Putting that new lens to good use. 8-)

Love that one of Jem. The many faces of a racer. Guaranteed at least one like that at every meet. :D

Yes Rob :D You can get some nice shots for down there, but I made the mistake of wearing some long shorts on the saturday and by three oclock the back of my legs were red raw and all blistered :roll: I made sure I was covered up on the Sunday but I only had some black trousers and a black t-shirt so I cooked well ;)

Excellent shots Guy.

While you were roasting at Shakey, we were roasting in Brooklands...great to see Mick's Dart grabbing some air, that's hooking up good and proper!

Didn`t get there ... still got too many " issues " with mine

The engine and box are out now : new convertor, flexplate, freeze plugs etc etc then can give it a proper run


Good times on the Dart Cliff :thumbright:

I was on a good run against Cliff but had to get out of it because the car was our of shape, it was a new best 1.41 60ft, i reckon it would have been a 10.20 pass in 80 degree heat, next run which is the pic that Guy took, i had a bit of misfire so it only ran 10.91, so i called it a day but good weekend, met all the usuals and a few others as well.
Just to say, i think Cliff's car has got a 9.50 in it at least in good weather.
