Out of interest, some Mod Prod footage (where a lot of Super Road Saloon cars went when the BRSCC broke it) -

Not in Super Road Saloons or Mod Prods Lee - you need to look for Formula Saloons, SEMSEC Sports & Saloons, and BARC-SE Saloons (DMN).
Thanks for the vids Denis. Shame about the quality as you say, but I managed to pick out me in the ol' Nova at Cadwell, Silverstone, and Thruxton. If I hadn't been taken out on the first lap and left with bent suspension/steering, I reckon I could have done well there - I was quicker than you in qualifying if I remember.... Silverstone ended in the Brooklands kitty litter (ran out of talent under braking!), Cadwell wasn't too bad - lost a lot of time behind the Civic and then the Saxo. |

David, Jack said he needs taking for a walk, can you come down and take him down the park!!
You ratbag waking up Doug like that. Reminds me of some of the "party" antics we had a Snetterton one evening. Brian Rowan's (white Fiesta) missus got hacked off with the noise from the Matt Edwards entourage and had told Brian to pack up they were going. And he did. Poor ol' boy. Ooo thems were the days! Some of the Eurocar meetings we supported were terrible!!! (in a rowdy sort of way!). |

As the discussion on the Falken ModProd thread at the moment is Lotus Sunbeams and many cars/drivers mentioned raced in SRS, thought I would dig out some pics and post on here.
All from 1993..... Jonathan Woodward, Neil hasler, Eric Crawley at the bottom of the mountain Eric Crawley, Me & Simon Gent, Mallory Remember this race well at Snet, me vs. 4 Sunbeams (Phil Seaman not in pic), they kept getting past, then I would pass them all again down the Revett Straight to re-take the lead each time, in the end they wore me down like a pack of Hyena's Jonathan playing on the beach Don't remember this one, was it a one off outing, Derek Hastings Phil Seaman & Mark Wyatt, Donington |

It was a cracker. |

Great Photos !
Derek Hastings appeared in Scottish saloons with his Lotus Sunbeam. One of several cars which he has competed in since the mid-1980s, on which he would use number plates of his 'Zippo' racing team, at events. He currently contests Scottish Classics in a Porsche 928. |

I like the photos, much better then mine. I have found a few possibly they are SRS so I need to upload them.
How do you do it ? I found photos of Jon Woodward and I think Eric Crawley and Mark Wyatt, even Neil Hasler now I remember the green stripe. Don't remember Phil Seaman's green car though I also found a photo of a Mk1 and Mk2 Fiesta, I think the Mk1 might be Andy Pyke and the Mk2 Tim Watson. Talking about Mk1 Fiestas does anyone remember a blue Mk1 1300 driven by Andy Belcher or a white Mk1 1600 driven by Roger Parry ? Sarnie I'm sure I have a photo of the Capri somewhere.

Yes, I remember Andy Belcher and Roger Parry's cars. I seem to remember Roger's being red, but I could be mistooken. I'll have to dig out my photo album.
Andy Pyke's was white, as was Tim Watson's. Tim's number was (and still is!) 62. Andy was 70, or was it 71, he shared the car with Phil Wright from time to time. Al - there was a later recommendation that the plates were removed during racing, then some time after that, when we were allowed trailers, 92 seems to come to mind, the cars had to be "MoT-able", but didn't need to be taxed, etc.. just registered. It came in when the MoT regulations tightened up on emissions, because the rules allowed us carte blanche internally on the engines, it was deemed that cars then may not pass the MoT test, but would still meet the regs. At the end, the cars were closer to ModProd spec than they were road saloons, the main difference being the interior fire hazard (trim). |

The only Mk1 Fiesta I know racing is the ex-Hugh Poston now with Neil Bray racing in Group1 saloons. I think the car was a 1600 and is now a 1300cc, I'm sure Al can confirm. |

Yes Neil is racing a 1300 but we have another one but he only made a brief appearance this year and lunched the engine. He was regular the previous year.

I've found there were two other Fiestas that raced Group1 back in the day. Graham Fermor which was yellow 1300cc and Mark Astrup in a blue 1600cc Fiesta.
Could Graham's be the same one that Hugh Poston raced as this was also yellow, but I thought was a 1600cc. If it is then the cars been full circle as Al confirmed Neil Bray is racing a 1300cc again. Whereas Mark's car appeared a year later as a 1300cc aswell. Damn I should have converted the old Supersport. Back on SRS I'm am right in saying Roger Parry's Fiesta went to Ian Sturt ? |

The 1300cc class is sitting there waiting to happen, I think it could soon be very popular with the current fuel prices! Just looked it up its Brian Goodwin that also races the 1300 Fiesta with us in Classic Group 1.

I thought Fermor's was an XR2, as he had raced in the Fiesta challenge before road saloons?

just found this thread and spent 2 hours going thru from 2006! Your pics have brought back memories, I (Simon Orr) drove the #5 white/purple Lancer which we had the spat at Mallory, did SRS from 91 - 94 when money and time allowed, great fun and a great crowd. Fun racing the all the Sunbeams, Simon Light's Capri and Steve and Wes Moores Saab's. Started with jeff Robinson (great bloke) at Riverside Racing in one of his black Lancers then he built a special one for me from the ground up that started of white and ended up with a purple front end (great car, poor driver!) Wheres the car now? Sold it to some guy in a service area near Cheltenham! dont even know if it raced again? Cheers Simon Orr PS - Simon - Just got a B_ll_cking, not even a fine or an endorsement. Must have been because Im I nice bloke! |

I also had red paint on the bumper at Coombe, not funny as I then visited the marshalls post sideways at speed (luckily l/h side), still that was a long time ago I hear Mostyn has dragged the Firenza out of the barn? I'm hoping to be out later in the year in Classic Thunder. |
