I watched Mick on the web cam also, i must admit and call me thick, i thought he won in the 1/4 or semi final, the times said he was quicker but then he lost on something or other, anyone help me with that?

Saturday only for us and a long wait in the rain. Eventually, it dried up and a round of 8 cars for the Superstock class took place. Naturally times were 0.2-o.3s down due to the track conditions.
Rose took some shots, a few are attached. Looking forward to the Nats now, let's hope the weather improves.

Mick done you mopar boys proud,,,lost by about a bumper in the semis to Ian Brown(355cuin Chevy),,Dan Williams won with a 396cuin ..We have the invite from the Pod for next year,,,So are you lot gonna let the Chevys run this ,or are you gonna actually race HEADS up?????Yes i did run straight and yes i did forget to take my finger of the two step button ,hence the sixty foot at 2000 revs

Was a great weekend ,eventually

,Car ran straight and was as safe as houses....But i had trouble with the gearbox which turned out to be lack of fluid....Tried to get fancy in the frist round as i guessed my only chance of beating Mick was on the line..So engage two step on pre stage edge foward into staged and let go two step button,,,let go the button ,,,LET GO THE Bananarama! BUTTON YOU BALD HEADED TWAT ...and that was that

i dont know how mick has not put that car in the wall his burmouts are abismal and then seems to hang around an age before getting on the tree the slicks must have a not got hot enough and b cooled down by the time he stages,no wonder the car wants to drift here and there,
i may be well out of line but no way do them tyres have enough heat in them to hook properly
well done on nearly beating that other guy,
over to you mick

The winner is not the driver with the fastest time. It is the driver first to the finish line.

Ian Brown has been racing longer than anyone...cuts a light with a knife....But Mick almost got around him....Great race
