Hi Eddy, good to say hello. I didn't recognise you at first with no baby in your arms and the only headlights being on the car :o

Like the pun BTW :D

Gotta say guys I thought it was really well orgainised, admittedly i only saw maybe the last 20-30mins of runs but it all looked good.

Really good turnout for the meet as well, I just hope to have my car ready for a meet soon!

As i posted elsewhere-I really enjoyed last night,the bug has bitten now,and while the GTO isnt built for drag it might just have to be made into one.

Thanks

Stu,
Great report as usual and glad you took my lite humoured competative comment in good humour as i knew you would.
When you get a minute perhaps you wil give me a drag badge (1/4 mile only ok) lol. I was at the pod earlier in the year. I can supply a slip 8-[
Thanks

Great evening with great people can't beat it.

Thanks for the the welcome Stu, I'm loving every minute of it.

Have got the new tyres on today so maybe the burnouts won't be as big next time!!!!!

Looking forward to the drift night on my next time home.

I thought it was very well orginized and i agree with running it the other way round (down hill) next time.

Well i'm glad to say i made it home in one piece. That was a top night had by all ithink everyone will agree. Well done to the organisors at big power, snetterton and straightliners. I was very shocked at my fastest time (to say it was my first go at it) but there you go. I'll have to spend some money now to get some better times.
Anyway thanks again to everyone for making us welcome and hopefully see everyone again soon.

A well organised event as usual. A credit to all the BP team. :-D


I wasn't expecting to be anywhere near the times of the more powerful cars, but had bloody good fun trying!!!!

(Stu) Do I win a trophy for leaving the longest launch marks?

All in all a good evening, can't wait for the next one!!

Sounds like it was another good event, just wished that I lived closer so that I could attend these events :(
