cheers.. i am only running the fronts though i have some prototype rears that seem excellent, ..they adjust via a knob under the rear arch i bought the ones with just harder or softer adjustment though they do them with twin tubes and 2 knobs for bump and rebound but as i know from my bikes you can drive yourself nuts trying to get them right so i kept it simple..which side is fully soft for the fronts is it anti clockwise all the way untill it stops? i havent seen any instructions or leaflets as the boxes have been used and i suspect they were in them

Would like guys like to make a club presence at this years TOTB 10.
I am one of the main organisers for this event and would love to see a Fiat Coupe club stand

Here is a brief run down of what is going to happen over the weekend
TOTB X is a full on two day event with evening entertainment
New for this milestone tenth event is the TOTB bootcamp on Saturday the 30th this is where the next generation of competitors can come along and experience this unique event for them selves at a cost of just £75 for the full day its better value than any currant track day
Saturday also sees the TOTB competitors on track doing there final prep for the big day
Saturday night we have the big marquee from UK Bars and the top band Strangebrew entry is free and open to all campers and competitors
New for the big day on Sunday is the Top speed viewing area set adjacent to the kilometre boards this area with its own vintage shuttle bus running spectators up to view the top speed action will the cars hit the 200mph barrier this year some where close at TOTB IX
Also new for Sunday we have Helicopter flights taking off adjacent to the top speed viewing area at just £25 per flight Spectators can go up and see the event from the air and marvel at this vast airfield from above
The handling circuit will have three big time shoot outs at TOTB X Handling circuit drivers are allowed 5 timed runs from 10.30 untill 2.30 then the top 5 in each class will get 2 more runs to find the top two drivers who will then go into the finals for each class there will be awards for the top driver in each class as well as the overall winner and points will be awarded accordingly
Regards Dave Naxton

nigel do you know if can i still enter totb? i always intended to run if i had a car capable and it's been really touch and go with that but i think we have a solution which will allow me to run over 500bhp at least untill i have had a manifold built to my own spec( i don't think it will be ready in time)..i am trying to find a 1/4 mile day where i can set a time asap i am sure with a over 500 i can do it so is it worth my last minute rushing round?

barbz will be spannering and helping me i think, though in truth he would likely do a better job as he is so much more experienced.... i am just getting a feel for it ready for a more serious attempt next year .. i still haven't driven on a track yet! it's all very last minute as well so no practice as yet,the cars not set up and i have no idea what works best for me or even how i like the car! as yet i haven't even adjusted my suspension its still as it came out of the packet.. but we have a stonking engine with a massive power spread full boost around 3k with standard manifold! all the way to 8k be nice to meet you there though come over and make yourself known!

Track tyres with only enough tread for TOTB are likely to be illegal, and they won't let you run with them.
