Hot Rod Drags 2008...
Discussion
I imagine some have woken up this morning thinking that drag boat racing is an exciting prospect, however - the 20th NSRA Hot Rod Drags takes place this coming weekend.
Weekend ticket price £30, more details available on Shakey's website (this includes Friday noon onwards).
The racing aspect including the NFAA, 1 Nostalgia Funny Car, 8 Supercharged Outlaws including 2 Nitro Slingshots (myself testing, Nick & Sue O on static display and some warm-ups), Outlaw Anglia, The Gasser Cirus and a (approx 25 car) cackle fest on Saturday night (as in not daylight, details TBC).
Being the big 20th, a lot of additional attractions are being arranged, and the HRD's is always a fantastic event anyway.
No, it wont make up for what the Euro Finals could have been, but for anyone wanting a day or 2 of nitro and methanol fueled, nostalgia full spectacle, it'll be worth it.
See some of you there

Im going friday night for the whole weekend. I couldnt get to the nostalgia nats, so ive been waiting since last year to go and the time is here again. 4 days Hope everything works out ok meaning the W word as its hard to beat sitting in the grandstands with a bag of 
watching the supercharged outlaw / anglia then watching the rods racing down the track all with the sun 
blazing down on your bonce 
Hope to see some folk there. It would be good to put faces to names.

Ta chaps, and to Adam for the video (will upload it to my website in a bit). Was nice to catch up with Mr. Frost and Slinky especially.
A huge thank you to my crew; Bill, Johnny, Dave, Hazel & Luke. Also to Nick & Sue for borrowing loads of their gear, and to Mr. Stubbings for loaning us some air
Seeing Excalibur in the metal, with Ray Mumford's work now complete, it's a work of art, and a credit to Nick & Sue's hard work and devotion to building a quentessential fuel slingshot.
I best get the paint brush out shortly
