Weather forecast looking ok, cracking entry. Should be a good one.
Did anyone else notice Steve Saunders is having a go in Flav's Funny Car?

There's a few bits still to sort, but yarrrrrrp, all things being well, we'll be there for a bit of Friday and the rest of the weekend, though it's more a case of attempting to get licensed smile.

Good luck Jon, hope you get the track time to put a full pass in over the weekend.

Hey Fella's, want to go tomorrow for the day never been before. Is there public transport to the strip or can you park on site? Does it sell out?

What a brillant weekend Andy Robinson makes Pro mod look like a bracket class and Belinda Bull steps up to the challenge in SuMo and takes the game to Nigel Payne. Roll on the next round!



I have thrown a load of pics and a few quick words up on my blog

Great day on Saturday, my highlights:

  • Felsted, Best and Lotsabeera altered sounded evil despite struggling to get off the line - teething problems I am sure we will see fixed soon.
  • Good consistent runs from Joe and getting quicker again nor, get back in those sixes!
  • Dave Grabham getting to grips with the new motor, a 6 can't be far away for you either
  • Amos in the 2 seater

Yep. For me it was the best sounding car of the meeting. I'm looking forward to seeing it on a full pass. Should be interesting...

My weekend started out terribly, with a bodged launch putting me over a second off my dial-in. The next two runs were better, but far from ideal, leaving me qualified solidly in last place. Fortunately, it all came together on race day, and I made it though to the final (where the car decided to step things up, and I ran my quickest pass of the weekend and broke out, despite being on the brakes through the top end to avoid doing so).

Great pictures Dom but an even better website; as I've taken a year out from racing I finally took my trusty canon and a sparkling brand new 100-400 IS lens upto the track yesterday to see if I could capture 'the moment'.

I wish I'd read your tutorials before I went lol

Definetly need work on my panning technique!
