Forecast for tomorrows racing action is SUN SUN SUN, a track prepped to the highest standards and cal look bugs chewing on the asphalt of Santa Pod.

Should be a blast, if anyone wants to come along to race or just watch some racing please do! Prowagen have put forwrd a £150 prize to the quickest car of the day, and there's a fairly varied field of cars attending in performance terms...

Who will be the quickest car on the day? I know who my money's on, but that may be club allegiance's for you. Come on Johnny, lets see a pb! 11 second REAL street cars are where its at  Wink just remember to take out the kiddies booster cushions from the back seats  Grin

And if you're feeling REALLY adventurous, come and sample a bit of Rennwagen hooch in the pits tonight.... I can't guarantee it won't blind you though hahahaha... seriously though if anyone wants to come down this evening many of us will already be there in the pits from around 4.30 setting up for tomorrow, if you wanna come and talk cal-look, compression ratios and cam choice or just see Peach running down the strip naked you'll be in for a fun evening.

Superbeetle73 had more than a chance, and took the win.... Well done Andy! You didn't give up and kept on til you got the time.

It WAS close though, Johnny's ragtop running deep into the 12's all day, but torched a head on a 12.158 run. Andy beat him with a 12.152!
