Tune up the handbrake & lob a pair of disposable tyres on the rear! every one's a winner

also tape or screw the button on your hand brake to make it a fly off

How would you go about organising such a thing? because i'd love to abuse mine in a controlled enviroment

There is more to life than a straight line after all

Maccy D's car park doesn't really cut it. We might have to have a think on this one, it's not something the BARC get involved in, & I doubt my local club would want to organise it as its mainly a rally M/C.

 

We'd need the involvement of a club for insurance, marshals & possibly medics, but I think you can get St Johns for a bag of chips & a kitkat.

I wonder if we could piggy back off an OSFDC event at the Pod.

Word of warning about the dog track car park at MK, find out if it's still covered with gravel - stones chips ahoy.

 

Just found this, man I hope the cappa is handy, this guy is awesome!

Farnborough DC is my local crew, the guys that run it are stage rally boys though and through. Autotests look like a laugh but not my main interest.

 

BARC south is going to be my main stay for sprints/hillclimbs, & I'm having a look at the European drift championship for next year. I can't do anything until my car is finished other than guest drives with the TR register...

[escortmad79]

I used to do grassroots auto testing in my gold mk2 Ghia, Minis always win but it's good fun

[john_3.0s]

he's a bit handy! dont fancy that roll bar doing much though!

 

i have done grass auto tests in mk1/2 escorts and my diesel mondeo.

 

best tip i can give u is to let the tyres down to about 10 psi on the back and take some tape to stick the map to your dash else you will get lost (sounds stupid but when your in a sea of cones heading backwards its easily done!)
