Deanos sold it to Tim.

But its not running there anyhow now.

That list is gay, no idea who wrote it but its gotsome utter tripe in it. But generally the cars on the list are about correct.

Thats just the invited ones, i reckon there will be at least half as many cars again thats just as fast, a LOT of mental mental cars capable of 10s, 9s, and the odd 8

If i remember last years correct there was 9 different cars running 10s.
And that was all GTRs and 1 EVO.
This year theres even more GTRs more than capable, and a good few Supras, RX7s, EVOS, and even Scoobies that can easy or already have ran 10s...

Shame at least 3 of the fastest i can think of that id like to see run wont be there

From what i gather the Lemons not ready and the TopSecret one isnt in the UK yet.

No idea why Deano sold, my guess is Tim was there waving a huge wad of money around that youd be crazy to resist

Mate, try hang on this year, it was AFTER martin ran when it got good!

After that it was continuous 10sec runs over and over, every bloody time, was mental, didnt stop running till like 6pm and it was dark

They was ment to finish earlier but the people who own Santapod n run the timing gear was loving it soo much they let it carry on
