Event Coverage

2006 FIA Main Event
Run What You Brung (pre-event test)

	This Barracuda is very rapid, just as a muscle car should be.		The black and flamed dice which match the Nitro Harley's paint scheme were bought for Ian Turburville by his daughter Laura.
	This tidy-looking Cortina Estate carries the name Guinea Pig Racing and yesterday was recording effortless twelve-second passes.		Crunch picked up the front wheels on yesterday's second launch in Martyn Jones' Super Pro ET dragster.
	The Veidec/Landmeco trailer leaves no doubt in which class Håkan Nilsson is competing.		Jeff Thurston must hold some sort of record for RWYB attendance: you go to an event and then look around for Jeff.
	Laurie Bamford lives very close to the track; yesterday he went home during the rain, only to return in time to get in this wheelstanding pass after the track was dried.		Our mistake yesterday, here is Leif Andréasson's real Top Methanol Funny Car in its new colours.
	Lorenz Stäuble set the quickest and fastest run of the weekend on the Fat Attack Supertwin.		Martin Curbishley was into the sevens again in his single pass in his Super Pro ET rail.
	Pro Mod racer Mats Eriksson kindly allowed us to publish this unique view beneath the rear end of the Green Goblin Crown Victoria.		In the past week yet more new tarmac laid in the pit area and there is more to be laid this week. A new Family Camping area has been opened beyond.
	Ray White ran under power to sixty feet yesterday for his first Pro Mod licencing pass. Ray told us that it felt fine.		Steve Green made a much-anticipated return with his Super Pro ET Cortina but had to sit and watch the rain today.
	Ian Turburville has today worked on the exhausts of his Supertwin to cure the bike's persistent drift; this is yesterday's launch.		The Fat Attack pit is nicely laid out and you could eat your dinner off any surface.
