Was a great day and some silly quick cars/bikes.Even a few fords there, including a red mk1 escort running a cossie lump on methanol! and a 1300hp cortina twin turbo which was fun to watch.Anyway heres a few pics






















Oh and my piston which came out of a 8000hp top fuel car which did a 4.62sec quarter today as a memento

That Mk1 made 444bhp the other day on PE's rollers, Wasn't fully run in/set up though!

What time did it do? Its meant to be on for high 7's/low 8's when done!
