Can you please add My car to this list For the Qualifiers please.
RWD Sapphire. Power will be added when proved - Target 900+ bhp.
Thanks Rod

 

only 900 Rod?

 

well done rod .very glad you are going to take part in the ford team

 

good lad rod it will be great to see you running mate personally i dont think you need to qualify we know your car does the talking mate

i would be glad to be in the same team if i make it at the qualifiers

Marco
You are the type of person that makes Cossies an Icon, If we qualify I would be proud to be in the same team as you, as you know I have great respect for what you acheive on a limited budget.
Rod

 

Rod,
When (notice I don't say "if") you qualify, will you then be willing to be in the "team"?

 

would maybe be up for entering my car too......budget is a major factor for me tho...


would need to sort a trailor etc etc

 

Mike,

I'm hoping we will have every thing ironed out reliability wise so count me in

 

My circumstances have changed Mike although I cant say how at this mo.
I need permission from my Bank Manager (budget agreed for 2007) from the Missus ( Shes agreed which surprised me) & Mark .
Mark genuinely dont like this event & considers my car un-suitable, tends to lean towards the EVO boys at such an event & is there for Keith as well, so im down the pecking order, but I will work on it. .
Rod

ps. Please Dont give me stick if Mark is otherwise tied up for this event,
I drive my car on the street, but not in competition , its 15 years too late for me. Ive driven at 200mph & will give my son the chance to do the same (not too many have done that) & thats where my ambitions stop im afraid.

 

Rod,
You know how much I respect your achievements, so no worries. Will put all three of you down, as the 2wd boys need to be shown some fast cars .

 

Mike,

where's it being held this year? Brunters have quite a low sound limit now.

 

I'm looking forward to TOTB this year

 

Hi Mike


for the rest of us ,are we having a venue for qualifing or do we just go to the pod something like that

cheers marco

 

Hi mike.
The guy in the mk2 wasent interested, sorry

but if you will have me, then put me up

Escort cosworth 4wd 550+bhp Ronnie Lyngholm

 

Same place as usual - Elvington near York.

Get some qualifying times down and then we can see how you compare to the UK boys .

At the moment the list is just for qualifying and you won't need to come to the UK to do that (unless you WANT to) .

 

Mike i think Ade means the qualifiers, please dont say Brunters because all the Big horse cars will fail, even Vmax cant be held there now & thats for road cars.
If you have told us this already remember im senile .
Rod

 

We'll probably have to go to Woodbridge for the qualifying, as I had hear about the low noise limits imposed at Brunters last year - 89dB is pretty much precluding anything with a T4 or bigger .

 

Brunters should have thier noise restrictions reduced by then hopefully...

Traction aint perticually good at woodbridge

 

Cossiemanden can you ask owner of this car to come te totb??
It's got 750+ Hp schould be proper fast has run low 10's before.

What about the blue gabat escort from germany it's got 700 hp and has run 10's on the dragstrip
With these cars and the other car whe schould have a kick ass team.
Tib good luck whit breaking the 10 seconds barrier on the strip this year.

 

Have tryed to contact him, but without luck.
Will try to get in touch with him in the week, and yes, it has run an 10,21 last year as best.
Could be fun with a few of the fastest scandinavian cossies to totb

 

It will be the same for everyone Lee so dont really matter.

 

is it worth having a qualifiying?

what i mean is can we just not decide on previous times?

will there be "that" many cars we havent seen before wanting to enter?

how many cars would we enter ?

 

I know what your saying but its always nice to think there could be a chance of some personal bests being set....


Lee

 

im sure that wont be a problem for you lee

 

The noise limits imposed on Brunters will be the final decider.

And Euen, you haven't got any standing quarter times for your car .

 

plenty of interest this year......let's hope it doesn't fade nearer the time

how many horseeees do you think you'd need to do an 11sec pass in 2wd?

 

looks great for this year

lets hope most of the promised ones make it

 

thats cos i dont want to break anything

should have some thing by then mike...

 

Mike: u have pm regarding the sweedish escos

 

Does a t34 and greys cut it now days

 

Not BHP, grip.

400bhp would be enough if 99% of cossies didnt run on 205 wide tyres, standard viscous rear diff, and about about 25degrees of negative camber when thew squat.

 

Very true though

although i've just swapped my 245's for set of 215 yoko paradas which are very very good in the dry.

got 420bhp at the mo,and will have over 450bhp in the not too distant future.......tbh i'll be over the moon with a mid 12 as it is

it doesn't sit too low and the rear is 'fairly' firm so hopefully it won't squat tooooo much,oh and i have an ATB so that should help a little bit too...

 

I did a 12.64 @ 115mph with 385bhp (on T34 0.48 a/r and 4 x 803s), that was with the standard 90,000 mile rear diff at the time as well .

 

well in that case 11's here i come

i'm gonna go to Pod on 21st i reckon anyway,and i'm gonna use it in anger

 

i thought only uk cars could enter
please correct me if im wrong

 

You're wrong, what about the Icelandic Scooby ?

 

That stays in the uk.
And the owners are from iceland.

 

dont think it does

 

It goes back and forth, as it competes in Icelandic drag racing as well as far as I was aware .

 

is martoon in the jap catergory too considering he is part jap
