A few pics for you to look over, I tried to take photos of the TVs so you could see all the times as well, a very respectable performance from everyone on the IMOC team, well done chaps!

It was a good day! Except for poor Andy, i couldnt believe what I was hearing over the tannoy at first

I only did one 1/4 - anyone get the ticket?

I picked up a couple of tickets that were there when everyone had gone, can't remember what number they were off the top of my head, I'll dig them out later.

It was on the M62, near junction 35 I think, I went that way to avoid the traffic heading to the A64, didn't quite work out as planned.

Nice pics Michael =D>

Just got back in, and have got to say well done team IMOC - there were some very impressive '2s there, and some good results recorded. The Curse of TOTB did throw a few gremlins in the works - Andy, Andi - hope you get your '2s sorted OK.

One of the focuses of the weekend was the RWD Handling and looking though Michael's pics here are the results:

Congratulations to Jonno for getting up there in 7th place - that's very good going against specials like Westerfields and Dax Rushes - the only 'road' cars quicker were Dodge Vipers (!)

On Rear wheel drive results, it looks like a few people's runs were missing

but Michael Commons got 150mph terminal speed on the 1 mile run, as well as (I think) a 12.1 1/4 mile ..

OK, Some of my Pics - you can get the full set here

Toni's TRD 2000GT MR2 was looking fantastic, and had just had a very special engine build completed just in time for TOTB.

The TOTB V film crew also took a lot of interest in it, and interviewed Toni:

All the '2s competing were spotlessly turned out, it has to be said, and the IMOC stand was I think the only Club stand out there at all - all the others appeared to be tuners looking after their demo cars, or customer cars..

The Handling course and the1/4 mile areas were the two main crowd pullers :

The queues were fairly long for both the 1/4 mile and handling circuit - I think everyone would have liked to have got a few extra runs in if there had been time, but with cars breaking down on the handling circuit (a fiat Coupe lost a NSF wheel

and a Scooby lost a fibreglass door panel on the 1/4 mile) meant qualification time slipped by too rapidly ..

Ben I was interviewed 3 times!!!!! 3!!!!!

1st time I was caught unexpected.

"what are you doing"
Me: "cooking"
"what you cooking?"
Me: "Meat,.... er chicken and err stuff... sausages..."
PMSL
I was also put off by the fact the lady kept rubbing her chest on my arm! Well not put off.....

The second lady that interviewed me I think I fell in love with

but I bigged up IMOC and they got a few shots of the flags etc etc.

The third, they wanted to show me cooking so I arranged the burgers into some modelling poses pmsl

Yep the blonde one was first. Kept rubbing herself on me. Not that I was complaining

The one I fell in love with is here in this pic. Brunette in on the right:

She was damn fine!

Thanks Ben, for once the car ran perfectly all day. If only the handling circuit queues were shorter I think I could have knocked another second or so off the time - but everyone was in the same boat. I think I managed 3 out of my 5 runs, with each queue taking an hour!!.

Im not sure I could have gotten close to the quicker 4wd cars though, the circuit was really technical in places and 3 laps wasnt enough for me to get the best out of the car, I nearly span twice on my sighting lap and my first quick lap was more like a rally stage than a sprint - In my defence I guess the EVO's were relying on some of their clever technology to help them out, especially in the last corner and the slowly tightening mid section, I suspect most of them had another 150bhp on me too!. As for the megabusa's and dax, they were ~750bhp per TON!!, unless we sabotage them by dropping lead weights in their cars whilst they are not looking I doubt we will ever get close!!.

Well pleased with the result though, and what a great day!!

Neil.

Some nice pics there Michael - good to finally meet you too

Were the timing screen shots taken at the end of the day? I put in a 161.1 mph run toward the end of the day (still have the slip) but don't see it on this screen. Would have put me 7th on that list

Nice to meet you (and others) too

The pics were taken after the event finished but chances are they weren't the final figures, they seem to lag behind a fair bit.;

Fantastic weekend, a great event, and the utmost respect to all who took part. =D>

When I left, MikeJC was at 7th position in the RWD 1/4 mile times. Now that's what I call respectable. The car looked and performed superbly all day, screaming up the quarter mile every time.

Seeing as it was up against some of the hardest looking and sounding machinery in the UK, an incredible performance. Well done mate, and to Patrick and Rogue Motorsport for preparing such a superb MR2. =D>

The rest of the team and Michael Canny (great to meet you mate) for organising it, did us proud. We can hold our heads up high and know that the MR2 was represented superbly by IMOC.

Lastly...

Comiserations to Andy Forster (AndyF), who's beatifully prepared MRD machine, lost virtually the entire contents of its sump on the start line of the quarter mile, when the oil filter relocating kit pipe decided it no longer needed to be attached to the engine.

The car shot off like a scalded cat trailing a huge plume of smoke after it, but stopped at the end of the mile straight for some time while Andy tried to fathom out what had happened. It was seen parked up in the public car park for a while, only to return later in the afternoon to try again.

Smoke again on the next run, and this time after returning to the pits it was confirmed that his big end bearings had picked up and were indeed shot.

Gutted for you mate.

EarL.
