Just been on eurodragster.com on the webcam from the test day and seen Richie Webb running what I'm pretty sure is a new personal best! Well done Richie!  |

Some issues when he shifts to 4th gear but dig this:
1.25
1.25
1.26
Unfortunately I did not get the 60ft on the last pass.
Really promising!

Well done Richie Looks like the time and effort you have put in to rework the rear end of the car has paid off. Wray |

Yes car is UK Registered, MOTed and Taxed, and tomorrow if he gets the little hicup in 4th sorted he will have all the power in 4th as well, drop the tyre pressure a little and HOLD ON.... Richie, well done i know how much you have worked and wanted this and with a little bit of luck on top of all your efforts you might just make the next step, TOMORROW.  All the best Team VW Gasser Garage. |

All the best Team VW Gasser Garage. So he's out again tommorow? Is Santa Pod open to the public or is it just testing only? Lee Lee, today was the pre-European Finals test day, tomorrow until Sunday is the Euro Finals itself. According to Spencer it's virtually all Sportman classes tomorrow before the Pro classes (FIA basically) get to have a go on Friday. Richie is entered in Super Gas, so he'll have to slow it down to 9.90, unless he moves up to Super Comp with the 8.90 index! I'm there tomorrow on a school trip! I'm bringing nearly 20 kids and three other staff for their first experience of drag racing... According to the entry lists, Rich Merriman is in Street Eliminator in his Beetle which I believe is a high 11-second street car, Nigel Green is in Pro ET in his 10-second 1303, and Russ Fellows is in Super Pro ET - this is for 8.99 and quicker bracket cars! |

Lee, it is the Euro Finals. THE event at Santa Pod! Well over 300 teams, Top Fuel, Lebau the 5 sec rocket bike guy, fire works and 5 days of racing. And I believe the weather forecast is really promising as well. You can find the program on the Santa Pod homepage. BB |

How cool is that? I wish I went to a school like that Rich Merriman won't be there as his car is still in bits  |
