Evening Gents

Just got back from a very warm Brunters today, must say thanks to the chaps at Fast Ford and a rather happy snapper that wanted smiles and teeth to all the shots.

My plan today was to drive up to the venue and then drive home after, taking the twins with me.

So after Paul and Rich set some very good times considering some of the past events I've attending with breakages it really was a sound day.

The two Red Festa's were a credit to the owners and ran faultless all day time after time.

Times for me weren’t any major improvement on the past and thinking about getting home I was happy to do a couple of top speeds.

First one was "I thought" 183.7 and the second was 183.6

Done one launch with a 0-60 in 5.00 I've already done a 3.99 in the wet and a 3.71 in the dry, and I think it was 0-150 in 20.22 but I can't remember to be honest.

Best thing is the buy the mag next month when it's out and there was a few other car’s knocking about one from Reyland
