oooh the poor Novas!!!!!
Clean arches.
Meritlover, are you not a fan of original Micras also? Lovely possible Collette also being mistreated in same arena :(
Great motorsport isnt it :D. I'm racing in class 2 this year an all :thumb:
My dad used to compete many many years ago (Class 5). So I spent most of my childhood going to the various events around the country. Great days!

its a great laugh (can be quite competative though) just thought id put a post on to try and get a few more people interested as some will never of heard of it!!! :confused:
It's always been competative ;) Get some piccys up of the cars. Esp the specials they are great. They get smaller and smaller every time I see them.
They were twice the length when I was a kid. These are tiny!

If you spot a mini with the number BS37 let me know :D
The BS37 on page 1980 page 3 isn't him

I also races novas but not autograss tho, was on tarmac, my old nova was mint!, spotless, last owner decided to build it into a stock car! i felt gutted when i saw it for first time...but its being repanelled now :)
I've been getting in to watching Autograss over the last few months, 'Solway' club race about 15 mile from where i live, theres a big meet this weekend which i'll probly wonder across to.
Gonna start competing next year, got an XE'd Nova GTE lined up that i'm gonna race in Class 6 ... very cheap form of motorsport !! £50 a year membership then its about £6 to get in to the event then £3 to sign on and race !!

The only thing I dont get about it is people spend thousands building 300bhp N/A XE's only to wheel spin on some mud. And they are still fwd
Take a look here:
http://www.autograssreview.com/ It's packed with photos and info.
Here's some of me :D

phil theres so many choices what you can do i run whats called a class 2 1300 restricted class (certain mods) but when your talking xe n things like that they put the engine in the back and space frame the car, you get some good close racing at a fraction of the cost of track cars and its gotta beat just doing 1/4 miles :eek: lol
Heres some of my cars ive raced.. :)
Vauxhall 1400SRI Mini beating a 2.1 Pinto'd starlet :D
