Good day, got burnt!  Too many oil downs ruined the flow.  A lot of cars and some very good times.

Seconded, and it wasn't the VW's leaking as a rule either. Just got back to Devon so will upload some pics tomorrow!

Crazy McStairs was running low 10's but with some impressive mph figures, first run about 130 (Sure someone will have the exact times!) Seemed to be having issues launching smoothly, once thats sorted then easily into the nies I would think.

just got back.  Congrats to Lee Crofts into the 11s with an 11.98 if I remember correctly.  Also to Pete Shattock with 11.87 in full street trim.  Quality runs from James Wotton 10.33 in a crosswind and Jim Smith 10.9 at 78mph!  Was an issue with 4th so effectively a half pass.  Sounded a bit of an animal.  60foot pb for Adele 1.46 very nice resulting in an 11.27.  Shame about Bernie and Andy hitting the armco but both ok.

The CSP ghia has a fresh engine in for tomorrow after finding some issues earlier today. It fired right up and sounded lovely! Udo broke a rocker but luckily has spares so is also back out tomorrow. The track hasn't been in the best of conditions due to it bring a public track day and the crosswind didn't help! A good day though and everyone OK Smiley

bernie crashed, missed it as I had decided to go home (little one was getting bored), so it must have happened after 3pm.  Also heard one of the OFF spun almost hitting the car in the other lane!

Had a play about with a black and white film yesterday! (And yes I know I'm no David Bailey!!)



Cheers for slowing for this one Glenn!



Don't think Mr Lummus liked his photo being taken!

Bernies car settling after meeting the armco:


Emergency services doing a good job, wonder if Mr Newbury reached for his cigarettes this time!
