The next time someone asks Ellie how fast her Topolino 'Tot rod' goes she can tell them 40.5mph in 16.1 seconds (1/8th mile). Watch out Pete, she might get ideas of driving something bigger!

Well done Nifty & Pete, the Coupe got a best E/T of 16.8 and was winner of the Flathead Meltdown at the Nostalgia Nationals! What a brilliant weekend. J.P.
Phew, what a scorcher!! Blazing sunshine, sticky track & loads of cool cars means the Nostalgia Nationals 2010 are as good as ever. The times in the pic was their first run on Saturday, Pete later drove Nifty's Coupe to a 17.08, so hopefully tomorrow (Sunday) they'll break into the sixteens. Yay! J.P.

What do you get if you cross a 100e Escort body, a Ford 302 and a pair of slot mags???
Nathan and myself have been on a reliability weekend way up north (for us anyway) to the Penines on the Lancs/yorks boarder. Odgie and his other half Miss P organised the shin dig and made us welcome. As well as doing the usual drive around the lanes and through fords and over steep hills and down dales we stopped at a steam museum and saw one huge mother of a 600hp steam engine that powered 1200 looms. Awsome. But as it happens the field we were camping in was not only on the side of a bloody great big hill and as windy as f**k it also had a motoX track on it. We had hot rods and a track, just gotta do it ain't ya.
