Decent turn out, not as busy as last year.
Only spotted one other TR7, in Retro Club area.
I managed a 13.47sec run @ 102mph into 20mph head wind on first run.
Second run managed to beat a TVR Cerbera by a full second.
Which was nice.
Cheers
Phil
P.S. Windy? Check out the flag in the top lefthand corner.
One for our friends "over the pond". [:)]

Hi John,
Me and the toilets? I may be going mad in my old age. [:o)] Or is it a weak bladder?
And i should have had the sun behind me for good photos. But the clouds are nice. [:)] I was in two minds about going because the weather forcast was appauling. That was my first run of the year on the strip and i nailed it, which is always a buzz. Then i needed the toilet and i had my camera with me. Yeah, not the best location in the world. Anyway, glad you enjoyed Billing, some good photos there.
Cheers
Phil

Might strip my old girl out and have a go at the "strip" next year !! I have always wanted to have a go at hill climbing, but drag racing may be my thing !!
