I'll be heading up for this,always nice to see scoobys coming "up" duffus dip at a 100 + and getting some serious sideways. Hope the weather is gonna be good,look forward to seeing yer corsa in action Davie

 

Service van full of lots of wet weather tyres(not that we will be needing them)car all trailered up and ready to go.
Early start in the morning,got to be thare for 7AM, so off to bed shortly and looking forward to a crackin day.

Hope its dry to let us catch some of the 4wd boys but if its wet now thats another story,with no LSD we wheelspin in the wet in 4th

Who can all be bothered coming up?

Some late entries just added to list including Ricky Wheeler with the MK2 Escort warrior,one to watch,i think he will be seeded around 11.

 

Yeah will be there, looking forward 2 it as am usually away on hols, but have seen the tv coverage past 2 years. looks great day.

edited to say, can u ensure that car number 3 doesnt win pleae

Good Luck

 

Thinking about this as I sit out on the prairie.

Couldnt make it got dragged into shopping for kids uniforms but ................... treated myself to a new all singing all dancing computer, it really is the dogs bollox & broadband is on its way

Davie - hope all went well, also how did number 37 go ??

Cheers

 

what a day,the sun shown from start to finish, and scotland won the nations cup with local driver gary adam winning outright in a subaru


brian

 

Fantastic day, absolutely knackered.Car was great over the jump and landed lovely.We won class B9 by over TWO mins and also beat the time of the 1600cc winning car.
Should have some great pics sent to me over the next week or so and will post them here when i get them.

The only damage to car externally was when a 2ltr 16v escort wouldn`t move over to let us by so we eh well helped him and broke 2 headlamps and the front valence!!!
The other damage came when the hand held fire extinguisher in the boot came loose and dented every panel in the boot!!!
Going to watch my in car Monday night.

 

Well done Gerry and Dave!!!!

You got those SIDC stickers on the car?

 

Davie - WELL DONE

 

A bit disappointed in this today, the entry list wasn't as good as it usually is. Raymond Munro was there but didn't take part, Barry Johnson's Impreza is being converted to tarmac spec for the Isle of Man, and had hired a Hyundai WRC for the McRae stages (£10,000 for a days hire). Also there was a big rally in Ireland this weekend, so some of the usual Irish entries weren't here.

Also in the past there's been lots of trade stands, including Town and County Subaru stand; but very little this time.

The weather saved the day though.



David

 

Well done Davie ,great result mate ,the wee corsa was running as sweet as a nut and you boys were certainly flying (got the pics to prove it too).still to upload them yet and once i get my foo-king e-mail sorted ill send ye them.

see ye soon john

 

Great day out, weather was amazing can't believe sunburn at Knockhill
1st time at event, great way 2 get 2 see rally action up close without having 2 chase round the countryside.
Well done Opelcorsa on the class win, u looked 2 be running well all day Think i may have a few pics.

Gee

 

Thanks for the praise guys, great day and really looking forward to seeing some pics filter through over the next week or so.

I will inform you all when it is likely to be on the telly.

Must have been Davie's peice box sliding about in the boot!!!

Nice one, the track looks awsome. Can Dougster have a shot?

 

The slide was due to the p!sh Khumo wets on the rear and the ultra grippy Yokohamas on the front,great fun all the same oh, and my tupperware box stayed intact Dougster BTW!!!

 

So your blaming the tyre guy now ??

What next, tarmacadam for laying the wrong type of tarmac ??

 

How did you get on against the TVR on saturay Stephen??
Did it rip past you or was it close

jamie

 

mate, mate, mate

standing still comes to mind

did i mention ****

ps for the record i didnt even try it against the TVR

i let him past to go on his merry way

fuel surge i tell you its going to be the end of me

 

HI SOOB spotted ur car in car park (plate was a clue ) Looked nice mate. Really like the spoiler extension

Gee

 

Now you mention it, the tarmac at that specific corner was layed against the flow of traffic to allow water to run off easier.

But i aint splitting hairs!!!

 

Gee, were you at KH on the Sat as well?

 

Aye, im always down spectating. Used 2 be in a silver bugeye. Should really start getting 2 know u guys by now. Maybe get a chance next 1

P.S couple of nice drifts at the hairpin by u just as the rain started

Graeme

 

Great day out - and cant believe I got sunburnt at Knockhill

That would be very helpful, cos they never seem to advertise it!

 

Hey Opelcorsa,

Glad you enjoyed your run at UKRC 5 last weekend!

I was there helping the film crews get sorted out amongst other stuff. Do you, or anyone else for that matter, have any thoughts or ideas that you would like put forward to the organiser for next year.

For example what did you think of the yump? Was there a massive risk of causing damage to the cars?

Do you think a water splash would be a good feature for next year?

I will speak with the film company owner soon and find out when the programme is going to be aired and let everyone know.

Hopefully blag a video of the event out of him as well!!

Stephen

 

Glad to see he won. I couldn't go due to work commitments. I (and 3 others) won a raffle type thing at last years Town and County Knockhill Spectacular day but completely forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago, when a letter arrived. The prize was to spend the morning with Gary and his team at the press day last Friday before the Mcrae stages. We each got taken through the forrest practice course (between Tillicoultry and Gleneagles) at full pelt as a passenger with Gary at the helm. It was unbelievable. The ex-WRC Subaru with its anti-lag, water injection etc etc makes my STi PPP feel like a Morris Minor. It was a real priviledge to get the chance to be in one of these cars and Gary was a real star, explaining technical aspects of the car and demonstrating driving techniques as we went along (I was concentrating on trying not to produce some skidmarks of my own!). There were several other competitors there with their Subarus, Mk2 Escorts etc. Even got to rub shoulders with Colin Mcrae who was driving a 6R4. Alister Mcrae also there. Big thanks to T&C for making this possible and to Gary and his team for making us welcome. Chances like this are few and far between for us mere mortals.
