Absolutely awesome Matty, surpassed any TOTB for me. So many well built and driven cars, to the atmosphere from being around familiar faces was a pleasure to attend

It was a great day, I kinda echo what Banny has said, TOTB is a hectic day but today was a relaxed well organised and i hope successful for the charity...Looked a decent turn out to me... Just a real shame it had to under those circumstances, Met up with some good friends and came 10th overall so i had a great day

"Did i say i`m still on the standard turbo and top mount...cant remember"

Was a great day today,well relaxed atmosphere and catching up with old friends whilst meeting new ones.
All the cars were on form and to a high standard.
It was unfortunate to have an event under the circumstances but I think I'm right in saying Simon would have been proud.
I got a few photos which I'll try to upload in a bit.
Massive well done to everyone who organised the event and all that competed

Totally agree with the comments re TOTB. Today was just like a massive group of mates all having a banter and fun. No ego's on show, just respect. The smaller crowds made it great for spectating and just a better enthusiast atmosphere.

20 cars running sub 12's was impressive considering burnouts were banned too.

Awesome day for me, the last shoot out I attended was back in 2011 when there were gail force winds!!!
Yes it was a shame to reflect on the reasons for the event happening, but equally I think that made the day that little bit less competitive, I'm only saying that because my jdm white hawk went pop :-(

But was my first time doing ¼ miles and absolutely loved it!!!! Very addictive!!!
I'm off to save for the rebuild ha!

Bez was supplying dodgy driveshafts to all and sundry.... (joke !).

A great day, as said Simon would have loved it, and was sadly missed.

Good to see his project car run as well !

I agree was one of the best days ive ever had there. And ive been going to elvington for a long time. Personal best for me doing a 10.98 in a car which still had full interior jack sparewheel. Having never done handling circuit before got a 25.69 after only having 5 attempts. So all in all very happy with myself and my car.

Glad the cars ok Matty, after that aborted run and rescue from the end of the 1/4 mile it didnt look good but saw you back out there later in the day

Should definitely be a yearly event, a sort of pre-totb shakedown.

Some epic banter going on throughout the day and brilliant for enthusiasts like me to get close to some serious machinery.

Very good day all round, good to catch up with a few people, & put a few names to faces.
The blue Hawkeye SVX is Donnie Campbells, was a full build thread on 22B for it a while ago.
