Was a cracking day, some mental cars there, did the nova from Belgiam ever run? It was parked up on the far side near the track wall and corsa c stand. Looked mental spec.
Even though I'm not a massive fan of in car audio the hertz stand with the astra on was unreal. Never heard any think that loud and that clear before

The Bulgarian carbon nova ran both days 10.6's with aload less power than it normal has.
Also pulled an endo a third of the way down the track Saturday when it miss shifted.

Blimey that is impressive didn't realise it was an n/a, the body work is unreal, they started it when I was next to it to move it the noise was immense. Sounds like they have a problem with shifting neat ruined that engine by the sounds of. Very impressive though

yeah mine done a 13 flat on the saturday night which i was very impressed with as it was on the stock ecu... sunday morning i got another flat 13 on the chipped one on the 1st run, after that i was getting 13.1's-13.3's ish and my best 60ft was flat 2's but heard quite a few people moaning about the 60 ft times...
ether way, i had a great weekend, fell flat on my arse getting out the dodgems saturday night, i stood up when we'd finished and my mate rammed me
that carbon nova was awesome.... bloody alloy stub axles and shit, got a few ideas from it. credit to them.
told me (before they raced) they not happy with it, had a few issues, got them sorted, and now its not running full power, still smashed their record
possy - you did fucking awesome mate, nice to finally put a name to face properly and have a bit crack on with you
ben c - cheers mate, top lad, cars spotless aswel - needs a bigger lump in it next :wink:
CorsaCal - yeah, when you where next to me in the ques before we went on and looked at me as if to say 'alrite' i was thinking 'i recognize the car but dont know whos it is' ahha did well mate. get them tyres let down a bit
dal - that things got some serious serious potential mate!! fucking flies top end once the boost comes into play. what 60ft's was it doing? get it away quicker and your onto a winner
cheers for the positive comments lads means a lot
wish it was a full weekend event again. there's not enough time to get around everything and speak to all the people

Jed D...fuck, your car is loud. Even if we weren't at the strip and were as far from the strip as possible, as soon as we heard the sound we knew straight away it was you.....again and again and again

No bigger lump for me Jed. Lol Not what im after out of this car. After seeing what yours can do for a fairly cheap build it is tempting to get a half sharp shell and try something. But just dont have the time or space. Lol

This all over. I could tell everytime even from the far end of pod it was jed doing his burn out. Haha Awesome to think compared to some of the turbo corsas and vxr astras that have had a fair wack spent on them.they still didnt run a better time.

I was against Jed on my second run and he did a 13 something. My best of 9 runs was 15.1402 @ 92mph
Now I'm extra gutted I didn't make it, gotta get in the 14's if you are finally gonna be beat me Cal
Will have to organise a mini CS RWYB again soon (with more that just you and me turning up lol)
Sorry I couldn't be there today guys, was gutted seeing all the updates on fbook and clocked a few cars on the M1 that had come from the show
Sucks you wasnt there dude! Was looking forward to having a laugh with you.

Another great weekend, good to see everyone again and meet some new faces. Despite the weather and wearing a hat all afternoon, I still came home resembling a beacon I think this had been my mildest case of Pod burn to date though so can't complain too much
I still hate camping though.
