Posted by admin on Dec 1, 2009 in Drag Racing

Nov 15th 2009 saw the close of the Irish Drag Championship at Bishopscourt. Congratulations go out to John Curistan of East Coast Customs who now wears the crown of Irish Drag Champion 2009 in the ECC Evo VII. Thanks to all involved including all the staff at ECC for their dedication and unwavering support : Adrian, Anne, Colin, Davy, John, Kevin, Robert, Stuart and last but not least Wayne.

Despite some minor transmission problems, John with his “Full Weight” ECC Evo VII consistently broke its personal record throughout the year. By the time the season closed, John had managed to trim the quarter mile time down from 11.071 to 10.040@141mph.

William McIlroy closely followed John all year in his R32
Skyline managing a 10.37sec ¼ mile on the last day of the season, an improvement from 11.461 following a custom fuel set-up and HKS re-map at East Coast.

Congratulations to Alan Ferguson also, in his ECC built 400/400 Impreza. Alan, despite living in Dublin, managed to compete in some of the Irish Drag events, with his best time being 11.660sec, down from 12.401sec.

Last of all, we would like to give a mention to Barry Toland in his ECC Civic Type R. He put down quick times throughout the year, his best being 13.79. Barry’s consistent times were good enough to give him 3rd in class 3, which is a great achievement.

Due to problems with the timing gear, we decided not to run our Evo VII. Some of our customers rang their cars, including Willy Mac in his RK Tuning skyline who won class 1. Congratulations also to Alan in the ECC/AMS Impreza who came 3rd in class 1.

Straightliners Enniksillen – Oct 09

Posted by admin on Oct 12, 2009 in Drag Racing

ECC were out in force at the recent drag racing at enniskillen. As we were without our Evo VII, we ran the Lancer 2000 Turbo. As well as our own cars, many of our customer cars were racing including the ECC EP3 with NOS, Colins 400bhp Impreza and Sean in his Starlet Turbo. Congratulations to Ruari in his DC2, who managed to achieve second in class.

Congratulations also to Alan, his first outing since having the AMS GT30 Turbo fitted – the first of its kind on a RHD car. Alan managed a time of 11.77, getting to the final, only to be forced out due to wringing a driveshaft.

Many thanks to Stephen Armstrong (NCC) for the pictures.
