Would be good to see what power you all run
is crail still a go tomorrow,av managed tae get the day off , 5,s still sorn but not been tae crail in a couple ae years so was lookn forward tae it
sorry i never posted here earlier ,no way i was going to crail the day , the weather is terrible , its snowing where i am ,and will only be worse at crail
aye my car is still in bits so i didnt go.
i didnt go either ...my cars not running and i was supposed to have a job interview ... weathers terrible here aswell
Yeah woke up and there was a snowstorm outside, no way I was leaving the house!
i ws working but was looking forward to pics
shame about the weather it was well horrendous this morning
a went lol , there was know snow at crail but the way there was pretty bad and was realy cold standing at the strip with some sleet,wee parked the car so wee got a good view lol there was actully a good show off cars but it was alot ov civics and starlits, the only french car that was puting up a good fight was a little white 106 rally car and after a good few runs it had tae bee picked up at the end ov the 1/4 but dont know what went wrong. as always the bikes were there with nos but a thought it wis a bit too windy for them tae go on the strip but they went for it lol , well hopfully wee have a bit beter weather when the rr day is a go and al try tae get some money put away for insurence lol
would this event be of interest to any of you guys ?

maybe we could get a club stand if there was enough interest ?
im on the case for a rr day , ive been thinking about hypertech in falkirk maybe end of april / may , would need a min of 10 cars though .
At the moment i'm working on that date , but was thinking about going to the pod on the 29th May, so i might tie them in together. I've not been to the pod before nor have i been to a rtoc meet south of the border. Unlimited blasts up the strip for 50 notes is good value for money aswell , so long as the old warhorse can take it.

10th post woohoo
Have an idea for a meet. I will be competing in the opening round of the Guyson Scottish Sprint Championship which takes place at Kames motrosport complex on the 12th of April. Should be a good display of race cars on show with it being the first event on the calender. Here is a link below for all that are interested.

I def come watch that. It should be near me, Im in North Ayrshire.
Doubt my 5 will be on the road by then but Ill come for a day out.
Should be good.
bump
Dont think ill be able to make this Rus Soz m8
ive been moved onto the shutdown at work ,it starts on Monday means im working 6 x12hr shifts pw untill the end of may , not ideal for me i hate working overtime but im really needing the extra cash at moment not had overtime since last november .
Car still has alot of jobs needing done before i attempt a track/drag day but nothing that stops me taking it out for a few hours play time, im just falling out of love with it at the moment,it just wants to sook cash that i aint got , and i know if i keep taking it out im going lose my license or break it been thinking of selling up alot , i just dont know how you put a price on it
For those interested here is the entry list of competitors for Sunday.

as said before id be more up for ava tunning rr day ...as my car aint exactly reliable to get it to crail
me and the mighty barrs irn bru are up for a r/r day. just name the time and place and we shall attend. although his engine died at motherwell on the way home from nat day. managed the whole trip including track but the feckin throttle return spring snapped on track and the high revvin buggered somthing.( thought he was drivin a type r) got a spare engine though. as you do so should MAKE IT whenever its arranged.
crail on the 6th may be a possibility aswell.
My cars done to many miles on the rollers at ava id really like to try Duncan @ Hypertech in BonnyBridge , i have a few m8s that know Duncan pretty well so it wont be a problem getting this sorted ill find out some provisional dates then post back up here
ill be looking to do try to get it sorted this month sometime be nice to get some more feedback from others , would any of the north england guys attend ? what about you south west scotland guys always the same peeps posting here wheres all the other scottish members ???
Be nice to see some Official support for a scottish meet just showing an interest would be nice
Ultimate Scottish Street Car is on at Crail this coming Sunday , weather forecast is good although it is a long way until the weekend. My gearbox and driveshafts are on their way out, but should last the day
