Left Sat afternoon to get to Pod for late afternoon, as it was a late nighter (9pm) so I though t we could avoid the majority of Pod traffic..

Got there to be greeted with snow!! Not heavy, just a small drizzle now and again.
Waited 1 hour 20 mins in the queue, in the dark and cold...

Got to the strip....

AWESOME start (not) just span, so backed off and eased it back to traction...
into 2nd span all the way, through third span!!!

WORST TIME EVER.... bearing in mind its a 2L 16v...

16.8!!! :lol: :oops:

So I thought, lets try that again... NO THEY CLOSED EARLY COS IT WAS TOO SLIPPERY!! 300zx CRASHED just before they did!!

Great day!

Luckily, I was against an Intergrale who was running 12s, so I didnt care that I lost!!

The fact I have standard suspension didnt help either! When I pull off the front almost comes off the ground!
