Test and Tune
Sunday

	Ian Turburville and his team prose proudly with Mr Spokehead, Turbo's stunning new Supertwin Fuel bike.		Turbo's first burnout on the new bike.
	Wild Bunch racer Alec Coe got into the eights in his blown-alcohol slingshot.		A nice burnout from Super Pro ET racer Derek Flynn, but the Gold RV Racing rail had a little too much power for the conditions.
	Conrad Stanley is driving Trevor Graves' Honda for him.		Also in a new car is Conrad's daughter Anna who has moved up to Junior Modified.
	Clare Giles went through everything one last time before venturing out onto the track...		...and together with sister Rachel successfully licenced for Junior Dragster.
	9.50 Bike racer Ady Reade of Team Lawbreakers ran deep into the nines...		...Lee Baxter also of Team Lawbreakers told us that this wheelie caught him by surprise.
	Funny Bike racer Chris Hall ran a 7.5 backing off very early and also clocked 172 mph.		200mph Club member Copperhead made several runs with fellow Club member Woody crewing and his last run of the day was a 9.748/143.80.
	Luke Bennett made three runs in his nice-looking new Wild Bunch altered and got a good feel for the car.		Dave Cherrett was taking it easy in his Super Street van, and the fuel smelt very sweet!
	Jimmy Hibberd was keeping us entertained with storming burnouts and not-entirely-straight runs.		VWDRC VW Sportsman Champion Paul Herbert got in some pre-Championship defence testing.
	9.50 Bike racer Andy Bird was looking strong.		We didn't get a name check for this racer but the paintjob was very nice indeed.
	Either VW Sportsman racer Paul Cox is a big guy or this car has a very short wheelbase!		Jet FC pilot Roger Goring was very pleased indeed with his weekend and this morning ran a 6.5 in Firestorm backing off before a thousand feet.
	Super Street Bike racer Nigel Barker ran as quick as 8.606 today.		Jerry Collier was also testing again today and ran mid-nines on George Laycock's Supertwin Gas bike.
	Junior Dragster racers Jordan Keelan and Joe Kellett were all concentration before a side-by-side pass.		Joe Kellett ran into the elevens which we think is a new PB.
	Dan Giles made a very successful first Junior Modified outing in the Gold RV Racing dragster usually driven by Arlo Reddick.		Zak Johnson's Junior Dragster has a new flywheel but his dad was confused because the car was running slower!
	Paired burnouts were the order of the day for Junior Drag Bike racers Tyler Clutterbuck and Jake Carruthers.		Jayne Kay ran into the mid-eights and looked right at home in her new Junior Modified Dragster.
	Pro ET racer Johnny Walker put in a couple of test runs.		The pairing lanes were very busy with a mixture of racers and RWYBers from the import and modified scenes.
