Well, what a fookin fantastic day!

Such a great start to the show season.

Gutted the cossie wasn't there, but the MR2 did a nice 14.32 so I'm reasonably happy with that!

Knackered and sunburnt, and just echoing the sentiments of most people really - truly superb day

Had a great day too. First time up the strip and the car, or me, is sooooooo slow Got a tidy launch on the second attempt but then heard a nasty rumbling noise. I think I've shafted a CV joint or wheel bearing, so game over for the rest of the day. First and fastest time 15.1 Big up the stg 1 power

to the central group for a top day.

It started raining here around 7pm too, so the weather was actually on our side for once!
