Hi Steve
Yes mate that is indeed my car , didn't get much chance to get the roof down ,bit chilly .Sure was dirty by end of the weekend though. Had a really good weekend , first time I have ever been to an event quite like this with so much going on ,and yes Steve the interior on the Camaro was just great but I also really liked the '64 Comet only saw it run a couple of times.
Fantastic display by the Spitfire , top fuel action , jet and rocket cars, funny cars and so so much more ,hats off to the Pod for such a full on event.

I didnt know it was you I spoke to on Saturday Guy..sorry. I bumped into you as we were squeezing through the fence to have a look at your car on Saturday. You were in a hurry to get to the action (understandably). The Cougar is gorgeous!!

It was a good event but a little tame to be honest as the top fuellers were just testing. The FIA main event is better as it counts so the cars go for it to the 1000 ft (4 ish sec)

If the weather is good, its a must see really and the pit action between runs is awesome. When they run and get back to the pits, the engines are stripped down by the time you get round there from the banking.

All the other classes are mega competative as well and great atmosphere! :thumbright:

cheers Steve :thumbright: =P~
