Hi Shakespeare here. I just want to say thank you to your club's membership for supporting the Ford Day at Shakespeare County. It certainly looked as though you were all enjoying yourselves last Sunday. Congrats to all the trophy winners. Here's the main results with the top 5 placings. See you guys next year. Power Torque Racing Ford Day Results @ Shakespeare County Raceway Quickest Front Wheel Drive 1. FWD5T Nick Drake (2003 Ford Focus RS) 13.492/106.85 2. FWD7A A Whitlock (ASW Ford Focus) 13.590/112.40 3. FWD5A S. Collins (Ford Escort RST) 13.995/100.92 4. FWD8T P. Reeves (Ford Fiesta XR2) 13.997/101.99 5. FWD1A Rob Corless (2002 Ford Focus RS) 14.079/100.29 Quickest Rear Wheel Drive 1. RWD4T Jeff Thurston ('66 Ford Mustang Notchback) 9.783/138.21 2. RWD2T Barry Payne (Ford Escort MK1) 11.124/120.72 3. RWD14A J. Manaders (Ford) 11.306/123.06 4. RWD1A N. Tedbury (Ford) 11.570/119.70 5. RWD3T Jason Elvy/Jason Elvy Jnr (Ford Escort MK2) 11.905/112.45 Quickest Four Wheel Drive 1. 4WD1A Stephen Whitlock (Ford Escort Cosworth) 14.540/96.85 2. 4WD1T Alan Bradshaw (Ford Sierra 4x4) 17.329/77.29 NB: For the second time in succession Nick Drake has taken the coveted Front Wheel Drive category win with a 13.492 to last years time of 13.725. Looks like Nick has been tinkering under the bonnet in the last 12 months and his efforts had paid off.

Stands can be arranged and they're free, any size for any amount of cars. Also I would love to see one or even two oval track Classic Hot Rods on the strip. Wouldn't that make a cool photo!

Just had it confirmed that Power Torque Racing over in nearby Coventry will be sponsoring Sunday's class trophies next weekend; FWD, RWD & 4WD thanks to Brian Lee. You might be going home with a nice trophy and some Ford goodies! They'll be some pukka Ford motivated drag cars too for demo runs. Liz Malcolm will be their with her Just 4 Fun Pinto powered Pro ET dragster along with the UK Fastest Taxi Express courtesy of Chivers Taxis and John Atkinson's mad 160 mph Mk1 Estate 'tina. More news as and when it comes. Anyone else going from here apart from Kev?

If anyone wants a club stand then give Jerry a call at the raceway office on 01789 720180 or e-mail: enquiries@shakespearecountyraceway.co.uk.
