Don't forget Wendy Baker's stellar 203mph run in the Timewarp Nostalgia Funny car

[peterwalters]

203?! wow, what ET?

Must be my paint design!

[Barry B]

Can't for the life of me remember Pete... a 7 oh I think but I'm ashamed to say I can't remember which is pretty bloody poor considering I was there and called the run, it was late in the day and to say I was completely 'dumper trucked' is an understatement bud!

[peterwalters]

Haha, im sure someone will have the answer on here!

Tom is a bit faster than alec,old age and a beer gut does that,,,i should know,,The only supercharged outlaw car faster was ians corvette at 7.55 i think,well done alec ,kev and tom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bill

Tom ran a 7.6 and the team couldn't have timed it better as they had their new sponsors on the property Kent carcraft, Classic carcraft and Unseen Projects. We had Tom and the md of the company in race control for Roger's afternoon run in Firestorm and he seemed mightily impressed with what he saw. We always like it when racers bring their sponsors up into the tower to see backstage and also see some action from up there, jets are always good for getting their attention and firing their imagination, throw in lots of mentions of who they are, what they do and who knows what good it can do. So.. if you have sponsors with you at Shakey, bring 'em up, give 'em the 10 cent tour and show 'em round.

Could be the Beer,the late nights and early mornings. But 7.03 springs to mind (waits to be corrected)

[Barry B]

You know I think you're right.. 7.03 @ 203 sounds right.. where's Paul Stubbings when you need him ?

Thanks Guys, had a fantastic weekend and thanks to Bill Fester & Mr Mental for building such a great car.

Check out the updates www.madrsdragracing.co.uk

and Bill, it wasn't the beer gut or being old, foot fell off the throttle due to violent transbrake launch, (excuses excuses)

Congrats from Germany !

I just looked at your website and -to me- it is quite hard to read,

with the text being very small AND red on black.

The photo of you could be a bit bigger.

I do not want to pee on your justified bonfire, just my thoughts.

Now the off-season is approaching, maybe time for an "altered" page update ?

Regards,
Benni

Benni, go to the Shytalker Gallery on the site, then page 4, scroll to the bottom and see the 2 new pics, click on either one then click again to see full screen.

As for the writing, I suggest a bigger monitor or better resolution.

I have to agree with Benny I'm afraid - I have a 19" monitor at 1680x1050 so have quite a lot of monitor and resolution but it can still be quite hard to read the text.

Congrats on the run though.

[fester426]

Kev or alec ,,if your reading this still,you need to do something to the wheelie bar before you go out next again,in the pics on your site they are clearly bending,,,,the venom car came to its end because the wheelie bar bent,,,bill

[madrs]

Okay, I admit defeat, I will enlarge the font but it does look fine on my monitor.

Bill, yes I noticed the bend in the wheelie bar and we will try to remedy.
Hoping to go to Flame n Thunder at the Pod.

[madrs]

For your ease of reading I have updated our website, larger font and in white.
The older stuff is the same as it was.
