I think the dolly ran late 11's?

great to see Stevie (awesome car - low 10's and seeing that huge granny being flung up the strip was magic!), Kean and Nic there - strangely didn't have the buzz of previous years - not a huge amount of spectators or anything really. Saying that the mk1/2 Harris engined Escorts were great fun, I think the fastest was a 12.1@106mph. The fast minis are getting these terminal speeds at Avon but not the traction!

please let the weather stay like this till Avon is over!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

if its traction thats the prob with turbo minis then some honda civic ideas may have to be employed to help get the 1/4 mile times down i.e those dodgy but purposfull front wheel drive weelie bars arrrrrhhhh!

i like the harris escorts & the rwd toyota starlets too! top fun!

2 litre twin cam Fiat engine rear wheel drive, I saw an immaculate one in the classic car museum on Malta whilst on holiday last year, well worth a visit if you are in Bugibba Malta at any point.

I managed a piffling 15.3 due to some clutch issues, ie, slipping at the top 0f 3rd and most of 4th gear.

Just pulled it apart and found the oil seal had gone, so hopefully will have it back together for next weekend with a new plate and seal....... and hopefully a decent time!!

Nice pics. :)

It was a good show, not as big as last year. Actually had decent weather which was a bonus!

I managed to get a vid of Stevie. In this clip he ran a 10.6 only saw him run once, looked damn quick!

Not the best quality, but you get the idea. *wink*
