That's no Boss 302 Matt :lol: probably just a 302 Coupe ;)

Saw you run though, looked strong 8-)

High point for me though was pretty much all of it, enjoyed being in spectator mode for a change. Great to chat to old mates who sadly I only ever get to see once a year at the Nats.

Other than that, the muppet staggering around the bar off his face trying to buy cocaine was most amusing, half tempted to nip back to the camp site & put some coffee mate in a poly bag for him. Luckily security scoped him early on, as they did with that pleasant chap (tattooed bonce & stripey top) who appeared to want a fight with someone (anyone it seemed) :roll:

I don't know my Mustangs very well, other than it is a 302 and a 4 speed.

This was my other good moment on the strip.

My best moment... getting home :lol:

Honestly though I had an ace time, met loads of great people and was overwhelmed by the help.
I brought a few friends to their first ever drag meet and they're ALL coming back again.

Just a fantastic weekend, I must thank all of the Mopar Euro Nats Committee for putting this event on and Santa Pod for the venue. The place was heaving from early friday morning..
We got there earlish about 15:30 on Thursday and left about 10ish on Monday. I only ran the car four times as I have a large bog off the line and my 60' times ranged from 3.1 down to 1.6 compaired to last years 1.46's at the HRDs and my teminal speed was down by 4mph so loads of work to do on the tunnel ram but I did run a new pb at 11.80 which was a little confusing. My best ticket of the day showed a 9.08 but seeing as I saw that on the board as I drove down the strip I cant claim it and no hope of backing it up :lol:

So highlight was running a 11.8 despite having no fuel as I crossed the line and have the fuel pump go up in flames whist in the return road but the low point for me was having to put DB on the trailer and take him off site.

Many thanks to Mick deacon for rescuing me from the return road and for Roger Luty for the loan of a fuel pump so I could race on Sunday :thumbright:

Highlight for me was just being there. The event itself is a highlight in the show season calendar, not to be missed.
