Yeh just back...

Tim made 5 runs, slippy as fuck. 13.5 or so best I saw...
Very very fast corrado.. he did a 12.5 - V.impressive- VR6 turbo

Sorry to Danny B I was very rude and didn't even say hello ( I came over while you were with Karl and Tim.

I think Fletch did a mid to high 12 in his escort cos too..

Rest was pretty pony to be honest.

Oh what a fooking day iv'e had

Well it all started last night practicing my launches for today and the clutch started slipping so I had decided not to run the strip today
So my intention was get up at 7 am set of to the pod in the escos in a lesiurely manner to (SPECTATE) I might add and get some pic's of the day but @ about dinner time it when't horribly wrong the few mates that you as normally would invite out for the day start egging you on you know you wanna take it up the strip to which i hastly said NO I DON'T the clutch ain't right but then what happens these two fokking horns grow out of your head and you give in pay your money and end up carrying out a txt book burnout to start and then blowing the fooking clutch to bits and pieces so all in all a fantastic day NOT!!!!! will get some pic's up soon photo bucket is slow
