thorn bush

[fester426]

Why is there a thorn bush at the 330 mark in the infield ,grassbank side......any ideas??????bill

[Modernpics]

thats the sacrificial bush to the gods of speed.
what you don't see on a wednesday before every one turns up, Ian Marshall takes a small lamb and offers it in a sacrificial fire the ashes of which are then scattered at the base of the bush as a offering to the gods of speed.

And so now you know the secret to the pod . . . .

I remember Alan Ritmeister lost his life driving the Rain for Rent dragster somewhere around that part of the track, it couldn't be anything to do with that could it ?

The great thorn bush thread has been removed from ukdrn [ cant blame them really ] on a serious note im sure it has nothing to do with alan rietmasters death all those years ago,that incident was further out,,,,,,,,long live the bush...............bill

Dunno

But had a bumper crop of Cucumber & Tomatoes this year and the Runners
have done well, just growing some seed ones for next year.
Something to do with grow bags and a Tomatorite dosing every week.
All grown on my patio...

Nice!

"Santapod news release

From the start of the new season (2010) all bulbs on the starting tree will be replaced by energy saving bulbs.

As these take 20 seconds to get lit up some adjustment in reaction times will be seen..."

Its no wonder people tend to think that drag racers are unhinged when s hit like this is posted on a forum. A realy poor attempt at humour me thinks!
