Great weather today pity about the crash and the oiler , however got another PB of 11.69 so very happy

[Paul Bahnstormerz]

Nice to meet you Russell.

Was a good day, shame so much waiting thanks to the oil everywhere, Stitch Up and the Tar Babe looked fantastic, good to see Richie after all these years away from the scene, picked up the bits I need, spoke to Cotsweld. Will try and figure out how to post pictures later 

[Russell]

Paul and too you too, sorry if I was distant I was in dream land most of yesterday 

A nice picture of Tar Babe beating Stitch Up off the line for at least a second !

[Paul Bahnstormerz]

I have some photos of that, and various other ones  I'll send them over later. Need to get mine on the road ASAP, Yesterday just confirmed it's been far too long

Lee, that would have been a good pair you and me 11.82 and 11.69 at 113.5/116..... maybe next time, I also run a 11.86 at 133.55 and 11.73 at 116.6, so we would have been very close

cheers

Hi Russell,

It was a fantastic weekend - we had our first time out with our street '67 with the little (1641) motor and squeezed a 16.9 out of it. The track staff were great and the atmosphere was brilliant. Full marks to everyone involved!

[leec]

Very cool car there

[jamiep_jamiep]

Great seeing so many cool cars there,in particular for me pushing the Tar Babe through the fire up lane was a bit of a 'pinch me' moment.

Did anyone get a shot of Tar Babe running against Daz Chandlers Nova? Although the Nova took the win (its a 9-second car on a good day), as startlines go, it was an amazing sight, straight out of the 70's. Would love to see one. Maybe have to wait for the mags to come out I bet Julian got one or two....
