Rotorstock - Jap Show with 1/4 mile & Drifting

[mr2mk1chick]

Journey back on the Monday was interesting, the four wheel skid heading towards the back of the Ferrari Enzo was a particuarly vivid turtle moment.

I could just hear me trying to explain that one to the insurance company!

close shave then?!
we had to be soo careful in the rain - was surprised at how much water could be put down in so little time.

Shame the rain cut short the day. Also this prevented us using the club pitch set aside for us, as the ruts in the grass were too scary to drive on. I guess we would have to be towed off.

The MK1 club mead a bit of a club stand in the main pits area, but none of the IMOC mk2's joined us

Its was cool to see Stuarts MK1.5 making fast times down the strip (13.7? can't remember....) but bl**dy fast - should give the tubbies a run for their money.

The tango didn't run as an exhaust bolt had fallen off , but maybe next time...

Not too close. Stopped about 2.5 feet from the Enzo's bumper.
But I wanted more room for error, if I got it wrong then my insurance premium next year would be about the same cost as the Enzo!

Many screams from the pasenger?

Jo, Stu's best I think was a 13.5. That was the one where he was just pipped by the RX7.

Was an OK Weekend - nothing near as good as I anticipated.

Big thanks to the huge group from the West Mids (Stu & Family???). You guys made us feel extremely welcome =D> No mention of High-vis and aeroplanes

Tiamat, glad you got back OK and glad you didn't get closer to the Ferrari.

Unfortunately it couldn't be said for all who went to Rotorstock
Picked this up off another forum:

Must be so gutting

hi guys glad you all had a great weekend hope to see you all again soon

the fastest time i did was 13.48 @ 103.2mph

not bad for a mk1

a few more tweeks and we hope to break the 12's soon

[[SiG]]

DAMN shame for that Rex, but as long as they got out ok then it's only a car...

(I'll try to remember that if/when mine gets totalled!!)

=D> =D> =D> well done mate
makes us all tempted to go the 1.5 route, i'm sure
I'm just glad to finally see what one of the conversion cars can do.

shame rotorstock was not as good as last year, but you don't know unless you go there.
I'm just a bit gutted i could'nt take either of my cars down the strip for various niggles

[Tiamat]

Also want to add my thanks to Stu and entourage for their hospitality.

Looking forward to hearing how you'll top the high-vis hi-jinx!

[IanClements]

Stu, that RX-7 had to have nitrous, he didn't get started til halfway up the strip and then wen't off like a rocket - so you know what your next tweek should be!

the 3s-gte engine is superb as long as the engine you get is a good one,but our car is superb to drive with loads of low down torque.i say go for it!!it would finish off your car very well

as fo rotorstock i was a little gutted about a few things,lack of timing boards,late start on monday,slippy track on sunday,lack of first aid (i.e. eye wash)bad road surface around track ,run off and pit area.

but we all had a great weekend and we will be back to try and break the 12's

i have a few videos:

Not a bad idea nitrous,but it will have to wait until the new turbo has been paid for lol,also we are putting the car on a diet
