Quickest time 14.7 at 95. Something, not bad really for a diesel auto estate

Is it still the case of the usual people turning up in same old stuff like S3's, A3's etc nothing of any real interest?

That's depends on what interests you. For me it's the best day I've been to so far, the variety of rs, s, amg, m cars, porsches modded, mk1 and 2 low rider vw pickups and all things in between has plenty of interest. In the diesel class the days winner was doing 11 second runs. That's pretty good for a diesel! Certainly more to interest you than "oh look its a green focus" oh look its an orange focus oh look its a green focus oh look its an orange focus etc etc etc

Another drag strip day in the sun, quickest time 14.4 at 97.8mph.
Thought I'd jumped the lights on one run so didn't hammer it, went across the line 12mph less than normal and still got a 14.6...my rt was 0.041, if I'd hammered it I'd probably have got a 14.2
