a few mates from work would be up for it too.

I'd really like to have both tracks available but seeing as teesside is only round the corner if it does come down to just the West track then I'll still be there.

Also how close is the nearest house to Teesside??? i didnt think there was a residential area for some distance around the track. Just wondering how bad the noise could be!!

Good to see you skid bizz- ^houses are not that close but i think its the tyre noise that travals and when a northerly wind blows (witch it does alot here near the North sea) its amed at the houses with a bunch of old gits that think they can hear somthing so they complain

You will not see it listed, it the Ford RS owners track weekend. 2days of trying to kill the car. Done it for the last 4 or 5 years £200 for both days Its fun skidding into the complex as thats where the crowds sit But you have to be careful as they don't like skidding much.
I was having a great time until i notice the top boy from the track had walked from the start line area around to the complex to see who was causing the tyre smoke Had to stop doing it until he buggerd off

Got some pics in Fastford and Performance Ford mag and discribed as "The Euro look Sierra the was hanging it out around every corner" Taking more tyres this year

took your advice and grinded the bolts off cause i got sick of the hacksaw lol, but having problems with propshaft bolts now as i cant get them loose and there also starting to round,

so all i really need to do is come and get diff off you and try and find a trailer, but trailer is the main problem
