Lee and the crew make it as good as possible, Lee did the track prep for EBI2 and will be using the same glue. Oh and I meant how many of you guys are bringing cars? You bringing the 65? Or will you be testing something new? Rob. |

Either way your bound to win the trophy for quickest German car. |

Either way your bound to win the trophy for quickest German car. Same motor just a bigger turbo and carb also have a DTA setup here which i will be put in over the winter. As for quickest German car i need to get to the end first and with my luck that dam hard. I could hope for a good start then roll the rest of the way. |

Was a good meet on Sunday we had 135 cars registered to drag, not a single AC VW though wich was a shame but I suppose Bug Jam was on! We did have an AC Flat 6 in the form of a late 80's porka.
Plenty of action from the Jap guys and some tidy V8's up there, So there will be some good competiton for the Aircooleds Next time!
Lee was proudly flying the Chimay banner at the track too which was given to him by the EBI crew for the track duties there.
Hope to see some of you there next time, I will probably be in the hut punching in your race numbers!
Rob.

I think the best time was by a 4wd Skyline he ran 7.2 in the eighth, equating to an 11 sec 1/4
Next meet i will get my laptop hooked up to the portatree so we can have stats after each event, at the moment we just print out timing slips.
Would be great to see your car there, but if its not done will still be good to see a you up there.
Don't forget theres trophies for best burn out and best reaction time as well as best apprearing car on track and of course the best times etc.
Rob.
