Looking at Eurodragster, from O/FF we have James Wooton, Adele Woodbridge, Bernard Newbury and Jim Smith, all of who are on here. I'm going early Saturday morning just to spectate and generally get in the way, and my better half is coming down on Saturday evening. Title: Re: Springspeed @ Shakey this weekend, who's in/watching?

So don't think there are enough to run the class now. Just debating what to do- I need some more track time- but could do with the funds to get the motor mapped. :-\

BIG respect for not pedalling and still keeping the car on the track - was truely awesome to watch. Was good to meet some of you - i guess you'll all be back there for Open Sport Nationals?
