pod is too far away for it to be my regular drag strip. saying that crail is a good 160 miles. ive not ran at pod. best time at crail was 12.1 @ 129.3mph other week.

todays poor show update.
got a new valve fired into the tyre. put green front wheels back on again. yoko's are crap them 539's. no good for that car anymore. then went to my mates for a brew and several smokes and made the rear light loom up for the car when its on the dolly
then went back to mine to load the car up for tomorrow. going to crail again try and beat the 12.1. probably wont, but its fun. after we had fired car up on dolly, me mate slick the fonz decided to re-wire up the towing loom again, so now it plugs out vectra into the dolly. now all the lights on the dolly and back lights of the corsa work at the same time. quite cool. cant miss my brake lights or indicators now. winner indeed.
im now going to cook some chicken fillets in breadcrumbs and some chips.
