I was walking by the TTRS OC stand just after 2 of them had come of the strip, pissed off that they were only getting 11.8s  :rolleyes:

I was pissed off with 12.5@112......for me the launch area wasn't properly prepped!

Great day though and Stave Jr finally managed to break into the 10.s with his manual Porsche 997 Turbo with a 10.81@133.

Some of the show and shine cars were mentally clean and some great mods out there at the moment.

The new venue could have done with being tarmacced, but other than that and a bright red tomato head I can't complain. :cool:

Sorry i left early Screech, wanted to come see you on the 1/4 mile, next time mate. My best was an 18.28secs so you would have thrashed me anyway!!!  :embarrassed:

Just to top off the weekend my rear wheel arch spat came off on the M6, literally rusted off! So now ive got a rotten wheel arch to remind me of the weekend as well!

Gutted for ya mate how things worked out for you and your family,i just hope it don't put you off going next time, just keep that beer cool mate lol,

Sounds like you need to practice your launch ,I thought a chipped valver would do a bit better mate,i had accelera bugets on the front and lowered the pressures to give me a chance but it was still spin city!

Found a pic of yours (with trim) about to smash a 400bhp tiguan ha ha


I take it you didn't stop for the trim!

I don't think it was the cars fault the times were low, think its me! definatley need a bit more practice.

I didn't stop for the trim, wish i had now cus they are £20 delivered!!! and there were loads in the autojumble while i was there!!!

Wheres the pic from? going to upload a few of mine when i get chance, that was a v10 Toureg, i got a good look at the back end while hes was thrashing me! My other 2 runs were against the REVO Scirocco demo car, so it didn;t get any better either!!!  :grin:
