Quote(s) of the day................

"You seen that smart car? - nope couldn't catch the bloody thing"

"Pretty obvious now why they call you fast eddy"

I didn't get any quote from the driver of the Yellow Evo III - I really wanted one............

Jet car crash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWu8OuHTJ6c

Don't know what was going on here, I'm guessing the engine got stuck at full throttle, could have been very serious.

I popped along to this on Sunday. I have to say I was very disappointed.

Yes, weather put a lot of people off going

Event definitely has lots of potential going forward, agree that the weather certainly didn't help. Hopefully it'll get more trade stands and show cars once established.

I agree plenty of potential - I was more interested in the older car content - lots of EVO's going bang bang on the gear shifts chucking flames on the overun and soot out everywhere else is not really my cup of tea but it was supposed to have a bit of a retro content and I like older cars.

So confession I've really never been a "Ford Guy" but having spent some time in Garage 2 I really wanted to get some pictures of this

what's hiding in there



2400cc V8



So nicely finished and detail work every where you look







More like that would be great IMO

First part of my photos can be found Here for a track sessions slide show 240 pics

I didn't do many static shots of cars parked up and I was mainly concentrating on improving my panning technique and playing with camera settings so some are a bit "odd"

Photos taken from pit lane wall (yes I know - shhhhhh) Approach to Murrays and onto main straight

Some ones I was pleased with as a taster

Fast Eddy out in front and that's where he stayed till he started lapping cars!!!



Warning Diversity (not the bloody dance troop) but car diversity

Lada at speed



Metro on 10 inches (BMW DOHC motorcycle head, cam belts and throttle bodies)



Several minis all going the right direction some doing ker-chish noises



Cheeky slide (GR8 4 drifting) RB25 with a exhaust driven hoover



look behind you



when photographing larger cars less zoom is better



Brick Volvo stripped out drift car - (cos hux could)



Not sure who was overtaking who - the metro had the edge I reckon



Tidy - very tidy and more my cup of tea



Luego Viento V8 (hope I've spelt both right)



I'll chuck up a link to the time attack cars when I get chance they were mainly taken on the big long corner before murrays that I always forget what it's damn name is - don't tell me I'll only forget it again - I'll remember eventually

Here is a link all about that Mk1 escort http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17390... the body's were made across the road from the track, in that little industrial estate.

Good to see the rain didn't stop play - too much.

Cheers, Whatty
