and Clarke went up with him car is very quikc on the road. 3 degrees of camber and shitty Toyo tyres didnt help, he was pulling 2.2 60fts which isn't great. Car was dyno'd at 330bhp @ 20 psi.

Head work then 400 is the plan.

 

There was a white Mk3 with white wheels running low 12s but that was cossy powered.

There was another white Mk3 (FWD) that ran 13s I think.

 

Was a belter!

Met the usuals and had a nice catch up, met some new people and the mighty bum-raper kosman lol

i see the pic of the bints....i got bum prints on my bonnet now, live the dream.

 

pleased i finally managed to do a 12.7 @122 after all the problems i had sat and then again on sunday . big thanks to every1 who helped bodge it together .and gave me bits on sat so i could get 2 runs in , then did a few runs again on sunday even tho still had a air leak some where . 60ft still shit at 2.35 but new diff on the way should sort that

 

Rapid mate! Keep on with the graft Stu!

 

Good time mate, we all need to improve the 60fts

Didnt realise it was you when collecting timing slips at end of day.
Good to see you getting the times you deserve

Bring on Classic Ford show
