Default Who's up for a RST thrash

just been thinking... dangerous I know

As the nice weather is arriving etc, we need some sort of event..

Few average RST's, few modified slightly, and a few weapons

Was thinking possibly Magazine at Brunters as it always makes good reading etc seeing the figures.

I appreciate that timing gear etc doesnt come cheap and I for one wouldnt mind paying abit towards the cost

So, not an event to see who has the quickest RST, but wouldnt be a bad thing... just a group thrash..

Any Mag be up for it, or has it died of death and been done too many times now?

thanks

I was thinking.. dont want all madly modified ones... a few of each. Be interesting to see what mods make what difference etc!

I know its been done, but no harm again with a few more different cars

Kev- sorry mate, im still lost for words

Would love to see a thrash like this even thou I won't have a RS to thrash
Get Performance Ford to do it, last time I went with fast Ford they almost killed us by timing us two thirds of the way down the track and you had to drive between two cones about 20ft apart!

To be honest I was thinking about June/July time... but this is probably too soon I guess

Would 100% require magazine back-up + it would make a good feature IMO

Sure we'd appreciate either Fast Ford (as I think Fudgeass and Itsmeagain work there ) or Performance Ford

Lewis

thats all well and good mate, but you and I both know, that only the proper modified ERST's need apply for TOTB..

but, perhaps a joint event thingy.. few midly tuned ones as well

Preferbly held down south too..

When was you thinking for Lewis

if u remember was 6ft at first and we had to make an issue out of it ffs

ive been to thrashes by both mags, performance ford should do it
would be great if they can get 2 sets of timming equipment if they can afford it!

Andy Kamenou will be up for this similar spec to Oli 1.9cvh

dont even go there Lewis.. did someone say.. your old car... and AVA rollers

Santa Pod would be OK'ish.. but would prefer top speed to also, 0-100 runs maybe

Think Brunters would HAVE to be the venue to be honest, but most interest seems from the lads (& Lou) from darrnnn south..

Where's brunters roughly?

I for one hope this doesnt turn into a thrash for all the weapons, and will put off ppl with standard or mildly modified rst's
