Christ they seem to be flying by ! - i must be getting older smile

Cracking event & weather was kinder than i thought it would be when looking at the forecasts a few days beforehand especially the saturday which in the end wasnt bad at all - the s pod micro climate made the difference - must be the nitro in the air.

Some cracking runs & classes & just great to see the place busy at the weekend.

it was great thanks - just great to get some proper seat time, we will now throw all concentration and effort on the 350.
car was running very very rich to play things extra safe 9almost to the point of misfiring) & we gently leaned it off during the weekend - we would have been happy with a 7.5 but the 7.3 was a bonus.

best 60 foot was a 1.05 & interestingly the best the americans ever managed was a 1.04 throwing a lot more boost at it then we did at the weekend - we only went to 1.8 bar & it will take a hell of a lot more than that when the time is right.

gently gently now & next year & learn learn learn - not after a one off headline 6 & then nothing - consistent 6's is the prize.

nice to see the car performing so well John, shame I got shut off against you - would have made a pretty cool photo with our cars being totally opposite ends of the spectrum

Yep. But on the bright side, you did a burnout to be proud of! More of the same next time please :-)

Just out of interest, does anyone know the attendance figures for the Euro Finals weekend? I thought Friday was well attended considering the most people should be at work. (I hope my boss isn't reading this!)
