Didnt get many pics as spent most my time either fixing my car or waiting to get on the track. Was the first time I had my nova since the xe to turbo conversion on the track and had a great day after some early problems
Some videos here (hope this works)... http://www.bebo.com/FlashBoxHistory.jsp?MemberId=881566063

Nice to see a nova driver with some decent driving skills.
Those cones would piss me off ~ the organisers think "none of you understand lines, so were gonna force everyone to take this one"
what tyres are they? look like either dunlops or the new federal 595's
knockhills mental! Havent been up there for a while but you get some classic photo ops at the 3 main corners (2 by stands and one at bottom of the hill) - see a few novas in prangs - the fiestas pumping out a bit of smoke!

yeah the turbo was on its way out but he had a spare with him although a crank seal leak ruined his day as it was causing the clutch to slip. Its a fwd fiesta cosworth btw

It was good although wasnt holding enough boost due to running a standard old turbo but now its smoking im gonna get a hybrid.
Its got phase 2 chips, cossy -31 actuator, lightened flywheel and just the normal things like exhaust and induction kit, cant think of anything else. Running a 6sp box with quaife atb

they're there for the drivers own benefit, less offs = less stopages = more track time. and in theory, less cars on roofs/tyre walls.
look at the red evo video, thats why the cones are there, some people don't know racelines, seen that coming a mile off.
PS, where the evo spins, thats where the red nova in this board rolled, although by the looks of the pics, the nova continued to the right of the circuit, infact, those are probably his tyre marks you can see!:cry:
cool vids, car goes round well mate.:thumb: ever come up against the lads with the red nova turbo? it goes well too!

yeah the red nova was sitting to the right of where the evo spun, i have been on with him before but that was when i was running a redtop, got a video of him in front of me somewhere but can tell the difference up the straight, he just pulled away
