Nice one Gerry :thumb:

The competitor list is now up on SN now with all the people who have paid up and sent in the form.

Just 40 cars on there last time I looked, presumably more will sign up closer to the day. :?

Might have to make my statement a slightly more conservative one though, knockouts look a bit of reach, think I got carried away :oops: Only managed a best of 12.03 so far.

Looking at a few tweaks which should shave a bit off that, but high 11's looks like about the best I'll manage this time out.

I managed a 13 something last year. First 1/4 I'd tried and on a very wet track. The car was rather skittish on A048s :D

As for the handling pond, forget it :o

:lol: I'm running on R888's now, so if it is a handling 'pond' this year I'll be giving it a wide berth!

Is it just quarter mile stuff? I'm not too fussed about that. Will there be some corners to go around?

Last year there was a handling circuit as well, so I presume there will be one this year too :)

Do you have to do the drag racing or can you just opt for the handling circuit?

I think you only get a limited number of runs on the handling circuit. 3 springs to mind for some reason :?
