Good call. I`m going to wait for the neighbours to wake up and then spend some time tuning my carbs.

They love a bit of moist weather do Webers. :)

Well it took us six weeks but we got there in the end. :cheers:

It must be 15 years since I last went to York Dragway and it hasnt`t changed one bit. No big sponsors, no health and safety, no nice toilets. Instead there is an atmosphere of domestos and rubber, pie and peas and fuel. Nothing quite like having your spleen massaged by a large V8 that`s 20 yards over there. :)

Here`sa taste of what we saw...

It hasn't changed in 30 years when it was Pennine Drag Racing :-)
