Anybody go to this on Sunday?

I decided to travelled down with my m8 Davy from Glasgow for this, about 4hours drive down and the same on the way back up.

Some amazing cars there as you will see from the pictures, unfortunately with cars pushing the very limits of the engines capabilities theres always gonna be a few cars that have problems. Ron Kiddel (R34 Skyline) never got off the line think it was driveshaft that broke. Keith Cowie(Skyline) broke something in practice. Norris Design Evo qualified for the final of the sprint and the drag final but failed to make the sprint final with some problem. He then gave it a run on the drag final but the car had problems and looked s**t. I was a bit pissed off as i have now been to 2 shows just to see this car run, and never quite seen it run to it full potential.

The air was full of the smell of burnt rubber and race fuel.

Not sure if i would drive down again for this though. 8hours drive in total And £20 entry . Im not being a tight Scot but most events held in Scotland are around £10 or £12 for similar action i.e (drifting, 1/4 mile, dance stage, ICE competition, stunt show and show and shine)

Overall though a good day, the weather was great but burnt me....i am lobster boy...AGAIN!!

That seems like a bit of a contradiction. Fastest and Jap crap???? hmmmmmmmm

jap crap does nothing for me i'm afraid, even if it does have 1billion hp

thats awesome. i expected driving upwards would be harder thus taking longer

Yeah that was a sweet skyline in the car park. Ive found out that at these events you find better cars in the car park than actually racing

Fastest top speed was Rocket Ronnie in the Skyline think it was 203.7mph but due to the stupid scoring i think Simon Norris won overall even though he broke his O/S/R driveshaft and couldnt compete in the finals of the handling course, and was rubbish on the shootout of the 1/4 mile due to snapped O/S/R driveshaft.

Here's the results posted up by Chris Mann on MLR

Simon Norris:
2nd Overall Handling
4th Overall top speed
2nd Overall 1/m
points total 25 plus 5 bonus for scoring overall on 3 events =30 and our highest ever total.

Top cars overall on points
Si Norris Evo 30
Rocket Ronnie GTR 19
Andy Forrest Subaru 15
Gulli Halldorson Subaru 13
Paul Blamire Subaru 11
Duncan Cowper Dax Rush 11
Joel English Dodge Viper 9
Gavin Renshaw Evo 8points
Jason Hulbert Evo 7points
Adrian Smith Fensport Celica 6points
Andrew Mercer Evo 6points
Jeffo Stokes Evo 6points
