Jap Show (Santa Pod)
Another cracking event, i was gutted for Andy Forest who had to retire due
to a broken rear drive shaft.
The Skyline Boyz are still the ones to beat.
Did you see that bloody Camper van

Not a bad day !
We had issues in the morning trying to get to grips with the new triple plate carbon clutch, it really is an on/off switch results varied from loads of wheelspin from all 4 corners (and getting close to the barrier!) to bogging down on the launch. Despite this the car was leading the qualifying at midday. My best time was 10.12 which was the 2nd fastest time of the day AFAIK
Simon was also struggling with his new 70% of an evo but managed to get it together on one run and do an excellent 9.719 (I need to somehow find a few hundredths of a second now
)
For the 1st elimination round I let some air out the tyres, the track was freshly glued and I managed for once to get the launch spot on, the front end actually lifted (wheelied) off the ground by about 2" apparently 
however this meant that the centre diff transferred all the power to the rear end which was well hooked up.............resulting in a snapped rear driveshaft (heavy duty uprated type) I kept it going on 3WD in an attempt to salvage something from the run but that was me out as the other car crossed the line 0.5 seconds ahead at 12. something
We didn't stay to the end as we had a 6hr drive home to look forward to but as far as I'm aware, I ran the fastest terminal of the day at 146.85 which only goes to prove that Skylines and Evos are just underpowered pieces of poo

I stayed right till the end, Simon Norris didn't improve on the 9.7 second run.
In the final it was Gulli vs one of GT-Art's Skylines, and it was very, very close, but the skyline just pipped him by a knats ****.
Gulli's terminal was ~7mph faster though and he was reeling the Skyline in nicely, if the track had been just another meter longer he would have done it.....
I was gutted for you when that driveshaft popped though Andy
