It would ve good to see a few of the big power boys out, get a feeling we won't see any though. I rekon Hadland, Rod Tarry, Ade Young, Jamie Going and his Q plate etc. Where are you big power fords?

it makes me laugh every year someone post on here how many fords are going to totb , no one wants to enter there cars because they simply aint up to the job apart from a rare few , like haland , harvey gibbs , ag motorsport . i would love to see a few of the fwd boys down there but they never seem to turn up. i think luca would do very well and come in the top 5 as i think we know the winner is already going to be specky unless something goes wrong. plus isnt it on the same weekend as ford fair and to be honest last year it was the first time i didnt go to totb and went to ford fair because everyone went there and it was a better show but i would love to see a few more fords at totb, i think ive only ever seen 2 fords there in one go , ag motorsport and sitec escort

Doesn't TOTB clash with Ford Fair?

I know it has in the past

I don't think there was a single Ford at TOTB last year

I heard he'd dropped 2 valves.

Hopefully he'll get away relatively lightly, be good to see what times it can do on the new engine!

What is in that Escort? Is it a Zetec based engine?

Edit: can't be exhaust and inlet on opposite sides.
