You do not know how much I wished I was there. Drag racing is by far my favorite and to have had a day out with fellow forum members would have made it even more memorable. Thanks for all the coverage. I appreciate all of it. JIM

Good to see members of the forum involved in this but people say that F1 is boring, please Jim.
Oh, I forgot, our cousins cars can only go in straight lines..........

A straight line is the shortest way between two points, why waste all that time to determine the fastest car when in a matter of seconds it can be accomplished?? JIM
Ever heard of for play Jim?
That's where you pay in advance is it not and we're off topic. The coverage was great by everyone so far and I look forward to seeing more. JIM

Thanks everyone for a great weekend. Special thanks to Tony and Gary. We really enjoyed it. Highlight for me was convoying from the hotel [emoji13] good to meet CJ and Gaz at last [emoji106]
Thank you for such a great day.. Had a bit of fun getting to the Tesco's too, but thats another story. Just very happy to have met a few like minded Z owners.
Looking forward to the next bit of fun.

Just a few photos of some of the other cars there. these always make me smile.
The B still has it's original dashboard as well.
Old style slingshot which had a good run with 177mph speed at the end of the 1/4 mile and I think 8.7 secs ET.
Who fancies sitting on top of a differential at those spreeds?
