I agree with Jay and Richie.

The place is a shambles.

They cram in as many people as possible, the 'marshalls' in the car park are 14 year old kids, costs a fortune (for what it is) it's a nightmare to get out, and that's assuming your car hasn't been nicked. Even the display cars get nicked now (Japspeed Impreza).

Of course the people on the gates/security know nothing about it

Last time i went (and last time i will ever go) it took me longer to get out the car park then it took to get from the exit gates to Gatwick Airport!!!

Rant over

Hi,

we have been invited back to the pod today (Friday) to perform again.

This time they are fitting an in car camera to catch the reactions of the celebs we are to take down the strip.

Yesterday Mikee managed a 9.68 with a fluffed launch and a 10.2 with a passenger in.

Should be fun.

Cheers
Kev

It was a bit of a let down today, shame about that
Got some good runs in yesterday though
Managed a 13.1 with 3/4 tank and a passenger
Should be good for mid 12s I think

I did beat the clinics car down the strip once though
And have the print out to prove it
