Dazza290 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 sierra front wheel drive? sorry i ment Mondeos common as muck but never used sierra are very soft imho,built and good few pro stocks for cowdie and thats only tap and spin and they dont last long at all  as bangers noway  there has been a mondeo used think at kings lynn it was I have seen a few Mondeos used at Crimond. From what I have seen in the Crimond bangers, the Sierra's handling leaves alot to be desired. They seemed to have that "snaking" effect. The Cavaliers are better. Vauxhall know how to make a car with half-decent handling. I personally would have thought (although maybe wrong as i dont have the chance to race bangers, but people have said this to me) that a Sierra handles better then a Cortina or Capri as they have independent suspension and not a solid axle, similar to a Granada. But who am i to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who am i to say yes dazza they are very similiar,they do handle better but it takes a gd driver to drive the old tinas and capris and better to watch imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Craig Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Definately! Would rather watch 20 Cortina's/Capri's racing about then 40 Bluebirds! Same here. I have a video of the National Teams at Hedno this year and it gets a bit repetitive because 99% of the cars there were bluebirds. The racing/wrecking is pretty good but a bit boring from a spectators point of view. Personally, I prefer a bit of variety, but I respect that Bluebirds are good cars to race and get hold of.

Marcy_Boi#133 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 The body did get ripped off the chassis. The crown was welded, but in the wrong places.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COURTY 334 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) Mondeos have been raced nowadays, probably alot more on the non orc tracks that allow fuel injection but they have started converting them with cvh engined heads and drilling out a couple of water ways so won't be long untill there the new thing id imagine. I belive ethan dudley autospeed driver done 3 meetings with his mondeo est. That crown so i was told was like peds said welded but in the wrong places as with them toyota crowns you have to bolt the body to the chassis as there smallish bolts and rubber mounted. (This may be wrong)? cheers, Courty334 Edited January 2, 2006 by COURTY 334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Dippy400* Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Warton Banger Crash Thats quite a good one, I never saw it IRL, just downloaded the video. if only he had the sence not to brake he might not have gone in so hard Was there that day mate even if he hadnt of braked he was going in hard, Kev had already lined himslef for corner the Jay picked him up. You could feel the ground move. Figured out he had broken his finger a week later and thats all that was wrong with him. Never raced since though...

I think there have been Vectras raced at Crimond. Although I am something of a Vauxhall enthusiast, I sometimes have trouble telling a Vectra from a Cavalier. And, the guy in that Warton crash could have turned left could he not? I suppose, he wouldn't have know that he would end up getting followed in like that. Did he build the car properly? The last time I felt the ground move when watching stock cars was at Yarmouth, with the V8 Superstox, so that must have been a helluva hit.

Flyinsi Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) This one Ill never forget, Blockbuster @ Westworld 2002 ? 2003? I was in front row with my family (see purple lining) bout 4-5 mtr from it when this hit happened Still cant believe he stepped out unhurt I was at the opposite end of the track ernie and from where we were standing I though he must've been dead as you could clearly see the chassis being ripped like a tin opener effect. The most amzing thing i thought was I was talking to the driver Mark Marchant in the pits after he'd loaded the car on the lorry and he turned the key at which point the motor fired up 1st time.
