So are you going back tomorrow? I am! Couldn't make it today or yesterday, so hope the weather holds!
If you liked the fuel cars today, you'll love the 'Main Event' in May and the Euro Finals in September!
May I ask what it is that you're helping to build, and whether I would have heard of the team?

Not there today, family commitments put paid to that plan!

We'll almost definitely be at the Euro Finals.. (hopefully running!)

The car we're building is a rear engined dragster, 225" long to run in Pro ET.

The engine is relatively standard, but should still run low 11's to mid 10's.

We're bracket racing, so the ultimate speed isn't too important to start with, just consitancy.

The team have got BIG plans for the next couple of years, and ideally would like to get into Super Pro and keep on progressing.

The name... Chris Hodgkins.. you might know him from his sportsman ET days..

The escort estate was mildly amusing... but there for a reason..

The chap driving it has, if I remember correctly, a Top Meth car, but needs to run 6 runs in a lower class as part of licensing..

So they stickered up the Escort estate and set a dial-in somewhere around the 20 second mark..

He broke out a couple of times..
