I'll be there Mandy Going to the southern Jivers car show at checkers for a hour or so beforehand then we will set off and hopefully get to Avon in time to put the tent up. We will be camping in the pits look out for Shortys hotrod (Ford pop) or Blown Hell (M2 cortina)..or the little Minx of course I'll be beering up with those guys. I'm sure you will be more than welcome to come over and sink a few with us! If you don't find us look for the guys who have seem to be dancing way too early in the evening in the clubhouse!

Wooo Hoooo!!! what a awsome weekend one I will never forget! I did my fist race down the dragstrip in the hillman and I won 2 races! 21.4 seconds! not bad for the little minx. Such a rush I'm hooked still cant stop smileing Hopefully there will be some photos on the net soon of the event as my camra broke but I did mange to get some from a pro of my races. I even managed a burnouts in the old girl great stuff!
well... we didnt end up going, decided that the zephyr needs time spent on it, got the roll over frame in place and we`ll be getting it on its side this week so Fly can do some welding. we did that to my victor and was so much easier to work on. Shame we missed it, but we`ll be at the supernats next month.
Shame you couldn't make it mandy it sure was a good one! Well I managed to take photos of my photos so here I am in action! SCREEEEEECH!! BROOOOOOOOM! BAAAAAROOOOOOM!
Well Once you get your car scrutinised.. they just seemed to make sure nothing is leaking or things wont fall off really!
You must have a helmet an overflow catch can of some kind from the Rad ( I just used an empty can of beer with cable ties!)
You must wear something long sleeved.
Also must have full drivers licence.
I had a fire extinguisher but they didn't check it? But I'm guessing you will have to have one.
And ofcourse seat belts.
You gotta give it a go mate it makes you feel so great what with everyone watching and the adrenalin Kicks in and... well you've just gotta try it bloody fantastic!
Nearly forgot! track fee was £20.00 not bad for a day you will never forget!
