i loved the fiat 500. it was driven in anger as it should unlike the guy in the radical. the fiat was miles quicker up the hill than the radical on
the day but it was down to the driver. there was a 1200 bhp audi quattro 2.2 turbo but he couldn't get power down. likewise a talbot sunbeam
with cosworth power. he was spinning the wheels all the way up the straight.
there was a brand new (one meet old) special with 2 x 1600cc buas engines joined together to make a 3200cc v8 screamer. he won the first championship
round with scot moran second and then second in the second championship round with scott moran 1st with ftd

loggyboy. i thought i had taken some pics of it as well as a v6 westy and a few others but i dont seem to have them, it was awesome. huge bi-plane
rear wing in carbon and huge carbon front splitter. 2.2 turbo, old style quattro in red. it was 1200 bhp but they de-tuned it today with a seperate
map to 880 bhp. lol. still not that quick though to be honest as grip was proving an issue. some of the cars in the 1600cc class were in a different
league to it.and they were running times on a par with the big boys.

Chances are the V6 Westfield was maybe a V6 Dax.
I saw the Les Mutch car in the background in one of your pics.
It seems that Lee Adams was flying again in the Raptor too.

sorry yes the v6 was a dax rush. but it was highly modified to the pint it looked nothing like one. adams was very very quick. wallace menzies (dont
know how to spell it) was not quite on form either. he was ftd last year

I saw the Fiat there last year (but the June one I think), & was also impressed, very well finished & he didn't hang about! Still an A
series in the back? It had been through a few variations of engine type the bloke told me.
