Jon Webster re-entacts one of Friday night's rolling burnouts in Wellingborough High Street. |
|
How low is Danny Cockerill's Pro Mod? Pretty damn low! |
|
|
John Spuffard clocked a splendid 5.392/260.06 in the Showtime Fuel FC, on a soft set-up and shut off at 1200 feet as the finish line reflectors loomed. |
|
This vintage bike sounded as if it was running a light Nitro load. |
|
|
Nick Moore had his hands full as the boost came in on the Super Street Bike, but he clocked a PB of 8.380. |
|
Dave Holland got back on his old Super Street Bike in preparation for the Brighton Speed Trials. It was like he had never been away... |
|
|
Some precision adjustment was obviously required on SPRC's Junior Dragster! |
|
Wilf Stacey ran a best of 9.298/144.65 but his reaction times came on a calendar not a timing slip. |
|
|
Regular RWYBer Jim Beck was testing his Super Steet Bike, surprisingly equally regular partner-in-crime Phil Pratt was not running. |
|
Ade Lockley turned up after lunch and ran nines in the stiff breeze. |
|
|
Gordon Smith staged pointing at the 330-foot reflectors, but went up in smoke at the hit of the throttle to the relief of the timing crew. The car launched fine on the next run. |
|
It's on display, so we guess it's a Fast Car like the sign says. |
|
|
Dave Bryant praying that Gordon Smith didn't have a curry last night. |
|
Stephen Moon took time off from working Dave Beck to oversee testing of his own bike. |
|
|
Gordon Appleton hit shake off the line, a door departed followed by an entire wheel and the Camaro spun into the guardrail... |
|
...Gordon's left rear wheel appeared to have failed. |
|
|
Mark Fisher picked up where he left off at Hockenheim with a string of low eight-second passes |
|
Lance Richards' Pro ET Capri makes regular appearances at RWYBs and was clocking RTs in the 0.0s. |
|
|
John Walden had Brian Pateman along to help out and ran a 10.119 with the gas on. |
|
Danny Cockerill lost his best run of the day to an over-eager departure. No timing slip and we hear a holed piston. |
|
|
Roger Goring strapped in and ready to check out the Firestorm Jet FC. Roger ran a pair of very early shut-off sixes. |
|
A very patient Wayne Nicholson finally got to show us his new Lucky Devil 'Vette and it was well worth the wait. |
|
|
This beautiful pair of Dodge Chargers made your Photo Editor go weak at the knees. |
|
In the space of five hours this area went from empty pit space to a fully-built grandstand. |
