Im making the assumpion that if you are going drag raing you wil have a nitrous kit, cause going drag racing without one is kind of like turning up to play football without any boots.

Of course though the true answer is something is only cheating if there is a rule against it, and at TOTB nitrous is legal, so it NOT cheating.

Porkie, if you want to compete in the quarter and top speed then you should run gas, if you want to just focus on the handling circuit then gas wont be of any value to you really.
Up to you mate, im sure you will do the cossie boys proud either way, but obviously you arent going to be competitive if the people you are racing have bottled throttle and you dont.

I am only going to try to beat a few of the lower spec scoobs and Evos and show that hopefully there is life in the old cossies yet and more importantly have some FUN
I have just commited to spend another 2k on uprating the tranmission futher so hopefully it will be strong enough now!
I'm just not a fan of NOS, I don't think its cheating and I know how good it is BUT if I wanna play football in bare feet then I will
Hopefully Rod will come and have a go as well.... I would LOVE to see him do 200mph and give some Cossie owners something to smile about
This is SERIOUSLY going to affect Martin, Sean and the rest of the gangs drinking and mucking about on the day and the night before though!!! DOH

i think the rs scene has the same problem in a lot of areas,its the same with the concourse, people dont bother entering even though they have stunning cars just because they know they cant win as there are unbeatable cars showing thats had truckloads spent on em, i think its gonna be the death of the concours scene tbh ,and i think the same principal applies here tbh, i know that the japs are becoming unbeatable in their skylines etc but people shouldnt not compete just because they cant win, its all about enjoying yourself and taking part after all , something that has been forgotton about when it comes to things like this imo, i would much rather watch 10 cozzies not beat the skylines but still show thier stuff than watch zero cozzies just because they cant do a 10 sec 1/4, i mean its all gone so fuckin serious, ffs its not like you even win anything , no money or nowt, this type of event should be for the people into fast cars regardless of wether they can win or not, i think the term applicable is ELITEIST!

Have just read this entire thread and can only make out that not much has really been acheived by it and Rod's head gets bigger every time I fuckin log on!
Mark did the 200mph+ run and not him anyway!
Who gives a fuck about 'my cars faster than yours' bullshit, if you want to use your car and get a few proven times on a good day out then fair play, and good luck to ANYONE who enters on behalf of the Cosworth Team!

Know where your coming from dan,if i had a car with those capabilities i would be looking for every excuse to show what it can do .regardles of the competition.But he has a buget like most people and if he cant afford the breakages then thats that,he will do what he deems right
I have a mate with a cock the size of the QE2 ,but it dont get much use ,i told him its like owning a ferrari but having no licence .
get my point

Not a dig at all Rod so forgive me for asking but how come you don't pilot your own car on all the speed test runs that you do? I know from reading PF that you drove it too 198mph or something so fookin respect for that, but how come Mark does most of the runs?
Cool vids by the way, cheers
Cos hes 3mph Faster than me mate plain & simple.
At a recent Topspeed run Mark was also 3mph faster than MADAde.
Mark can, Most cant. Its Hairy stopping from 198.5mph , lose it & you are through the end at these speeds you are doing 100metres a sec. Didnt stop shaking for some time .
The next time you get up to 198.5mph , Think about having to stop in 300metres.
Righthooker, I refer to my previous post!
But yeah I get what you mean exactly mate! Nuff Said.

This just another example of why I have no desire to represent you guys at an event like TOTB. Im 60 years of age , I cant drive as I could 25 years ago, how fast is your dad mate.
I will achieve 200mph later this year im sure , but will always be slower than Mark, Was on medication on the 198 run & if my Doctor had Known I would have been in real trouble. Have had major surgury mate , lucky to be here so find out the facts before you judge me.
Big-headed , no, just totally self confident in achieving what I set out to do, that applies to every aspect of my life.
You can knock me personally all you like, but when I leave my times will still be their & my aim before I retire in September is to push the RWD records to a level that will cause you youngsters a few problems in years to come.
The Skyline , EVO Teams care which car is the fastest believe me & its why they win.

Fucking totb is a top day out even if the skylines do seem to win all the time, but like has been previosly mentioned the evos dont do bad as a team because they hammer the handling circuit and i bet most the evos that do well on handling dont have more than 400brake so it shouldnt be about all out power because i think ford will struggle to get an individual winner but could still do really well as a team and hopefully have a laff doing it

Rod, dont let comments like that put you off coming mate, at the end of the day with any high profile person within a scene there will always be lovers and haters, and you must know that by now anyway, so someone trying to have a dig shouldnt make any difference to you.
Cant really believe that anyone would be enough of a twat to take the piss out of you for being unable to really live life on the edge with the last minute breaking required when its due to your health, i just hope ive got HALF your guts when im your age mate
Porkie, fair play, it will be cool to have a "real" motor there not just nitrous ones, as although it will make you less competitive it will show what the YB is capable of in the right hands without needing chemical assistance, after all we're all good in bed on viagra but only some of us are when we're not on it

fastest RWD was Nadine in her Viper I think mate.
My car has NO chance of taking that honour because my car is 4wd.
I don't think I will have a chance in that class either but will be a laff whatever

COOOOOL Man.
Pork Chop if your car makes it to TOTB, you know it will be the bollox and you know you can peddle it!!!
Mind you the fact that at the last 3 TOTB days, you only got up at about 2pm. This is something that we need to work on for this year!!!
I just have to remember when Dan kicks me out of the Windebago so that the strippers can get changed, to not actually walk outside naked as I was still half a sleep and totally pissed!!

Top Paragraph
Its really starting to bug me if im honest and it must Piss Rod right off
Regardless of the fact he can do what he likes with his own fooking car, he has still personally done 198+mph FFS, more than 99% of us will ever do, so how can any of you possibly take the fooking piss?....
