Roger Goring has made some adjustments to the afterburner of the Firestorm Jet FC and it sounds brutal! Roger put in a couple of half passes and the team were very pleased with the outcome. |
|
This nicely turned-out Vauxhall Viva was a real blast from the past and ran arrow-straight even into the headwind. |
|
|
Lee Huxley in Top Banana suffered a rear axle failure at the hit on his very first run. |
|
Joe Stevens' blower pulley, seen here exiting his Wild Bunch altered in the burnout, came over to visit the photographers. |
|
|
Kev Mortimer strapped Terry Clifford in for his first run in Ratcatcher Resurrection, which was rebuilt by Eurodragster.com News sponsor B+J Race Cars... |

...Terry put in a couple of gentle runs to get a feel for the car. |
|

Chris Hodgkins ran consistent tens in the Direct Gas rail. |
|
Darren Law was one of a number of Wild Bunch racers testing. |
|

Dan Baldwin has a new engine in his Junior Drag Bike. |

The engine of Jake Carruthers' Junior sounds like a Harley! |
|

9.50 Bike racer Dave Burfitt took the chance for some pre-season testing ready to take on... |
|
...2005 Champion Fred Furlong who ran 9.7s into a vicious headwind. |
|
|
Wild Bunch racer Tony Smith again took the body off his Cunning Plan Wild Bunch altered and got plenty of air in the face with that and the headwind. |
|
Fellow Wild Bunch racer Steve Field was running low elevens in the face of the breeze. |
|
|
Holly Baldwin is the second of three family members on track today. We've seen Dan, Holly runs in VW Sportsman, and brother Ed is on the start line. |
|
Pro ET racer Jack Brewster took a wild ride in his Camaro, a great driving job kept it off both guardrails. |

|
Pete Kellett saw son Joe into stage and then Joe pulled a 0.010 reaction time. |

John Hackney as ever was running consistent ETs on his Supertwin Modified bike. |
|
|
Scott Collier as usual got value for money on his Junior Drag Bike, making several passes. |
|
Tyler Clutterbuck also made plenty of runs on his Junior Drag Bike. |
|
|
Jordan Keelan's very nice Junior Dragster has been imported from the USA and still carries its NHRA race number and tag. |

9.50 Bike Lee Baxter needed the stabilisers off the start line on a very cold track (measured at 7C). |

The Huxleys also have more than one racer on track; this is Mark Huxley in his very nice Astra van. |
|
|

|
Not Jeff Thurston this time but another smart blue Mustang in the Run What You Bring. |
|
|
Nigel Barker is on the seven-second 'Busa previously owned by Brad O'Connor. No sevens in these conditions but over 160 mph on one run and then a 200+ mph came up on the board when his opponent hit the top end refectors. |
|
Paul Hambidge went for comfort rather than aesthetics with his outfit on this Super Street Bike supported by Tim Blakemore Racing. |
|
|
The cooling system of Richard Colby's stunning Outlaw Anglia relieved itself on the start line and the car disappeared in a cloud of steam. |
|
Richard 'Boss' Hann was one of a couple of 200mph Club members to brave the cold. |
