was a wicked day, the weather was spot on (fookin cold, but no rain and lots of sun)
some fun cars up there (Turbo VW Beetles the old style ones), when they launched the front wheels lifted 
some big power skylines running in the 10-11.5sec area...
saw Corb and Co...
daimo ran a 15.56 sec
Mattb had a reation time of....................0.003    
JEDI or what
all in all, a damn good day, although my face may have frozen up 3 times

15.5 in a 2.0 16v corsa is shocking

if i didnt miss second on every single run i reckon i could have run a 15.2, in stead of my 15.7

I went POD today! Where were all the Corsa's? Probably in the hoomongus que! Ive only ever done 2 x 1/4 miles in my life and they were today at POD. Best run was 2nd and I got 16.4 in my 20XE 5door with a reation time of over a second I can only blame the booze lastnight. Didnt even get the stupid light sequence thing! Can't they just fit it with a trafic light (3 lights - red amber green) for me as im a bit better with those.
