    Well what a weekend with a great turn out, plenty of volvo track action and a great social evening or two. I'd like to thank all that attended to make it such a great event where records were broken and PB's smashed much to my delight. It was also a pleasure to finally meet Tim Williams and have him present when my 15g powered car smashed it's way into the low 13's with a 13.4 second run @104.3 mph terminal PB and then backed up with further 13's runs, pics and vids uploading at present and will be here soon

    I wish, then I would have done it last year, just been progressive improvement, chipping away one mod at a time and the new afr gauge has really helped and pin pointed that I was over fueling to compensate of the air flow and charge improvements. I could possibly sqeeze a bit more with 4.4ecu mapping and possibly a larger maf......nice to hear from you though, pity you weren't there to see it and you'd have loved the black cossie that was running.

    Yep we need to give it a god farewell, I'm thinking beating Woody with a 15g would be an amazing end to our shakey time and a few fireworks etc.

    Was a cracking weekend.

    Epic night on the lash on Saturday, finishing with myself and Adrian still going at 5 on Sunday morning
    Followed by Sunday funday.

    Was an honour to have my arse handed to me on a plate by Adrian on his record breaking run.
    I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I collected my ticket afterwards!

    Well done Matey

    My favourite vid on your channel (apart from this) is the one where the derv shows up that black MR2 lol
