We had a fantastic weekend. Well worth the four hour drive. We've had some good laughs, loads of sun and beer, met lots of great people, had a ride in a helicoptor and a monster truck and seen some pretty awesome cars. I'll put my pics up tomorrow. Cheers to all of you for making it sooooooo good : 8)

Great weekend.

Stayed till 6.30 to watch all the pro finals. Fantastic 4.9sec/293mph run by Andy Carter to win Top Fuel. Not quite as good as his semi final 307mph run.

Very hot on today on the posh seats. Glad I wasn't sat there yesterday.

Clear run home, no bank holiday traffic thankfully, took just over 2.5 hours.

Great Photo's Muz jr, your "a chip off the old block" (as they say), when it comes to the quality of your photos. :wink:

Welcome to the forum. :D

My brother has been a helicopter pilot all his working life, I fly gliders, and STILL I've never been in a helicopter :(

Ok, here we go. I must apologise for us being lightweights and only turning up on the Sunday morning, but we still had a great time. The Jrs had been before but it was an ‘experience’ for Mrs Muz :lol:

Arriving at 8am, we soon got settled down, Muzette didn’t waste any time tucking into someone else’s breakfast :roll:

Beer – So much more than a breakfast drink :shock:

The Bongo enclave..... :D

So, what had we come to see?

Image
The yellow cloud of exhaust fumes – tear-gas :shock:

Image

Image
0-300mph in under 5 seconds – you know it makes sense :shock:

A few more pics of the cars, after all, that’s what we went for although some might suggest that I only went for the beer – but that’s a different forum :lol: [-X
