[QUOTE=chip;3746477]Well I returned to TOTB again this weekend with my Team of vauxhall driving lunactics, we were winning in our class on numbers before the event even started, accounting for almost half the competition in the FWD class as none of the other teams had been able to put enough cars forward who qualified to really field a proper team.
Full results will be out soon, but quick summary from what I remember on the sheets I saw is:
FWD Drag qualifying times:
2nd and 4th
FWD Drag finals
1st and 4th
FWD Kilo Speed (top speed after 1km)
1st, 2nd, 3rd
FWD Handling
2nd, 3rd
Overall Kilo speed for the whole event, 9th
That really is mental when you think there were around 40 of the countries fastest evos/scoobys/skylines/supras, and only 8 of them could beat the vauxhall tigra of Andrew Speck!
Sadly we had some drama at the last minute before the event though when Rob Varela's car went up in flames!
Pictures from the event are here:

Full report in Total Vauxhall magazine shortly for the vauxhall lads, and in redline for the whole event.[/QUOTE]

 Shit like this makes me laugh, so up themselves, yeah Andy might have got 9th but he wouldnt have had a good word to say about any other car there and hes still a complete cock
its simple power to weight on the top speed putting a LET in a tigra is like putting a jumbo jet in a jap saloon
the bigger cars are geared for acceleration hence the tigras got fucking rinsed on the 1/4mile
they need to learn vauxhalls arnt the fastest cars in the world

Think before typing
1: so what if he is a cock or knot there is no need bitching about people on the Internet as it makes you look 12
2 ower to weight has nothing to do with top speed it has to do with the drag coefficient  in the air and raw bhp
3: the bigger cars are not geared for acceleration at all some might have custom ratios but most (will name the rips skyline for one) as having the stock ratios that they all have.
4: you also cannot compare a >10k Vauxhall (which all seem to do very well compared the money out lay) to the tuners cars which think spending 3k on brakes alone is ok.

yes still got it but i am without licence at the mo (don’t ask)
Had it over 3 years now so going in a new direction with it now, just don’t ask what direction it is going as I don’t know till its done but it will be getting pretty much every single part on the car changed for something better but will have to see how well that goes lol
I remember having it at pod 2 years ago and some one whent past it and said (I was out of the car) “omg that’s my old car wtf has he done to it  ” lol well I am hoping if he sees it again he will say “ omg look at what’s been done  ”
But any way that’s well off topic so back to totb
Yer he was very happy with what he did on the day don’t think he was that bothered of it popping as it will give him something to do after work for the nest few days.
Danny was also happy with what he did on the day he is gutted about not been able to do more runs and stuff so hopefully he will come back soon with all the little things that were nagging him on the day sorted.
Loved OH’s nova on the handling and think it was a good day all in all for the team.
Lets just hope we can go back nest year and do as good as we did this year.

i think the last time i saw it, it looked the same as leary had it except the colour of the wheels and i can't remember if it had a full interior in it when he had it.
i dout he will be bothered either just gives him an excuse to make it faster, didn't stay a redtop for long did it.
