it was a good day.

andys car was awesome and i think he would have done a lot better on handling if he had gone round a few more times.
looked and sounded wicked down the strip.

my god though-some of his entourage could seriously drink,dont think they stopped all day!..

shame about the top speed run after changing the box especially for it.

anyone got the full results as i left just before then end

They wouldn't allow the run because of the rain.
