Presumably if you're driving round the track you need a crash helmet? If so, can you hire them up there does anyone know?

Where were you Salsa & Wanted?
Not too bad a night - did the 1/4 mile runs (my first time and awaiting results thru' post). There were a few Scoobs there but a Skyline took quickest 1/4 with a 11.2 (he had NOS so was always going to win it - yawn yawn)

Marv, I was there. I got there about 8pm, Watched the cars on track and then went inside. I saw Peccy taking his car inside but couldn't find you. The quater mile times were b@ll@cks though, and the track session seemed a bit too short. I'm glad i didn't pay £25 for that.

Question

Heard the first session of 1/4 miles were on the liberal side - second session better although those who did the first session were moaning they couldn't match the times on the second !!
Fastest in Group I (NOS, Turbo, 4 wheel drive, etc) was a NOS powered Skyline.
NOS cars should be in a separate group me thinks - any opinions?

Should have been a separate Scooby section - not appreciated by the Maxpower brigade!!
Pity we missed each other Wanted, Salsa. Spent most of the night with SpecialX and Bru555. Me and Bru555 did the 1/4's which was the highlight of the evening.
Don't think I'd go again tho'
