Well I got a 19 with 2 gears and 3 cylinders

fekin head gasket and quick(shit) shift

11 studs needed!

Indeed well done to Turbo Tim, to quote the man himself shortly before the winning run, "More boost needed!", obviously did the trick!

Also well done to Nic in 2nd place and Matt in 3rd!

A 13.2 is an awsome time, so some new faces on the podium!

The D class gets quicker everyear!

I'll be back!..

JF.

13.2 !!! Blimey thats quick !!! Congratulations !

16V project underway

Well done to all those that made it there i think.

Big well done to tim.

i think tim was D4 i was D2

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

yes well done to tim nic and mat.

tims time was supurb nics car just amaze me for the boost he is running.

well my day was crap with a series of shit starts and got it together on the last run with a 15.3 and a 92 mph.

nice to see some faces in ian, wolfie,t dave jimster and vergard plus nic (thanks for the water spray worked a treat.

my main prob was keeping inlet charge temp down to below 50 deg at the start but plewnty of water spray on the turbo and pipwork shot it down to 37 deg which made a lot of difference.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

I was on the grandstand when Tim did that 13.2.

He got a perfect launch off the line which seemed all too difficult for most of the minis. A lot got bogged down with the huge amounts of grip.

Did you see that guy spraying the startline with glue for the Wild Bunch cars!!!!!!

-MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO-

I was driving the frog in the other lane when Tim did his 13.2, bloody hell it was fast!

my best time was 14.58 (im sure it was that ill dig the slip out) im happy with that. i might save up for a new head and turbo me thinks. made a note to ones self to bring spare spark plugs next time. had one knacker up on sat and only had an old set of a lower heat range ones so i wacked um in and on my last run 2 of them melted, but appart from that car seemed to run fine

edit- oh yeah well done to nic tim and mat, top cars well done.

Edited by Carl on 16th Jul, 2006.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Some questions though?
What happened to Carl Austin, why just the one engine?
What happened to the TT2?, saw it in the campsite and passed it going back up the m6.
Where was nathan Dobson and the V8?
What was wrong with Jon's car?
What was the story with jimster? did it run at all this w/e?

Here for the craic..

Did someone have piston troubles there? I heard someone melted a piston.

Yeah some turbos where very fast, very impressive.
