Guest nationalssc419 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 You really don't know what you are on about Erik do you?? Follow ins are NOT part of saloons. You obviously havn't been to any real tracks and are onyl used to club racing, Crimond saloons are not part of the ORCi and they run to their own rules, the tyres make it spectacular, as far as I am concerned saloons are full contact racing, but that does not mean following cars in as they are primarily racing.. Bangers on the other hand are primarily an entertainment formula in which follow ins and big hits are all part of the spectacle.. cheers sparky just thought id say that i agree that followins arent part of saloons although tey do happen they shouldnt be allowed. i have first hand experience of being followed in at kings lyn and hittin the plating instead of hitting tyres it DOES hurt. i have seen people and known people to get followed in and rip there ribs apart down the centre. my dad broke both of his feet. and followins shouldnt be incouraged although youll never stop them.

Cod120 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Shows what you know young Erik, follow in's belong in the bangers. They don't belong in the loonz as you strangely believe Okay....they belong in the Saloons and the Bangers. Anyway, good to hear the drivers who were put in aren't seriously hurt Erik, Do you awake each morning and think of summit totally stoopid to post on the forum by any chance? How on earth can you come out with such a statement such as follow-ins belong in the saloons A follow-in in a banger has the potential to be bad enough,but with that the car takes some of the impact and has a degree of give as such,a saloon however isnt exactly the same now is it with the driver liable to take more of the effects of the impact on himself rather than the car... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and put your "lack of knowledge" down to your youthful exuberance as a pose to you actually being full of shoite and not kowing much!!! Andymek... Dear Mr Wilkie.. Such as i admire your attempt to point out to young Mr Erik i can only come to one conclusion i am afraid to say. Please don't be disheartened by my reply Mr Wilkie but i think it is your good self that is slavering alot of shoite,after all you are only a scruitineer for the saloons and your given information must be limited. Mr Erik is a young exuberant teenager and his knowledge must be a mine field of information. Mr Cod, All I was trying to say was that follow-ins are part of the Saloons, and that they should be allowed. He is supposed to make sure the cars can stand up to them, not be on here trying to make a fool of me. I realise I'm too young for you lot to take me seriously, and therefore, you prefer to try to make me look even more stupid rather than have a reasonable discussion. MR ERIC have you ever saw a ssc driver being followed in to a thick concrete wall with tons of earth behind it. i along with a lot of other members on this forum have witnessed this to hand where a driver has been followed in and hurt and it is not a pretty sight seeing someone who is participating in the race for YOUR enjoyment. One incident that springs to mind was a few years back at cowdenbeath i saw Phil Morgan climbing out of his car walked over to the football pitch stood a few minutes then collapsed in a heap with a broken sternum bone. i am unsure how the crash happened as i didnt see it whether it be a put in follow in or driver error im sure mr wilkie will be able to shed some light. For you to say follow ins belong in ssc is beyond belief. until you actually witness something like this keep your idiotic comments to yourself. i hope you never have the misfortune of seeing a ssc being followed in hard as the end results isn't always a good thing to witness.

erik Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) It's the concrete wall thats the problem, not the followins. At least the tyres have some give in them.... Edited May 29, 2007 by erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty496 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 It's the concrete wall thats the problem, not the followins. At least the tyres have some give in them.... mmmm yeah i'm sure any saloon driver who knows how to entertain the crowd would welcome being followed in to a tyre....which way's it gonna go? left? right? up? (can't go back if there's a car there).....the point is (as sim so correctly said to me while discussing this) bangers have crumple zones to help absorb impacts.....saloons are solid chassis, so the only 'give' in an impact is the drivers ribs :| it aint worth it Erik m8, 'loons are NOT follow-in-friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Agreed, it's not worth it. I can say what I want, but this lot still won't take me seriously, and I'll just be 'digging a hole' (I'm good at this). If I was 10/20 years older, they would have just read my post and given more reasoned feedback, but because I'm not, I usually just get people trying to make a fool of me, Mr Cod's posts are a prime example of this.

jay427 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Why does every topic on this forum go off what its was started about and end up with people just slagging others off?

martin379 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Yes good idea, think you would need an extra bit for all the slagging Erik takes though, and it is usually over nothing, its also a tad pathetic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones at Crimond are just normal car tyres chained around the outside, very bouncy things.

erik Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) and it is usually over nothing, its also a tad pathetic... Agreed. Everything has to turn into an argument, usually with me being picked on, despite the original subject matter having nothing to do with me. They start as reasonable discussions, but as soon as I post, it turns into an all on Erik slagging match over nothing.

Right its a perfectly normal, topic, as you jsut said All the posts are on topic Then you post Then it turns into an erik slagging match so having a quick think, doesent that suggest that YOU are the problem writing some complete load of old tosh that starts the arguement....

Sparky961 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 It's because Erik opens his mouth and talk rubbish, tries to take on the men that know what they are talking about in knowledge matches and makes ludicrous claims.. Erik I suggest you come down to cowdie and see what happens when a saloon hits something solid as up at crimond I wouldn't call a tyre wall solid.. cheers sparky ps. It's not picking on you, it's showing you up for you're complete garbage you come out with. I came across a crimond raceway messageboard you were on where you claimed that the F1 stockcars would be better coming up to crimond because it is 'better than knockhill' and 'a real stockcar track'..

Fraser85 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Too get slightly back on topic, I was there and although at the opposite corner of the track and slightly worse for wear due to a few Stella's, it was an absoloute stotter, (not saying it was right) the pics of the car show how hard the impact was, as long as the drivers can walk away thats a plus, however as listed above the possible price of repair is frightening, where total follow in's are unnaceptable and dangerous (IMO) theres nothing better than a hard fought race rather than the move over and follow the leader that we sometimes get.

Guest Scrapman53 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Lol Fraser. You mean follow the leader that we almost always get? Bring back the real stockcar racing to Cowdie and I might go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
