Second run? Only had chance to do 1 as we had a bit of a trouser fiasco (best not to ask, although it did involve a Matalan carpark for 45 minutes!) That run was a 14.2 @ 101.33mph.Just about to do my next run and the heavens opened. 13's a just around the corner.

Same fiasco with the trousers...shorts are dangerous in motorsport obviously....

I only got one run as well, bogged it down to get a horrific 60 foot time of 2.68 secs but pulled in a 14.66 @ 101.81 mph.

Low 13's should be very easy if the launch goes well.

I think I'll dump all the crap out of the boot next time as well. I even went down running the aircon and listening to music...excellent!

Bit disappointed that it started to rain and they stopped us....it would have been even more entertaining going down in the wet...

Emergency services weren't entertained when I done an 80 mph powerslide down the escape road at the end though!

Cheers, Eric
