when the flag* drops, the bullsh1t stops, see you all at york.
That not a very good attitude! You surely wouldn't feel upstaged when your Impreza was eaten alive by a drag car or a bike...but you might if it was a fairly standard looking BMW 330ci or a Audi TT. In the same way I would not at all feel like I have egg on my face if a Nova that was built purely to drag upstaged me. If I get spanked by a car that then pulls of the strip back on to the road can handle well, look quite good, carry 4/5 people and some shopping and be relatively comfortable then I'll pay respect. As andy says Nos's car is in a different league to mines and most on here. Where is nos anyway???

Indeed!

I feel this thread hopefully coming to an end, until york anyway.

I didn't say whether or not I would be spectator at York, it would be nice to bring my (vastly overweight hearse of a) car, but I don't think the gearbox would take it!

£5k to compete at Elvington? Are you mad? I might not have impressive time slips (or any at all!), but at least I'm doing something about it instead of calling foul (although the wife has asked for the back seats to be refitted).

There is a great deal of talk in here, isn't there? So the NovaBoi has lightweight stripped out sprint car, not my cup of tea (or the wifes more importantly, I value my bollox), but so what, are all the Scooby drag star wannabees just going to cry?
So NOSboi is bit of an angry young man, what you gonna do, get even more angry?

Don't get angry, get even, at Elvington Raceway, bring your heavily modified lightweight scoobs (or lightly modified heavyweight scoob if you're Tony) and blast this juvenile viva boy into the weeds.

A bit late but........
The Gag about blue leds on washer jets was a jab at Nova guys in general, a group that hang around my local Mickey D's av em.

Lets face it NOS's Nova has probably as much in common with a Nova as mine does with a rally prepped WRC Car. Its a Kit car with a Nova shell that has been said before, straight line speed is bullsh*t what are his laptimes for a decent circuit ?

The laptimes wouldn't interest me! I'd love to see him trying to keep it all under control on a dodgy road
