Classic Thunder 2009

big andy · 16 Dec 2008, 18:19 (Ref:2356299)

after a 8 month rebuild my toyota starlet will be finally ready for the 2009 classic thunder championship
the merger with the boss ford saloons looks good and will boost the numbers so hopefully full grids and better races next year

who else is hoping to take part

mig · 16 Dec 2008, 22:00 (Ref:2356439)

Lydden is going to be cheap which should help 'compensate'. Still, should be 'interesting' watching the 4-500BHP RWD Escorts and Starions trying to get round it!

Correct, they run track day tyres. If anyone wants to run slicks they are more than welcome in the other Classic Thunder categories.

I know.

Denis, you would have to make the rules out of plasticine to get my Belmont in, and it IS a Thundersaloon, and being a 1990 built car, it's a classic!!

Too many cylinders for starters. Production block (cough!)... rear wing might struggle to fit the bill....

Otherwise, not looking that bad for a set of regs.

joss Ronchetti · 30 Dec 2008, 17:54 (Ref:2362865)

I will be out in all the rounds, hoping we have the reliability back in my Evo 5 2.7 Sunbeam Lotus as have one sponsor commited.
I need to make some cut-backs as not sure how bad this credit crunch thing may get! I won't not be out much with the LMA's or DMN unless I have any luck with the Insurance Company I am talking with at the moment....but not holding my breath!!! ...
I am looking forward to the prospect of good grids and some really good saloon car racing.
With no sports cars and no slick shod 4x4's running away with it should make some fantastic racing with lots of different cars all the way up to the front!

andy robinson · 30 Dec 2008, 18:55 (Ref:2362900)

joss you have more fun with classis thunder & it'll give me a chance in the lma

cannot beleive how fast your car is, first saw it a few years ago @ croft with the northeren saloons, was impressed then, @ mallory this year id blown the clutch bearing & was watching you hassling honda super tourer & the marcos could not not get past you

joss Ronchetti · 30 Dec 2008, 19:33 (Ref:2362919)

Yes went faster than ever doing a 49.6 on lap 17 on a drying track when I finally found the limit of the wet sump! Everyone else set their fastest on lap 22/23 so sure I could get into the low 49's.
This years car will be dry sumped going up 100ccs to 2680 and will be 20Kgs lighter with hopefully 20BHP more

dmn it is then rob,should be a good o'l battle with john cross's v8 mondeo.

It's more likely to be AMOC Super GT most of the time. Still it'd be nice if Classic Thunder lived up to the Thunder in it's name!

Al Weyman · 30 Dec 2008, 23:09 (Ref:2363031)

It would do if you put that engine in something like my IROC-Z then you could use it!

RADFORD · 2 Jan 2009, 11:27 (Ref:2364010)

Im sure this with a few safety tweeks mix in.
