Talking to Spesh today and considering the success of the last weekend we were thinking of combining this Avon Park event with another Birmingham night out and hopefully the unveiling of Speshs monster!So is anyone interested in a night out and then a day of fun with fast cars and hopefully a bit of sun this time?

For all you heathen's out there lol.

Easter Monday is a Christian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian) holiday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday) celebrated the next day after Easter Sunday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Sunday). Formerly, it was celebrated as Easter Week, but was reduced to a one day celebration in the 19th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century). Celebration events include egg rolling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_rolling) competitions and dousing other people with water which, at one time, was holy water (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_water) used to bless (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bless) the house and food.

Please Note: Holy Water doused on the the 4 Horsemen is not recommended lol.

We used to do a lot of "weekenders" and I am sure we will be seeing a few more of them this year, we had some cracking times pished as farts the night before, me ringing round all the boys in the morning to make sure they were all up (we stayed in a cheap but very cheerful hotel) and then down to Santa Pod still half cut!!

weekend events are great, they used to do them at Crail with a cruise type show the night before, then back to the wee village (airfield is just outside it) for food and lots of drinking in the pub and b&b, they put a stop to it though as the locals were getting annoyed with all the rowdy outsiders making noise in their quaint fishing village lol.

One night we ended up drinking with a group of lads form ireland who were over to do a drifting display, called "opposite lock", and we were so ill the next day, theres a video somewhere of me racing my mate in his skyline, you can see the lights go green and literally count the seconds in the pause as the two os us try and react lol.

what a night at stratford while camping last night, Tonna Tuning was on form and simply made the night there. if you was at the bar there last night, then you may have noticed Tonna Tuning (understatement of the year lol)

today was pretty good too, saw a few volvos running there, guessing some off here, though i didnt actually meet anyone, just saw them from the grandstand.

feeling a bit spaced out now though after a mad night, long couple of days.


AND SPESH, WHAT HAPPENED TO LEAVING TO GO TO STRATFORD AT 12:30pm THEN HEY??? i blame you entirely :troutslap

had a nother good day down there. was good later on about 2ish not many cars left runing so just driving back to the front lol my best this time was 14.7 out of 9 runs worst one 15.00056 most in the 14 sec must be getting the hang of it now :B_steerin

Rufe
Monday 17th April 2006, 20:31
Is there a video this time?
are you on about the Tonna Tuning at Stratford video? if so there should be mate, we have lots of footage, but need Cool Tony to edit it together now like the last one... i am so hoping certain video clips came out, will be sooo funny :D

did anyone witness the jet powered go kart? was an anti climax to be honest, but fair play to the death wish driver.... this go kart had never been driven before, EVER. it had only ever had static testing in his garage, but no one had ever tried it out, and this was his debut. they allmost wouldnt let him run, but wehen he did, the first (and only run i saw it do) wasnt too clever, seemed to have some problem and just about made it to the end. sounded nioce while firing up though, there is potential there for an insane little motor

madness
Monday 17th April 2006, 20:53
i got a whole stack of 14.2's today . most @ 102mph. i did beat that purple gasser replica second time around though and a v8 cortina. :B_steerin
