oh well...

[Upatdawn]

I was gonna go to the Main Event but theres only one nitro dragster entered

sigh

[Upatdawn]

lets hope anyone who doesnt realise not to rely on the entry list (as of today) when booking flight/ferries/accomodation or buying entry tickets in advance

thats all

"mum, dad, can we go?".............

YAYYYYYYYY

im a winner!

[Upatdawn]

I was only joking, Ive seen entry lists evolve upto meeting dates every year, it wasnt anything we worried about pre-internet....lol, oh the excitement of opening a program (paper type) to see the 3 fuellers doing a round robin....1 of which was firefly...

[Upatdawn]

Version 5 today then

[Upatdawn]

up to two fuellers now......then again its over a month away, I hope all those Scandanavian's, Swiss and Maltese find ferry spaces...

am i still a winner?

lol

[Upatdawn]

I only threw the bait out at the start to see if the fish were biting....lol

[Upatdawn]

must be the biggest AAFC entry for many years

HURRAH!

[Upatdawn]

so...... No UK involvement in Top Fuel then? thats sad

[Upatdawn]

Q. Looking at the current entries..

TMD (FIA) 2 cars

AAFC (non-FIA) 6 cars

if that continued when would/could the FIA decide AAFC should become a "pro" class?

(and yes, i know things can change in a heartbeat....)

Will TF be running over the 1/4 this weekend?

has its been said, no, over 1000ft, but AAFC may well be, someone will tell us

not sure about TMFC, TMD and Promod, id expect 1000ft to become the norm before long, for the FIA/Pro classes

Roll on the weekend, could we get that elusive first 4 second 1/4 mile pass in European funny car, turn up and find out
See you all there.

do you think its possible SWMBO broke her metatarsal foot bone just to get a plaster cast and stop me going?...

A plaster cast shouldn't stop her..

I could vanish out the back and shimmy over the fence but she can see the car from where she is

pass the cheese......eeek eeek eeek

[Upatdawn]

Would it surprise anyone if the ruling bodies decided all "pro" FIA classes should be unified at 1000ft though?

[Upatdawn]

Was nitro banned in any way following the tragic crash of Tony Boden at Hockenheim in '86?

[Upatdawn]

wasnt the "Jade Grenade" also a Daimler hemi on nitro?

russ carpenter?
