I had issues, battery went flat and rear brakes binding but ran once, new best 11.31 at 119, with a lousy 1.69 60ft, through the muffs.

New slowest PB 25.65 @ 27.12mph

taking the long way up the track had problems all weekend had a 9.7 after backing off at about 7/8 track and 9.6 after backing off and back on it, got the hang of the burnouts didn't stall one, but don't know what was going on, the last time out car was arrow straight.
Highlight was Andy Frost wandering into our marquee on Saturday evening and advising me on me burnouts then Sunday telling me how to set wheelie bar height top bloke

best run was his 7.5 @ 192

Only there Saturday and managed one run. Couldn't face the queue again, even waited 20 minutes on the return road because no one could get back into the pits. Anyway, ran a 12.5, 3 tenths down on pb. One of the marshals said there was 260 cars signed on when he asked and there may have been more before Saturday was over.

My 2 runs were crap. No traction and missed a shift despite having a welcome push and good advice from Guy. Saw Pete on his fast run ssturday, well done, do like the car.
Felt bad for Bob, every time I passed his car in the pits there was work going on, then saw him pushed back from the line. Must be very frustrating.
Had a good time overall and nice to meet up with MMA people, but 2 runs and nearly £300 for the weekend..., might just bring the daily driver next time and enjoy our local 'private' event down here in Cornwall for the racing.

Only two runs here too, very over subscribed meet, in fact it would've been a brill meeting if it wasn't for all those blasted hot rods (

jk)
Ran a 14.7 then a 14.5, with a full tank of fuel as well! But really couldn't face the huge queue to get back on the strip & suffer all the stoppage time, so knocked it on the head & went pedestrian until home time on Sunday.

First run was an 11.3 @ 116 MPH , 2nd run was a 11.4 @ 120 MPH

, called it a day & had a condor moment for the rest of the night wondering what was goin on as the motor ran the best it ever has with no misfire ' the top end.
Still had'nt worked out the problem so upped the pills another 50 horses.............. sitting in the fire lane havin another condor momment , looked down @ the controller & noticed the dial was set for only half the spray

, cranked it up to a full shot & waited to do another run.
Dissapointed as the Pit only managed another 11.4 @ 128 MPH , was on & off the throttle from mid track right through the gantry , just would'nt run straight , got real Bananarama! off as i sorted the misfire problem only to have a traction issue to boot.
Ran arrow straight @ the Pod , don't know if it was the track or because i was using different front wheels (a fair bit wider)

Track was Bananarama!.
Thanks for the plug treatment (car went slower - "B" body sabotage ????)
