yeah this year the weather has bee so un-predictable its not funny.
the up side is we had a near perfect day today weather wise, unfortunately some of the cars wern't so good.
v6bucket broke his slave cylinder bracket in the first run so that was the end of his day, my brothers nitrous VN V6 only got one run due to a corrupted tune and us chasing our tails for half the day till we realised it was the tune.
Thankfully due to v6bucket being out but having qualified my brother was able to slot into his spot and got one run in the eliminators. we had no idea of what the car would run and had to pick a dial in, so we said 8.0 and it probably would have done it, the brother was flustered from getting the nod to run about 2 seconds after getting it back off the trailer and then having to roll straight into the staging lanes. Anyways he had to chase down a 10.2 i think dial in, he ran a 8.9 with a botched start and only just got beaten!!! I was hoping he'd win it so then he'd get a second eliminator run!!!
the gemini had no issues and ran consistant 8.3 and 8.4's and got pipped in the second eliminator before we ran out of time and had to get off the air field!
was a great day and well run all things considered (weather etc) i totally enjoyed myself but feel really bad i didn't pickup on the tune issue earlier so the brothers 4 hour tow and entry fees wern't so wasted but we'll try and get down to WSID before too long and get him some track time!
