Well, after getting a lift most of the way from the stand to the 0-60 run area (long story!) I took some snaps of the 0-60 runs. Sadly, due to ongoing running issues, Mofo and Phoenix had to pull out (she only made it over the bridge when the excess weight - that being myself, Kathy and Jackie - got out) 
First up - Simon and the Zetec Cougar:
And the time.....
Not bad for a 4 pot 4x4...Next up was Dave in his shiny UIM'd frosty:
And the time.....
Not bad at all.
A quick breather while they circled about for another run (and enough time to switch to the bigger lense)
Sierra Cossie:
And.....
That was fast. Next up, an old Mk1 Escort:
And the time....well I reckon he was expecting more.....
Next up was Dave for a second run:
And the time.....
Slower Plenty of time for another run Next up was Si for his second run:
And the time....
Slower than the first run
Next up - a Sapphie Cossie - this should be quick:
And it was quick too...
Next up was Dave for a third run.....
And the time.....
Identical to the first run - consistent
A modern day turboed powerhouse - the Focus RS - now this should be quick:
And the time.....
Quick....but somehow I was expecting more!?
Another RS:
Sub 6 seconds - that's more like it
Finally....what's this I see?
I wonder if it's real or a replica...
Sounds real - exhausts popping with the launch control....
Goes like a real WRC car too....
And the time....yup it's a genuine ex-WRC car - bloody awesome machine
We had to walk back to the stand and.....took a wrong turn and pretty soon we were at a deserted part of the track (down by the new pit complex). We decided to go and sit in the Vale grandstand for a bit and I took some pics of the track cars.
Escort:
Not bad having an entire grandstand to yourself
Mk2 Fezza?:
The heavens opened and the track got a bit greasy (thank god we were in a posh grandstand with a roof)
This guy came steaming into Vale corner and I knew before he hit the brakes what was about to happen - too much speed + wet track = Gravel trap:
Mk2 Escort:
Nothing like a bit of sideways action
This one was pretty rapid:
That's all folks!
