Nice photos Boz :) I'll have to bung some of mine up later!

Great racing, pity about having a headwind knocking times down a tad (and getting grit everywhere, lol).

Thanks everyone!!!
My best distance time was 18.6 seconds but the best race i did was in the elimination round 1 yesterday - just because i beat John (the guy with the 68 dart) to elimination round 2. I got a 4 second head start and it was all i needed to beat his 440!!!

One of my not so good runs was when i got into elimination round 1 on sunday and was up against Dave Billadeau. He had to wait on the start line for 8 seconds (just enough time for a cup of tea! :D ) But he then passed me to take another win!!!

'Jerryatric' caught fire on the start line - fuel had spilled onto the exhaust pipes and caught fire!!
Plus he got a bit side ways on his first run on sunday - i was amazed he managed to straighten it up again - i thought he was going to do a 180 spin at one point!!! :shock:

Looking at one of the pictures of my car at the start line - i didnt realise it was that high at the back! Looks cool though 8-)
