Lets hope the weather is better Sunday, my lad has gone for the weekend and there was no track action today because of rain.

His Auralis blue RS2000 is on one of the stands.

I saw that Zafira, did it have a green manifold? Saw it do a low 13, surely had to be same one, was same colour, and its not the kind of car you see loads of at the strip?

My mate got an 11.2 @ 139 in his Tigra on its first time out.

Yeh has a odd coloured manifold, Chip knows a bit about it as he did a feature on it I believe, I think the owner also has a Corsa.

Is that Danny ? Who's was the white Tigra there today ? I didn't go but had reports of some fast Vauxhalls

Did you see the supercharged one ! apparently it wasn't all that

Yeah that Nova looked mad, but was about on par with a valver TBH.

Yeah it was Dannys white tigra. I'd actually gone when he ran, the strip spent half the day closed due to random crashes.

AH ! Danny who has the bronze one ? wasn't there a bronze one there as well as my mate said he saw one and assumed it was him and was convinced the white one was Speckys. Didn't make any sense at the time but it does now.

Great result though

Yeah there was a bronze one there, with even madder tyres. Can't remember what that did but it was quick.

Didn't see specky run, or his car anywhere

Yeah he scrubbed a lot of speed off!

The RX7 who crossed the line at 134, seems ok then boom straight into the wall. Odd day for stuff like that happening

Bronze Tigra is Sams, his brother had the yellow mk2, both 2L 8v's and has run a 10 I believe

I heard Chris Impeys orange RX won the event as he bagged Ł500, real shame about the GTR, some serious damage by the sounds of things.

Was up there with them & my mate Steve's monster spec 200SX... Only done 3 runs if I remember rightly, first one was a 12 I think, second run it got out of shape, and 3rd run the RX7 hit the barrier in front of it, backed off and done an 11 at 98mph I think.

Decided it wasn't worth sticking about after that so packed up and went home
