That is held at elvington air strip york every year for britains and europes top modified cars
http://www.totb.co.uk/
WELL IM IN THE RWD CLASS
with 3 of my mates we have decided to run our own little team entry and see what we can do against the big Â£100,000+budget race teams that use methanol fuel and all sorts of wizadry

Its also televised on satalite
Any body got some good ideas for the stickers on the car as im going to have some made up to put on and havnt got a clue what
Something to get the Triumph mark noticed

The other cars are
Mk1 with 500 hp + cos engine
Mk2 with 500 hp + cos engine
and a Talbot lotus sunbeam with u guesed it
500 hp + cos engine
Its usually a good laugh camping the night before ,Sitting round the camp fire and eating burnt steak etc etc,

Thats the day after Marts track day. Think I'm probably going to be limping home nursing wounds rather than blatting up country saturday evening.

Best of luck to you and your mates, give the big budget boys hell.

Well there's a 3.9 that runs 12.604's at the 'Pod, no gas, naturally aspirated.........

Nic Mann's old Rover 3.5 (albeit single turbo'd) ran up to 500BHP as well.......0-120 in 10.1
