One for Mr Black:
The only grey running was Spanners’ Cutting Loose HAMBSTR:
Small HAMBSTR field of only two cars, but great to see the grey punishing the flathead-powered opponent
Spotted an older lady running a beautiful green two-door Notaholden (&*#@? Willys? Should have taken a photo). 80 years old, her first ever pass. 17 seconds, and grinning like a Cheshire cat. Great people to talk to.
This was in the pits, but didn’t come out to the staging lanes to play. Any idea whose it is?
Made a qualifying pass and beat a SLR, then waited for the racing to start. Thought it was Chicago Shootout, but ended up elimination. Into the staging lanes, acres of old cars… except the Nissan Juke they paired me with, dialled in at 15.4. Figured it would be shameful to lose to the Juke, so leant on the wagon. Hard smokey burnout most of the way to the tree. Wound it up, tree flashed down, Juke left the line, and I sent it.
… a little too early. Red-lit. The kids are never going to let me live down loosing to a 15 second Juke. The shame.
Cheers,
Harv
