Nice, any videos?

Racing a 9 second Vauxhall Viva estate running through with a 10.4

Loads of footage of it in this video of when we travelled over to Malta last year
Ended up winning the 10.5-11.0 bracket class running a 10.6 in the final
In 2008 we won the Open 2 Class which has some seriously quick cars in
Including a 8.5 second cossie mk1 escort and a High 8's Low 9's Cossie Fiesta

I have fond memories of our family friend Steve Green racing your Dad in his 100E, his Pop and then the Rover.

That was a while ago now and I must of only been about 14 or so when your Dad sold the Rover to Murray.

Unfortunatly i wasnt born to see these cars in action
But ive seen plenty of videos and pictures
Ill have to scan the pictures in the next few weeks and post them up in the drag racing room
