Dipped in to the 11s for the first time and chuffed :)

Done a 11.2504 in front of the pit, 106 top end as the DEVIL FISHED TAILED BEFORE THE GANTREE:oops: . I Made a mess in me pants and fitted a full race harness As I HAD VISIONS of hitting the wall :cry:

I saw that run, the car snaked from one side to the other and I thought you had lost it.

NPB?
I have got to say that Julie ran a 10.38 at 133.63mph. I am so proud of her. That's a BIG step up from a previous of 11.8 secs at 117mph.

I think she has done brilliantly, and we should give the gals a bit more encouragement on the board!

Also big respect to Roydon who NPB'd at 10.38 as well.
All that and picking up a trophy; well done, mate and thanks for all your help over the weekend, also to 'skin and slick, and of course Ronnie :thumbright: :thumbright:

Stonking weekend, the best event and certainly the best club!

I agree, great stuff Julie :thumbright:

To go from 11.8's to 10.3's is a great achievement in the motor & chassis department. Full marks go to you & those involved in getting you there :thumbright:

13.6 @ 104.something, last run Sunday, after a bit of a burnout (line-loc decided to work!) and driving it off the line giving it the beans soon after :thumbright:

by Gas for GOSH
Got a new PB - 5 hours 55 minutes :thumbright: - that'll be the quickest I've got back to Cornwall. I know my Charger won't do your strip times but she went 650 miles on 154 litres of fuel so 21 to the gallon and not losing a drop of oil or water is my personal best :)

Nice to meet you all up there. My son Josh and I had a great time as usual. Many thanks to Ivor for letting Josh pick the winning tickets - he only just managed the heat - and to the whole organising teams of the Euronats and the MMA for a terrific event. We will be sending a write up and pictures to Great Ormond Street Hospital as our next visit isn't for a couple of months. Any publicity the MMA or GOSH gets is excellent so well done all.

Cheers

Simon and Josh 8-)
