I,ve just got back and i disagree, there was a few quick saffs today, some good terminals too, a saw a nice Moonstone one do a 12.3 @ 121, that,s not too shabby.

Tims NMS Escort did a high twelve @ 120 + also...


Day was ok i thought, good to catch-up with everyone again...

surely it was worth going just to see beefy in his outfit, looked like he was enjoying it a bit to much.

I agree with the too many non fords up the strip.
I couldnt give a fuck how fast a shitvic type R is. On classic ford up the pod they only allow fords up the track as its what people have paid to see.

Booked stand space for 30 cars...... Fortunatly only had 22 as we hardly had room for them!!!!!! Parked like fooking Tescos carpark they were so squeezed in. Felt sorry for the stand next to us they had more cars and less room so parked a couple with us.

Not impressed at all with that part of the show but the rest was the usual...... spot on imo.
