Nice find John. Just watched that a couple of times, turbo charged 5.0ltr. V8 [8D].

And after watching that everyone, don't forget......
<center>23 of May
Standard Triumph Marque Day
Prescott Hill
Gotherington
Cheltenham
GL52 9RD</center>

I know the 23 of May is a while yet, but it's something to look forward to after all this terrible weather [:)].
It is a fantastic day out [:D].

I reckon a standard 3.5L 7 wouldn't be much slower on that course given the lack of grip. He could've tried a bit harder to warm his tyres although it would take a pretty lurid burnout to make much difference in 10 metres.

Not all drivers did so well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJYKqBizLH0 There's nothing like smashing up your baby in front of a big crowd. Hopefully I've at least learnt that lesson.

Then there are those that crash without being in the car.
