I'd love to go, but without a trailer its another £250 weekend.
Maybe early days, but just checked my surf/weather forecast for the week. Massive high pressure should equate to dry weather and cool air across the UK.
Go boys! :thumbright:

I made it for the weekend, although Sunday was chaotic, queued up for nearly 2 hours to do one run, so decided to call it a day after that one. Think Adam & Alan may of got 2 runs in ?

Saturday was less busy, new rims, slicks & the recent new shocks seemed to have made a world of difference, nice going straight down the track, without getting thrown all over the place.

I was having trouble getting the car off the line, partially down to me not doing big enough burnout & motor rpm dropping off. Managed to run a best for the weekend with a 9.12 @ 150.62mph, 60ft was 1.42. So all in all, quite pleased, no breakages & at least I'm starting to head in the right direction.

Was looking forward to the night racing. as track was open till 9pm, but was pretty cold & didn't fancy chancing me luck on a cold track
