NWFF1600 DRIVERS are better than the SOUTHERN FF1600 DRIVERS

You better believe it :rotate:

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT REDRACER57 BUT A MUCH SLOWER AND UGLIER IMITATION

Probably right, how about Combe and Midlands? I havent seen many NW drivers in front of Midland or Combe drivers when they have raced together.

I'm in for a SOM and NW race this year, so we'll find out, and I have seen suggestions that you may poke your nose out Matt.

You will notice that the top post is from redracAr57 and not me who is RedracEr57.

Although I would have to agree.

More NWFF drivers need to try other circuits to see who is best as most NWFF drivers don't seem to want to travel. But when you have the best single seater champ in the UK why bother!!

I will be up at Oulton if they do a double header and def some midlands races! well as soon as I have an engine!

It will be good to race against you!! I got some stick from your old man when I questioned all your run in's with gavin!! I told him I was only saying what people told me!! I will be able to buy you a beer when you kick my ass next year!!

Could a TT senior person block - or do whatever to - this imposter Redracar57 - the one with CAR, not CER in his log on name.

I am getting annoyed with his comments that he is trying to attribute to RedracEr57. Enough is enough. :mad:
Also remove this thread. We are trying to get all the regional FF1600 racers into one family. We don't need his silliness stirring things up. We are quite capable of having our own bit of friendly banter.
If anybody knows of a Forum for budding GT drivers, please point him at that. We don't need him. They are welcome to him.

No worries, I have crashed with gavin 2 times Ed Mooooooore 1 time a bloke at Combe once but we both continued and a backmarker at Combe once umm and Chris Whittingham once at Snett, all in 5 years of racing so its not that bad I know of people that have had a lot worse! oh and Kevin Mills at Combe! I did the whole of 2001 without crashing once!

I learned to race against John Hutchinson and Robin Parsons who I never even touched wheels with and who I consider to be the toughest fairest racers I have ever raced with, If anyone is up the inside (and you know they are there) then they can have a car width and will have to brake later, if they are coming down the outside they can have a carwidth and better brake later and thats it not rocket science!

the one with gavin at Brands this year was me not seeing him, thats it.

Thanks diz for trying to get me thrown out before I have started. Forums like this are for people to express views and thats all I am doing and you must agree the NW boys/girls rock ?

Mr Rodgers you can let people know your views but could you change your name from being like mine so that when you do get going..... people don't come after me!!!

I hear what you say, but agree with Chris that chosing a name so similar to his and with no connection to your first name, last name or hair colour [sorry Chris] is a touch :censored: like.
I agree about the NW though [I've got to haven't I] but all the regions have champions. It is just that - for arguments sake and this will probably start another one - NW is Premier League. I'd put Combe as Div 1., SOM Div 2. and SFFC will have to be Div 3.
Justin Dawkins will now probably wake up LOL

Thats the spirit diz get stuck IN :rolleyes:

But what about the Irish

Ye Gods. I've just had to come back in to edit this reply. I thought I was replying to Chris H and it was that pesky imposter again. Still as a Manc, he also has recent experience of the lower division.

Come on Diz read the names!! That was Tony who is a Man Utd fan for his sins. Before "I" take the **** I am going to wait till we hopefully beat you on boxing day!!!

COME ON THE MIGHTY WHITES!!!

Are you joking Diz? I assume you are! Gilmore apart where were they speed wise in the Festival?

First to the Kentagon

as far as I can see there is a fair mix of Northern v southern drivers at Oulton, where all the best drivers race.

Oops! Sorry I forgot. Hutch, in order to be considered truly fast moved up North to live this year, so I guess the fastest drivers ARE from the North after all.LOL!!!!! Or should I get into the Christmas spirit and say Ho Ho Ho.

Damn right its woken me up, and at 4.30! I can't except that, I would say Combe+SOM in preier legue, and NW and Southern in the conference. The northern side;s achilles heal being that only a few of the players will go to away matches:laugh:

harsh to put SOM div 2. think if combe, NW and SOM drivers went to a 'neutral' circuit SOM would come out better with NW next. Not knocking combe drivers there are a couple of quick drivers but most are track specialists - sorry. SFFC dont really count as there are only a handful of racers, but it is pretty poor.

I don't think so.

Three of our drivers set times at Oulton that havn't been matched in 10 years (1.03.6's).

Eat my exhaust!! LOL

No doubt blue nose will be lapping consistently in the 59s in 2004 then.
LOL

I raced at Combe 4 times this year and have to praise the drivers who are extremely fast and fair at racing all the way through the field. I haven't raced any Northeners yet but I am thinking of coming up late next year to see how good they really are....:p

Everyone in the FFord championship at combe are friendly as well which makes them even better IMO

Tiptop

Don't worry Tiptop, we're friendly up North as well!

I'm sure you all are :) have a good xmas everyone
Tiptop

Well, you have to say that the top NW drivers are better than the top FFord 1600 drivers in any othher region simply because of the results they achieve. Look at Hutch's Success, even at thruxton in a car that isnt suited to the fast stuff where the zetec/kent conversin dominate was right up at the front. Also, when he returned to combe for the carnival he made everyone else up thier game with his speed. Stuart Gough has set times that have not been seen in a long while at all the circuits he raced in in his 1600, not to mention his amazing show in the Zetec Winter series. These two alone plus the likes of roberts, Loebell, the other Gough, etc etc seem to be just that bit better than the rest of the countries offerings in my opinion.

Zerofive,

Hutch's car is not suited to a fast track....the RF90 goes ACE on a fast track. He is a 2 times Combe champion having raced there for years so I should have hoped he'd go well. But I agree he is a joy to watch.

Lets settle this, lets see if we can get on an international track such someone in spain for example (because its hot) and get a few from each championship to have some racing ! no-one knows the track, everyone has to travel, plus it would be a great laugh.

Yeah that would be interesting to see darcym.

It was my undersatnding that the 00/01 van diemans are much better through the air than the 91 van diemans etc and as such are a far superior car around thruxton??

blue nose won't be posting for a short while. He is too busy booking exclusive circuit hire at every known Spanish circuit - just in case !!!!!!!
LO bŁoody L

Might as well use Pembrey. No-one goes there - no ferries needed - and it'll be proper british weather.

ahhh but one of our drivers has raced at pembry...ohh right shhhh "yes pembrey will be fine"

ZeroFive, a few people talk about he side pods on the Zetec conversion causing too much drag.

Come to the Festival at Kirkistown on the 24 July its neutral but then why come over when you'll all get your asses kicked. We all know the best drivers are Irish

None of you would get round that stupid first corner hairpin at Pembrey on the first lap of the race.
Therefore, Mike Waite will be 110% in favour of Pembrey. He might even buy himself a new note pad and tape measure for the occasion!!

I want spain as I need to top up my pasty complextion with a tan

Spain or kirkiston -emmm now theres a tough one!!! Why do you think all the paddys jump at any chance to race here?

As an aside, I once asked a girl to go to the cinema with me. She asked "what is on?". When I told her it was Moby Dick, she said that she didn't like sex films. I told her it wasn't a sex film, it was about whales. She said that she didn't like the Welsh either.

Reason to go to Knockhill : Scottish Bridies - another meat pie type affair.
Reason to go to Kirkistown : The Pavlova in the Paddock Cafe
Reason to go to NW FF1600 : Cakes, cakes and more cakes.

THIS IS THE BEST TOPIC I HAVE SEEN ON THIS WEB SITE FOR SOME TIME IT COULD EVEN TURN INTO A GOOD FIGHT ?

who would win the fight? combe have a weight advantage dont they? :)

hahaha much Moooooore weight at Combe!

Matt,
I think you are Edding for a local slapping

Nah I am miles away from any Edd Cases

There's no need to go abroad - just do what they did when they used to allow rallying at Oulton - run it the 'wrong' way round.

You'll see who's committed coming into Lodge as an uphill 90 right, with a blind apex and about 6" of run off. Then there's Druids and the veeery light crest towards Clay Hill...

Racing drivers are just spoilt girlies really once I think about it. Runoff. Safety. Gravel traps. Sissy stuff.

(Ducks for cover.LOL)

Uphill 90 right? It is rallying, through the gravel!!

(I think it was stopped when armco went up as that was laid out for one direction only)

Ok, Ok, So I was lying about it geing a 90 right. I just wanted top see if you were all paying attention. LOL

And no, the reason rallying was stopped I believe was 1/. noise and 2/. they could make more money out of a racing school day.

I (and my wife) have done loads of rallies the 'wrong' way round Oulton inches away from the armco - literally!

Youv'e not lived until you've been round Druids in the dark, on slicks, on a frosty track, sideways with your lights pointing not where you are going.

Yeehaa!

Yeehaa! Was Druids backwards a right, or left hander Andy, or am I looking for a backhander? :laugh:
Merry Christmas to you, Di, Stuart and Ian.

Afternoon everyone, just done all my Christmas shopping in 2 hours at the Trafford Centre - no traffic and very quiet - bliss and got to see the lovely Atomic Kitten in the flesh....

Anyway just read up on what you were talking about.

Idea?

Why don't we have a fun Sat afternoon in the early new year at 3 Sisters outdoor Kart track with all the different FF1600 champs in different teams and have a fun battle then all go out for a curry and bond!!!

What do you think - Malc Barfoot (NW racer) runs the circuit so we should be able to get a good amount of track time for little money - PS no moaning about tyres as they run slicks in the wet - great fun...!!!

nery kwismas to yu Diz.
