I am giving this a miss tomorrow. Personal reasons. If anyone wants it at this late stage then the place is theirs.

Sorely tempting, but I really can't.... I can;t to the extent that I came down with a pig of a cold on Friday morning but it didn't kick
in properly until Friday night! 
Spin 'er off Well...

Hell of a day!  The track eventually dried out, and I dont think there were any serious "offs". Got away with using slicks
all day, they were a bit iffy first thing, but performed OK on the damp track.
Big thnks to Mike and Peter fot the organising.
Took a load of pics, a few here..

Paul, the yellow Westie had a supercharged busa on board.
Made for a fairly rapid car, when it was on song.
(When it was off song it sounded like a bag of hammers!)
Thanks for organising the day Peter / Mike

It went quite well didn't it! 300bhp or there abouts. Luke Algar (Dad Nick's old sprint car) driving it on track for only the
second time as far as I know. Did a good job keeping it tamed I reckon, and was picking up speed towards the end of the day.
The blue Westy in the vid is Pete's old car, he said it was kind o' sad chasing it round the track, knowing it wasn't his any more..

300bhp,looking at the size of those tyres must have been a real handfull around Teeside.

Yes, I think the arches can accomodate considerably wider tyres!
