Default Classic Ford today

Was a blinder!! top 1/4 mile action.
the turn out this year was mental!
which did mean it took me 2 hours to cover 3 miles into the pod, which pop my fans fuse, which then led to some extreme engine heat which split my header tank! lol all in an RS ownership day out.

anyone else go?
