You're just joking that that was Santa Pod -- Not overcast -- no one wearing a snuggy -- -- a beautiful day -- looks like great racing too

See pure Racing for a write up and more pics, along with a few times....

Mainly 13's through the day - I ran a 14.0 in a loaned car (the green looker on anthracite 356 steels). Quickest aircooled ET of the day was a 12.152 for the blue 1303, followed closely by a 12.158 from Johnny in his Gulf Blue rag on gold ERCO's (John torched a head on that run Sad )


Take a look...

I was impressed by the sheer number of runs Neil had, he never stopped going around! Makes a nice change when its so often very difficult to get a good amount of passes in to have the opportunity to just do as many as you like. I literally could have done 40 passes if I could have survived the heat.

No Tom, I now own a late looker, but that wasn't ready to race. The green car was one I raced on behalf of a fellow club member for the weekend *he had become a father a few days earlier and couldn't make it along in person). Shame you weren't around buddy. Anymore trips to the UK planned this year?

Oh I see Smiley
Yes I'm sad cuz You guys had a grate time (as always) and I wasn't there. I hope I'll visit "the islands" in the time next Drag day will have place.
By the way her in Poland some racing action has place also. Think about visiting Poland one day guys Wink Maybe we don't have Santa Pod but hot chicks and Race America timing gear do the thing Smiley I'll post some dates of racing near to the boarder.

cheers and see You guys.
Tom.

You can borrow our weather anytime! Especially the "lovely" weather that the North Bay had this week...Rain, clouds, a little sun (5 minutes later), then non-stop showers for 2 hours, then light clouds with a hint of sunlight (etc.). I hate that weather!!! All this technology in the world and nobody can figure out how to make it rain only at night time, and all the other times make it like 75-85 degrees! Oh well, I bet the Sac. BOR is nice today though.

See, now that would be another part of my devious plan to control the weather....Make it rain on some nights, and make it snow on other nights (like winter nights when you don't have anything to do). I would really hate living in the snow (especially where you are! California's supposed to be sunny!) but at least you got a reason to snuggle with your sweetie!

Don't even get me started on the weather here! It's killing me! Horrible 80 degree day with lots of sunshine, not a cloud in sight, and tons of women wearing tank tops, short shorts/skirts, and pretty smiles....I HATE the "look but don't touch" policy society has established! Grin Where's the fun in just looking??? Huh Not to mention the fact I am indoors (like an idiot!), stitching up upholstery for my car while it's beautiful outside!
