That'll be me.
Rain almost spoilt the fun but stayed mainly dry.
Better tyres for next year though.

When I emailed at the start of the year, they indicated road, and road legal tyres only ? Although in photos there seem to be plenty of cars using the likes of drag radials etc ?

Just couldnt afford to make it this year..maybe will do next year. But it's a loooonnngggg way to go for 2 runs lol

You get a practice and 2 runs on an MSA license
On the tyres I've not seen anyone even take a look, so largely good to run what you like.

They told me 2 runs on MSA Nat B license, 3 runs were the Nat A and classes seemed stricter for it ?

TBH I couldnt get any really straight answers, but then seems par for the course when MSA are involved...just look at the blue book lol
Even a lawyer couldnt understand it.

Are there any links to results ? How did you do ?

Last run yes. Was looking to be a better time but had a shift lever malfunction on that run (not enough RTV when replacing the shift knob the last time it was off + enthusiastic shifting into 3rd = unexpected detachment)
13.35 @ 177mph was best of the day but still room for improvement if I can get it to hook better out of the trap.
Just kept the mustangs, corvettes and vipers at bay, but the 4wd F-Type was too good at the launch.

[MadMaxHSV]

Suspect the trap times are not to be trusted either on that results sheet, with whole groupings of cars getting exactly the same speed. Looks like it hasn't always reset between runs.

I think this may be wrong cos at 177 you would be in the 9's at least

I keep thinking of going and then the next time i think about it is when results are thrown up

What sort of mods and power you running ?

[MadMaxHSV]

Err yes that's a typo 117 odd that should be, not that I trust the trap speed reading. But it was around that.

Mods are forged motor, heads cam and a TVS2300 blower amongst other supporting acts. Power don't know the final figure but ~550 RWHP based on early development dyno runs. Must make it back for a final run really.
