just like to say me and missus had a cool day yesterday,the convoy on the way up was quality all the guys were great and it was cool to meet some of the scoobycity lot,i also enjoyed my run on the strip even though i was so nervous on the first run i stalled it and got a huge roar of laughter from the crowd (which was nice) NOT!!! but then i redeemed myself on the second run with a 13.2 at 104 mph and a third run of 13.5 at 101 mph and slaughtered both my opposition , so i was well chuffed. would like to here about other peoples day , i hear tiny did a 15 sec run was this your best run tiny? were there any other runners on the srip?

Nice one Adam. Think I saw your missus running down the strip. You should be pretty happy with 13.6.

Hi Tim,

Good to meet you and the missus on Sunday, shame we could'nt drive straight into the SIDC stand and had to go back to the gate to get the ticket's.

Saw your first run but you redeemed yourself later on.

Good to see that Ross got talked into a run, you tart!!!

See you all later.

Jim

I think that any car that does a 1/4 mile in 15 sec's or below is good. Low 14's are even better. Well done.

Richard.
Saw you walk past while we were queing for food, shouted but you didn't hear. A 13 ish sec time is what i was hoping and as you say, i'm happy.

See you soon

Adam

I'm a bit peed off, 2 hrs drive there, 1 hour que to get in and buy that time there were no tickets left to run my Scooby and what pi55ed me off even more was that it was a Jap only meet and you still had people in Saxos running [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I have run a 13.4 before with 265 bhp, I now have 300 - 320 bhp depending on the rolling road and was hoping for a quicker time, possibly in the 12's.

Colin.

14.2 Was my best time , Missed 2nd gear twice on that run as well, Was getting to excited about rinsing Robbroy, As i could see him in my rear view mirror, Then there he was along side then past me just before the line setting a 14.0 with a 1.40 reaction time!!

Great day must do it again, Was like jelly on the 1st run, Nearly stalled it as well

I must say it was a shame have a a few non Jap cars running.
It was supposed to be a JAP CAR DAY.

I have no gripes about the camper van as it was for a bit a fun and made everyone smile !!

But to see the audi running wasnt on, gripe over.
They should grow some trees as well !!.

Hi All

Thought the Camper Van was great --- what time did it do..?

Did not get a chance to see any of the racing - too busy working..

A very good show !

Cheers

Robert
