was a great weekend & we partyed till the early hours

never bumped in to many people as we were in the fire up lane moes of the day

me & wenny shared the mk3 on the 1/4 today & we had a couple of issues with the heat affecting the electrics

i did a pb of 11.7 & on wennys last run of the day he got a 11.2 at 120mph thats 5mph down on the 11.0 run he did at central day

the mapping will be sorted next month then it will definetly be in to the 10's

bad weekend for traffic we sat on the M1 for over an hour on sat going down
they had to shut the road to land the air ambalace we think someone had jumped off the bridge on to the busy M1
what ever had happened the person had died
today it seamed like everyone decided to go home after the jet car & it just went to gridlock

we were in tibshelf services southbound at 11 then it was just past the miles of road works that we got stuck in the traffic

we could see the front of the jam but couldnt see what was going on & with all the ambalances & police that were flying by it must have been bad
