Us northern lads have the same issues with shows in the south but the convoy / ride up adds to the fun of the day . If thrashes like this are so rare these days I'd of thought everyone would have wanted to be there

I totally agree as lads like Sinbad put serious miles on their cossies going all over the UK and are a credit to the ford scene and we all hope this event does happen and is a success so it can become a annual event

SBT83

Well with all our planning, hopefully, it will generate a decent amount of interest for the future. I have to say interest for this event is unbelievable. It's different to the usual track days, and therefore gives that niche market of fans an opportunity as well as regulars

Rod-Tarry

I may just attend this & take the Missus away for a few days. I wont be entering any car im trying to give them up & the SLK is simply not fast enough to enter im afraid.

SBT83

It's a fun day for all. Everyone loves to see an old Mini annihilate a GTR

We're bringing fords to people's attention, and hopefully we can surprise a few people's expectations along the way

Bit too far for me im afraid but at least the chaps up that end of country should enjoy it, hope it all comes together for you and if 1-pd and sinbad are helping you should be sorted

SBT83

Cheers mate
Yeah I have to agree! Their the best blokes in the business.

I've learned so much in a short span of time from these two guys alone.
And the comments and feedback I've received, is immense!

So thanks to everyone!

Due to the distance I would be looking at making a weekend off it, so I can arrange a trailor ect, to far to drive and enter in the same car

If we can get all the big boys involved then a lot of people will be willing to attend just to see their cars running

Another idea could be zetec turbo class, could make an interesting feature for a magazine ?

There's loads of us on here building them with all sorts of different specs?

Could have class's like this instead
Cvh powered/Zvh
Cosworth powered
2.5 duratec turbo ( focus rs/ st ect)
New skool (fiesta st ect )
Old skool
Zetec turbo class including mk1 frs?

Mix it up from the norm and make it interesting

There's a few people with big power cvh's that maybe would have a bash together and same with zetec turbo

And I bet some people of turbosport would fill the old skool and cosworth powered class?

At Ł43 it's a cheap day compaired too most, every time someone says about one of these days it's like Ł100-150 then plus travel, fuel, time, so ends up being to much but yours sounds a good day for little money

SBT83

Cheers mate! And good idea

I think it's a reasonable price, I wouldn't want anyone spending more than that tbh. Especially when people are traveling, considering fuel etc etc.

I bet my 2.0 Auto Sierra Ghia with a blowing exhaust is faster than Rod's top speed cossie tonight..

(I say tonight as its an auto - and nobody knows if they will continue to run in the morning that and I know rods car is missing half its engine )

Rod-Tarry

So true my old girl is safely wrapped up without an engine although we are gradually getting the bits together .

SBT83

What's your estimate for completion? I know with your kind of build your forever waiting on parts How long did it take to get your hands on your studs??

Rod-Tarry

Studs were delivered on time so 6 weeks from place of order. The one off dry sump took 7 months. We should have all the parts in the next 6/8 weeks before building the engine can start. Maybe on the Dyno this side of Christmas but im not banking on that.

SBT83

I suppose you always have to expect a spanner in the works somewhere down the line. What's your new goal your aiming for? I know you said you wanted to hold them for 10 years. You can't be far off now?! Basically, what im rambling about is what's next

SBT83

Ok guys and girls, I'm over in York tomorrow morning for the big meeting with Yorkraceway owners. Anyone got any questions for me to get answered post them up and ill take them

There's an event on so if anyone fancies a run up feel free .

Thanks all

Fair play to you for really going for it and making it happen, would love to turn up to an event like this, but you know how things are with me right now, maybe when its been a great success I can attend the 2nd or 3rd running of the event? I wish everyone the best of luck!

We could get the group meetings to announce this at some of the meets, might be people who don't look in here?

STeve
