Hello Noblers,

Gauntlet throwing ain't my style, and being decisively trounced by Mr Adrian in his mad machine last year, I know my place!!

But, Let's start a bit of banter for this year's FT event.

Can you boys play?

Here's a stick in the mud:

Looking forward to see your tools, and revealing the 'new batch' of Ultimas

Lucky

Hey Lucky.

Good to hear from you. Must check Pistonheads.tv to see what you and the good lady have been up to (another unfortunate turn of phrase).

If I'm in the country I'll be there.

ETS and if I still have the car

Hi Pete

That's one event that I'm really looking forward to! It gives me plenty of time to get the car sorted! I might even be running full boost by then. That should give me over 700BHP and god knows how much torque. It's already pulling more than 700lbs. Just hope I can get some traction. Let's hope we get plenty of Ults to race against our Noble cousins.

Regards Dave

Think you may do the viper over the 1/4 but he will out strip you over the mile.

The Cerb maybe close (he is not running normal power maybe its a 4.2).

The last one I look fraward to similar power similar cars but I think the Ultima may have it over the longer distance.

Not sure about Twerlie's 2nd race (250bhp Cobra) doesn't look like a good match or does it only weight 100kg .

I think he probably won't be the quickest over a 1/4 mile as this is no drag stip its just an airfield. I assume its front engine rear wheel drive? so traction will be an issue like it was for the TVR boys last year!

But I will see for myself on Sundy

Not one Fezer coming its mainly modded cars this time!
