Good day I thought. Even the rain didn't spoil it too much, unless you were trying to take your car down the strip

. Good to see a few of you again too.

Anyway, here are my pics.

Btw, thats me in R8 on the 2nd/3rd row

Was good to meet you mate! Glad you managed to get a run down the strip! I was abit dissapointed with my 15.6 considering i got a 16.1 in my old standard fabia vrs last year!

However, i'm putting it down to a couple of bad starts, crap in my boot, rear seats/seatbelts, spare wheel and anything else that could have slowed it down

good to finally meet you too, looking at the pics dan took & the sounds my car was making on the strip it was clearly wet & greasy, we were both looking for much better times & im sure next time we will get them, i was talking to the guy in the golf i beat on the first run and he was saying that after the weather the track would slow us down alot, plus should have let the front tyres down & pumped the backs up, also a few other things..

so we both have plenty of excuses!

what did you get on the last run?

Apart from the weather, the day was pretty good! I know alot of people have said it was rubbish, but i enjoyed it! Good company, good cars, good atmosphere! So the club stands were a bit packed, and stopped letting club stand members in because of this, that was a bit of a downer.

Anyway, my better pics. i hadn't taken many until i went and looked at the strip in the last hour! Apart from when they were prepairing to run the jet car!

I haven't taken lots of photos, a few from our club.

Anyone got a video of my car doing the run?

P:S : If anyone comes by other photos of it please let me know.

ah that wasn't an R32, it had all the badges and bumpers but was actually a diesel

quite quick though but in my eyes, he shouldn't have all those badges on it!
