Default * ROLLING ROAD SHOOTOUT *

Due to peer pressure, I am thinking about organizing a Rolling Road Shootout at Power Engineering in maybe Early 2006, like January or February.

The price per car depends on how many cars go. Powers expect to get through as many as 40 cars on a Saturday, if we get 40 cars the price is only £30 inc VAT, as opposed to a normal £45 + VAT. Power Engineering have 2 rolling roads for those that don't know, a 2wd and a 4x4 Rolling Road.

Details of Powers can be found here: http://www.powerengineering.co.uk/acatalog/aboutus.htm

Like I said, this is just an idea at the moment, but if enough people are interested I will carry it through and sort out the finer details. If you are interested please say, and what rough date would be good for you. Powers don't have anything booked as yet for around that time so we can pretty much go on any Saturday. Please bear in mind though that the Bedford RSOC Day is on Saturday 25th Feb.


Short list of potentials


Me - 300+ bhp S2,
AndyRST - 1900 S2,
Damo V - Monte Escos

nice to see a lot of people are interested especially some so far away!!
a lot of people think Power Engineering are no longer interested in Fords because they see a lot of Jap cars there aswell, there is a lot of Jap cars on the road these days & we have to cater for them to survive & push onwards as a buisness, but that dosn't mean that Fords are no longer of interest, we still see a lot of RS Turbos, cosworths & also a growing number of Focus's.
