Post by: Diamond Hell on 22 September 2009, 20:16: Great footage - lots of people being fiercely competitive whilst being incredibly careful not to trash their cars - proper budget racing. Really want to get into it, just don't have the cash just yet!

Post by: Horney on 22 September 2009, 20:26: I see my old car (Kev Glover No 12) was a DNF, hope the car and Kev are OK.

Post by: Pike on 23 September 2009, 09:05: I think Kev's car is ok. From what I understand the rad moved after a light bump on the front end, caused a short and cut the power.

Two classes - 8V and (guess what) 16V.

Stock motors, but with a 'control' camshaft/s and control tyres, so yes, it's all about the drivers. I'd do terribly :grin:

Post by: Horney on 22 November 2009, 19:14: Think we should sort out a full on Forum outing to one round next year. It's a brilliant day of motorsport as the other series in 750mc are good as well.
