What a mental day, i got some good times in as i've never run before and definately raised a few eyebrows and upset some people!!
I think the first pic is of the abbey motorsport skyline, i must say DO NOT EVER TRY TO RACE THAT CAR!! FECKIN HELL!!!!!! 750 bhp and 10 second runs :O
Gonna take some pics of my time slips, best upset of the day was a 375bhp evo VI.....
There was a turbo charged suzuki huyabusa , i actually got caught dribbling!! Not many scoobs over but i made up for it
The white STI got some good times....

Firstly, my first run... Me on the right of course... mr skyline on the left

My mate didnt get to run in his gtir in the end which we were both pissed off about, his clutch master cylinder broke and he couldnt get any gears (not clutch at all!!) Can you believe that it broke in the BP petrol station just outside North weald
Most of the gtir's there were a bit dissapointing to be honest although i was told that the timing gear was not as accurate as it could have been i think the best gtir run was 14secs, and that was from 1.4bar and front mount etc etc so the time may be out???
I might stand corrected on the best gtir run as i missed a lot of them whilst i was waiting for my runs.....
Didnt miss the jet car though two blips and it was all over... but thats another story
