Paul,

You just beat me to posting this! Really interesting show. Saw our very own Mr Felstead get it both right and wrong on the handling circuit. I wonder if he took the cone home with him!

What amazed me about Rocket Ronnie was seeing him fly down the straight time after time, at seriously quick speeds, with just a baseball hat on! Quick car though, and undoubtably robust, given the punishment it took all day. And he was going to drive home to Essex in it too. Excellent.

The Norris Evo liked the odd diff for lunch, methinks. The blue and orange Escort Cosworth that won the handling circuit was something else. Exceptional handling. I've been looking for the rails it was on ever since.

All old news of course but nice to see it shown, and nice to see enthusiasts enjoy their cars.

Did anyone notice how small the crowd was in 2002? It was a bit different in 2004 and a lot more cars taking part aswell, if it continues to grow at this rate they will need to make it a two day event. Definately going again this year!

The lack of crowd was the first thing I remarked to the wife.

2004 was jam-packed and was a great event. I'll be at this years' without a doubt.

Good luck to all those who are going to enter.

Chris T.O.T.B, nice to go to a racing event where you can chat to the owners and the teams and get really close to the on track action. Hope you can keep it this way. Paul

Rocket Ronnie won overall for the third time running but he lost to Ron Kidell in his R32 skyline in the shootout final. Cars to look out for this year;
Halldor and Gulli Jonssen's 2003 impreza STI, 518 bhp last year,
Andy Forrests' STI,
Clive Seddons' RC developments Evo,
Sean Proudlocks Seehaven motorsport Evo,
the CRD Supra, the 1st car to clock over 200 mph on the 1.25 mile strip from a standing start.
And loads more!
