Just got back myself, was in the white nova with black wheels on the back,

I run a 13.4 best and a 13.5 then 2 crap runs but equalled my PB so I'm happy enough.

Scotty run a 10.5 @ approx 136mph just before I left, watched it launch of the start, insane although he gets no traction whatsoever in 1st, its definately got a 9 in it but needs to get soem grip first.

I think it was the NMS MK2 running, didn;t see it runa 10 but I didn't show up till 12 so maybe it done that before I got there, like at the Central Day though it was flying and once again has made me want to get my car finished asap.

good day all round, some lovely cars on show, plenty of people there too,

What a brilliant day.

The blue Mk2 definitely stood out, in the 10's with terminal speeds of 120 or so, what sort of HP does that have ? As has been said, it puts it down so well !

The A1 Fiesta was phenomenal and obviously has more to come, 0-130mph in 10secs just puts this in another league when you look at performance 'road cars' such 360's, Gallardo'etc. Unbelievable.

2 of my mates got PB's, Chris in the 'Armstrong' MK2 Escort dipping into the 13's for the first time (275bhp 3.9V8) and Toby in the mint green Mk 1 Cortina, pre x-flow, achieving 13.3. Well chuffed and nothing broke !

So many fabulous cars, the Southend based supercharged Mustang was a beast and the Sit up and beg Ford Pop also did itself justice.

Thanks to the lads in the Moonstone G.reg Saph who led us in in our black RS500 after a 'short cut' through Bozeat didn't work !

It does go well...once it's moving. I can't get used to launching yet, and prefered to 'gay it' off the line.
