Yeah packed! We had a photographer meating us at 11.30 so we decided to go sign on and get a run in at 9am then that would give us 2 1/2 hours to get our cars clean! Well signed on at 8.30 was at the front of the queue and the norris designs evo had spat a load of oil down the strip sat night, they decided to leave it till the morning to clear it up! 11.30am the strip opened it took them that long to clean it up Think there was a back log all day becouse of that!

So gave us 15 mins to get our cars clean pmsl

Then alex blew a water hose off late afternoon and managed to shut down that lane for the rest of the day So they was only running one lane lol
