Toby Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 I have a feeling this season going to be a good one! There's some ace Crossflows out. James Harris - big cc and light. (I think) Joe Little - Small (to start with) and Light (I think) There's a Maroon Mk1 Escort with a Big Crossflow Nicks Mk1 Cortina - Big Crossflow Will they run into the 11's? What's going on in the Pinto world? How are the Elvy's and the Harris Powered cars going to do? Can Andy get nearer the 10's? Tony's LeMan Green Big stroker is one to look out for..... A Certain WPE Anglia may hit the asphalt - well stranger things have happened! Will Dave Colledge run in the 9's? What's KJ been up to? More Boost, More Gas? What's Driver up to? More Boost? Into the 10's this season I recon! And there's more..... Who are you looking out for and what times are you hoping for and can you confirm any rumours?
GT_lenny Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 i'm deffo gonna give it a go as soon as the tina's done i'll be happy with completing a 1/4 without anything falling of or catching fire seriously what times should i expect - standard 2.0 zetec in a mk2 cortina (full trim)
Toby Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 i'll be happy with completing a 1/4 without anything falling of or catching fire This is a good aim - Don't know how realistic it is seriously what times should i expect - standard 2.0 zetec in a mk2 cortina (full trim) You should be pleased with a low 15 in my opinion and you should be in the 14's with a bit of time spent tinkering. I think Dave Colledge's orange estate ran low 14's from memory. Looking forward to seeing it already!
Toby Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 I know I've forgotten loads... Billy Smith Mk2 Ed Mk1 Gaz Posse ....to name a few! What are your plans? Don't be shy!
DEP Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 What's Driver up to? More Boost? Into the 10's this season I recon Not much, i m afraid Toby, I ve been out of work for 4 weeks now, and with no money coming in, I ve not touched the car at all, I did have plans, but they ve all gone by the way I ll be lucky to do much racing this season

The beauty of insurance claims! I sympathise mate, but it could be a season for watching, after all I think there will be some good stuff to watch
