Did anyone else brave the elements on Sunday & go to Sandown for the Marque sports sprints.

I was sorting out a 1600 for a customer and helping Coops with the blue beast.

The 1200 put in an excellent performance against larger/more-powerful opposition including equaling the lap times of a Z18 turbo bluebird and a TRD developed Twin cam Corolla who couldnt believe it was pushrod 1400!!!!

A pair of Autodelta (Alfa Nismo equivalent) powered Alfasuds had demoralised the under 1500 class, due to their dominationl. Entries to the capacity class had dropped as a result of their domination.
These very quick, very expensive (Motec M48 injected) cars suddenly fond a new challenger that came in and split the top pair!

Coop's got to within 0.5 sec's a lap of the faster car, (driving the pants of the 1200).

The 1200 still has the 3.9 stock diff (not even welded) and has yet to hit the dyno for fine tuning. A credit to Coops driving skill was the consistent 100 second times it produced.

Look out when he gets the H145 LSD and later the 4.111 alloy carrier H165
