Nick i'll be there if my car's ready and it's a proper timed event . I'm not bothering if it's just a normal shite trackday though as trading paint with motors covered in stickers isn't worth the grief so i'd rather just get a battered old 4 door for those .
What about noise regs , are we allowed too make any or do we get chucked off for having race engines ?
iam get the vibe that someone is thinking of duckin out , dont worry my estate is street legal , comfy, on road tyres, and pump fuel,, it also breathes like an old train,, and it aint got any stickers on it,,, c u down there

A proper "comfy" is a normal car without any weight saving . So full factory style interior , steel panels , glass windows , bumpers , etc etc (no bits missing) .
All the track cars are normally stripped out and ride around on trailers so no comparison .
sigpic 2.1 ATMO YB POWER .
Tick tock goes the clock and the clock don't lie .
12.4sec to 109mph With NO turbo , NO gay trailer , NO slicks , NO gas , NO race fuel and NO bits missing . Beat that !!!!

As i said earlier , i'm not bothered about doing shitty trackdays . If i wanted too race around on tracks then i'd have a battered shite heap covered in stickers that i didn't mind crashing . No point having a nice motor for track racing use in my opinion .

Weight saving?? Mines 50 kg heavier than standard mk1
Rick, we could throw a tow bar on the estate, trailer mine up there with it the use them both.. That'd surely make it comfy royalty

It will weigh more if it has no weight saving/bits missing and then you add more bits . Link bars weigh less than leaf springs though .

Not sure if this is meant for me but i'll reply just in case .
As i've said twice already , i've not got a drag race car . I built a normal Escort road car that runs 12sec 1/4 miles at 109mph for fun on a set of 175mm wide road tyres .
If i had built a competiton car then it would weigh 150 kilos less (with half the car missing) so it would be faster at motorsport events .
I like road cars with heaters etc though so that's what i built . It still goes alright though .

But do they weigh more thank Link Boxes and Rods and suspension tower combined
I would think so mate .
