Got some great times at York Race today!

[Rich]

Will post pictures later on :)

Anyway, the NEWS IS

My best time was 13.22 to 1/4 mile @ 109.84 secs

AND

I came runner up in the Street War event - i got a trophy   


Really really please and happy... many were shocked how fast my car was... but myself weighing 65 kilos plays a big part imho

Do you have a private plate on your car Rich?

[Rich]

yes ?

[bacillus]

Nice one Rich.   

[andrewparker]

yes ?

Haha, sorry, I'm not being weird, I just saw a silver Pirelli drive past Friday before last. I was parked outside Wi'Bits on Leeds Road. I thought it might be you?

[Rich]

Might be me... where abouts is that ?

[andrewparker]

Just past VW on your way into Huddersfield down Leeds Road. There's a row of shops with a chippy on the end.

EDIT: Yep, was deffo you. Sweet looking car mate, really really like Pirellis.

The day was even more awesome then last time!  

Rich got some great times and most of my reaction times were spot on, my best being 0.68 but only got a best time of 17.8 on the 1/4 mile.  

My Mini got a lot of looks as well but I was the only Retro car there all day so they ended up putting me against subarus, audis, kit cars, land rovers and bloody dragsters.    .  




All 204 photos that I took can be found here and I will let Rich pick out his favourites - http://s690.photobucket.com/albums/vv265/Blackhawk47_2009/York%20Drag%20Racing%204th%20July%202010/?start=all

One of my favourites so far is - makes a great wallpaper!  




And some more of mine including the one and only 'Physco Rider'...he must have Balls of Steel...well rather him than me!  














350bhp Corsa - everything except from the engine, tires and exhuast were standard.  


Oh and this did the 1/4 mile in...about an hour!    


Rich winning his trophy for Sunday Street Wars.    





I also think my demon camerman skills are improving.

Great pics - Rich does look like a jockey doesn't he   All the better for weight saving

August 7-8 is UK Northern Finals and I think RWYB again so come on lads - sign up.

I thought he was massive, either that or that is the smallest trophy in the world.   

[Frodo-anni]

  well done rich, great to meet you.

I was there with my mates dad & uncle both running dragsters, Ian Lloyd in Gonzo and Spencer Tidswell in Problem child, both of them are insane.

Cracking day out, sorting plans for a weekend trip to pod.
