Default My day out

Arrived at my bosses house at some ridiculous hour in my Sh!tb0x Fiesta Runaround and jumped from one extreme of poverty spec car to Pure luxury, I so love this Landy.



Arrived at Pod and was surprised to see it so empty.





The main reason we were at Pod was to watch one of my mates Mark run his skyline.
















Some of the other cars/bikes throughout the day

















Our Pit area 8)





Few more of Mark running his car, I didnt get/many any burnout pics or of him launching as I was videoing it all day to monitor his launches







We left Pod around 2.15 after seeing Mark match his previous best time of 9.3 although we got a phone call later on to say he had run 2 back to back 9.2 second quarters

We made our way over to Hauser racing so Phil (my boss) could stop stressing and finally pick up his car :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

It really is a work of Art and is simply awe inspiring in the flesh 8) 8) 8) 8)























All in all was a great day with good weather and even better freinds

Good pic's mate

Haven't seen Matt and his mini for absolutely ages... Be good to have a chat again, heard the mini has a few more bhp than when I last saw it.

You'll have to come up to a meet in your fiesta and bring Matt along too... and while you're at it drag Smit along

I'm loving the fact the skyline has got a parachute but is still running a folding seat with harnesses. Nutter!

Looks like a fun day out, what sort of times did the skyline post? That mustang looks like it's going to be crazy,
