Shout out to Dave Tildesley for getting into the 11s at the Nats. After so many 12.1 and 12.2s great to see that 11.8 Sunday morning. I’ve taken lots of shots over the weekend. Got a mad work week ahead but when I get time I will post most on the forum and some on Fb, telling people to look here for more.

Well done Dave T

Re: Well done Dave T
Yes, great work Dave. I saw that 11 and almost couldnt believe it! 
And congrats to you too Simon, for picking up a trophy at the awards on Sunday afternoon
You could have been in contention for the long-distance award - if they had one, and if some others hadn't driven over from Belgium and Germany

Thanks Rob. Also great to see Jason win CA car off the show and thereby see another club car at the NEC.

Re: Well done Dave T
Thanks all.
I'd come to the event after Dragstalgia running a PB of 12.01. Knew the car had an 11 in it, in street trim, but thought the heat and head wind would put pay to attaining it at the NATS.
Low and behold a cool early Sunday elimination with a tail wind.
Red lit like an absolute plonker (twas not happy when I left the line...rookie error), so out in E1, but just like Dragstalgia last run of the weekend was the best.
Much appreciate the pics Simon. Was good to catch up with you and many others over the weekend.
Next year, slicks and no exhaust.......
