Post by: Rich on July 04, 2010, 09:16:19 pm
Will post pictures later on :)

Anyway, the NEWS IS

My best time was 13.22 to 1/4 mile @ 109.84 secs

AND

I came runner up in the Street War event - i got a trophy  :signLOL:  :jumpmove:


Really really please and happy... many were shocked how fast my car was... but myself weighing 65 kilos plays a big part imho

Haha, sorry, I'm not being weird, I just saw a silver Pirelli drive past Friday before last. I was parked outside Wi'Bits on Leeds Road. I thought it might be you?

The day was even more awesome then last time!   :laugh:

Rich got some great times and most of my reaction times were spot on, my best being 0.68 but only got a best time of 17.8 on the 1/4 mile.  :drinking:

My Mini got a lot of looks as well but I was the only Retro car there all day so they ended up putting me against subarus, audis, kit cars, land rovers and bloody dragsters.  :evilgrin:  :ashamed:.  :party:

 :congrats: well done rich, great to meet you.

I was there with my mates dad & uncle both running dragsters, Ian Lloyd in Gonzo and Spencer Tidswell in Problem child, both of them are insane.

Cracking day out, sorting plans for a weekend trip to pod.
