A lot of racers went round after round and you could really do a lot of runs if you wanted to. Price for most runs during the weekend went to a racer with 28 runs!  Not just fast cars, also some very very nice cars ran, amongst this beautifull Ghia:  Kalle did some high 10's on 'wastegate' boost, which on his case was 1.8 bar   All from a mouse 1641 cc... amazing stuff!    and with a good launch, his slicks got the perfect 'zebra'look:  Erlend's 10 second runs were also very impressive, as was his dyno run and the blown hose for the 'offerings to the....' shelf from a little too emthousiastic burn-out (iirc):   His all-face wide grin after his first 10-second run says it all I think. Well deserved mate!  |

Richie's winning run:  Rabalder's first ever 10-second run:  Somehow it seems that if you want to run into the 10-seconds, you need to come to SCC. Hmmmm,.... I think I have a date for next year  |

Even after all that, more was to be seen:   Lots of more really really old stuff was there:   I love low-lights as well:  and 412's (yeah, I'am weird, I know..)  and finally because its just such an awesome car to see and see it run:  |

Apparantly on facebook...  Story goes; Me and Walter was fighting some electrical gremlins on Saturday morning and as time went by we almost forgot that he had a date with a schwimwagen. So off he went with my daily driver and along with him was also my Simpson Hybrid and one of my driving gloves. Little did I know that he enjoyed the water so much that it took two hours before he was back. So what else could I do apart from taking a nap. -BB- |

That gives opportunity for some many boat anchor jokes |
