[stevieturbo]

Good to meet you today Drew, not long home there.

Was a good day out, although quite surprised at lack of fast cars turning out to the event. Sun shone nearly all day, and was a good days racing.

Roll on 11th April !

yeah will be organised next time myself did u see that nissan gtr run it looked fairly new the boys in blue had the front gate well patrolled when i left

[stevieturbo]

Yea, the GTR is owned by Ernie Skillen. He also had a Supra there too !

he comes to most of Waynes events consistently runs mid-high 11's in the GTR

A few people mentioned about the cops hassling people,so I turned left and went the scenic route on the way home. Better that way too, was virtually no traffic at all.

Silly me never took many videos. Dont know why I always do that. I bought a damn sucker mount, and have only used it this once !!

Rear view on my first run with normal road tyres. Was just messing about as wanted to see if it leave lines for the entire 1/4. Almost did....didnt quite make it across the finish line, as it gripped once into 4th.

Run was actually something like 13.7 at 122mph.
Best time ended up at 11.47 at 143mph. No real traction available though which hurt ET's badly. 60fts were all around 2.2secs and 1st and 2nd gear all but useless. Did some good 2nd gear burnous though.....should have got those on camera !
