One of the boys just phoned there saying they had put glue down but made it ever slippier because of the rain so if the rain keeps up they are moving lanes as there is a untreated lane with the glue & the rain its like ice.

Im really routing for Andy, not because of what he is driving or anything, just because out of everyone in the game, he is up for pretty much everything and always does well.
Just wish others like Martoon and so on didnt have such busy timetables and commitments so they could compete as well.

just come back and would like to say well done andy , but made me laugh when he left the line on drag tyres the car was jumping like a kangaroo trying to get grip , must also say there was no lighting the tyres like ollie etc just up to the line and go which makes his times even more impressive , i think there is more to come!
