Good to see you today Scott.
The car seemed to be going well, just a shame about the lack of traction eh?
Roll on next year when I'll be in a position to play.
I'll get some pictures up later.

Right, here goes.
Not running this year meant I had the luxury of a morning at home, and no queue when I got there at 11.30.
The weather was ok-ish, mild but drab compared to visits earlier in the year, but it was good to see the normal mix and variety you get at North Weald, with everyday cars and bikes, to nitrous Hiyabusa's and twin turbo V8 Sapphire Cosworth look alikes. (Oh and Scoob's, Supra's, Evos, 200SX's and even an old Silvia :) )
The queue for the driving went round quicker this time, and I saw Scott's orange and white Tomcat from a mile off.
This year there were loads of interesting cars, but the highlights for me was a RB26 240Z (Home built too!) , a Hemi Jeep that posted 13.8 , the nitrous bikes, and the Exocet spec Caterham-Dax-Westfield in the vodafone colours.
Too many cool cars, I could have stayed there all day, but family wanting to go home meant it was all over for me by 3.30 :(
