Weel done and the best of British to ya.

Do us a favour, once you have done a few runs, can you pop back and let us know what it was like to run something that fast up the strip. Some specs on the car for the novices (like me) would be great too.

Always loved funny cars, but not sure I would ever have the balls to drive one.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I've always loved speed and I do have big kahunas.
I would really like to write in if you would like me to. It would be great to see you all at Santa Pod later in the year.
My 500ci B1 is all my work and I've raced it for 3 seasons now and I have not miss around of Qualifying or Eliminations, good testament for Mopar aye!!!
If you guys need any help I'm always around most of you know me anyway.
Good luck this year with your motors.
Paul.

Yes mate, it's flatter than a pancake. That's why I couldn't plan another show there this year cos it was due to be knocked down, just didn't know when. Elo has a new place over near Heathrow.
