well its good to share ;D
these are my pics from the NASC springnats held at drayton manor over the other weekend. thoroughly enjoyable event with some free 1/8 mile flag drags and sprint sessions round curborough I think I equalled the time set by the stiglets in the 300bhp skyline, but they were showboating (so was I ;D one hand drift0r ;D). sprint pics courtesy jonnysierra armed with my camera
anyway, I'll get to the pics, about 8 (give or take a few) to a post. 56k you will have meltdown in 5-4-3-...
