As discussed on the message board, several people travelled to Santa Pod to join the FTO owner's club and time their cars over the famous 1/4 mile drag strip. Taking part were Andy Dodd with his Mk1 twin-turbo (before his accident), Ewan Kingham with his Mk1 twin-turbo and myself with my Mk2 non-turbo.

I decided not to race mine as I would be too embarrassed, besides, someone had to take the photo's didn't they? :-) Unfortunately, I only got three decent shots - I guess these twin-turbo's just go too damn fast!!!

Here's Ewan leaving a poor FTO standing...

And here he is again, blatting away another FTO...

And here's a great shot of Andy stonking up the strip. If you look carefully you can almost see the grin on his face! :-)...

Here are Ewan's timing slips - I think you'll find they speak for themselves Mr. FTO Owner! :-)

Many thanks to the FTO owner's club for letting us muscle in on their event.
