Had a great time tonight (even though I was scared I had blown my clutch on the 3rd run :evil: but thankfully all is fine :grin: )

And I got my sub 14 sec time I wanted (13.95 @ 99mph)

Thanks to the organisers of the event-good job :thumb:

Things is now im addicted to this stuff now-I was only going to do 2 runs but did 4! :D

A BIG Thanks from me - had a cracking time even if I did set a new personal drag record for clutch slip in 4WD :x - pulling the fuse cured that a treat :wink:

yup, had a great night tonight :)

Did not quite run what I wanted to, and had a 'little' problem on the start line - but a hammer fixed that one :oops:

Well done organisers, when is the next one? and can we have more time please :wink: :lol:

Sorry for not getting to chat to some folks.......

Looking forward to seeing some pics, and vids I hope :twisted:

Had a good night. Said hello to a few people, I now know who Rolty is now :grin: Saw JJ, from a distance but didn't get to speak, did see the new car close up and it's real nice 8) maybe next time :-D Good to chat with Darkstars & Liam too, both with nice cars.

Maybe next time we could find a flat strip of tarmac in Norfolk, as if there's a shortage of flat, that was more of a hill climb than a drag :-D

Gerry, you looked awesome going up that hill (yes, you were right :) ) - fantastic launch and lightening gear changes ending up with a superb time of 12.5 Top marks :notworthy:

A full and complete list of times will be posted later by Stu - he has the timing sheet with times for each run.
