Birdman Chris said you were there but had left so I missed you Adrian.

Would have been good to put another face to a name, still there will be the Nats soon :thumbright:

I managed a 12.3 and a couple of 12.4's, best I've ever run with street tyres and the mph was back up where it was, around 116.
Dave Hoare's Challenger ran a 12.024@114 today, he's hoping to drop into the 11's tomorrow.
Last I heard from Jim (Challenger) was a 12.25. He's there for the weekend so there may be more to come.
Anyone know who owns the green '70 Charger?

Guess it might have been blue, just looked green to me :D . How did it run, it was running in the 14's on street tyres and full exhaust I think, then I thought I saw it go down the pits with slicks on and open headers.

Great to see Mick get a PB with a 10.3

He was chipping away getting quicker and quicker over the 2 days. His Dart was looking good and getting closer and closer to the 9`s 8-)
