another cracking mopar nats thank again to all who organised this :thumbright:
wouldn't miss it ever, only time of the year I get to catch up with everyone on here.

Great meeting everyone

From turning up on thursday to laughing @ everyone getting soaked during the awards loved every minute of it



First band on saturday were good, girl punk band that followed wern't
Saturday night band was the best ive ever seen @ an event like this, well done, GET THEM BOOKED FOR NEXT YEAR

Good to see so many fast race cars @ this event & enjoyed watching the 'top sportsman' cars
GET THEM BACK FOR NEXT YEAR

Use fireforce to burn the drag race fairground ride that pounded my ears with crap music all weekend (but as said wont be in the show area next year) then in turn burn fireforce cos not just you Pete but twice I was almost @ the front of the cue & this thing came out
Racing on friday was great,no cue
Saturday afternoon cue due to the crash was the only bad point of the weekend for me.
Please let us have some rules for whats cars can run @ this event to keep the cue's down ie american/auz cars & race cars only
No motorbikes (sorry Bri) BMW's,astras subarus etcs all which I saw
life is not a spectator sport

I had the funest time ever !
Long waits were a pain but lots of you guys to chat too in between runs, that top fuel car was bloody awesum! ditch fire force That's a pain takes 40 mins to sort itself out !!! Proper top fuel car straight on with the job of thrilling us all !
The only real moan if any is the amount of glass on the ground by the big tent left from bug jam apparently , kiwi got a puncture from this on the Friday and it could have ruined his whole weekend I'm glad he was rescued , but a note saying no glass is not enough but don't ask me how you police it ? Respect maybe ? Missing in some that attend the bug jam I think
Thanks dunc for fuel pump which got charger home !
Sorry I never got to race your daughter saw her first run looks like she had fun ! Lovely to see everyone what fab weather !
See you at hrd x

Just to add my thanks to everyone involved - especially those who organise it all and those who bring along their cars (of any standard/spec/speed) as without all of them, us 'viewers' would have nothing to entertain us. =D>
Special thanks to Rich for the comfy sofa & bed & Budgie for most of the food (especially the scratchings).
Also, I agree - What was particulally good this year was giving the racers that showed up from the ranks of pro et, super gas, street eliminator and even a pro mod etc a session of bracket racing and a quick 32 to have a go at - most entertaining.

Cheers to all & :occasion5: to next year.

Phil.
