| Saturday was to be a test n' tune day, but it rained most of the day, on and off, and no runs took place apart from a couple of hovercraft!! Sunday started off wet, but had become drier during the day, and running started at 1:00 for treaded-tyred vehicles. At about quarter to 2, the marshals and officials asked if an experienced dragster driver running slick tyres would test the track to see what the traction was like. They asked Chris Hartnell and he was only too happy to volunteer. Chris did a burnout and launched, but found that there still was not much grip to be had due to the previous weather conditions, and backed off to a 12.4 second pass @ 81 mph. At the top end, the marshals asked Chris how it was, and there was a mutual decision not to run slick-tyred vehicles for the rest of the day. The other vehicles carried on, but the rain came back about half an hour later, and that was it for the day, and the season! | |
| Things did come right down to the wire this year, and even though no Wild Bunch cars ran, there were a few changes to the Top 10 in Wild Bunch Series. The Real Steel Series remained as it had been before this event, and below are how these two Series finished. We're now all looking forward to the 5th Annual Wild Bunch Prize Presentation evening on Saturday, 9th November at Drayton Manor, when we will be celebrating all our winners. Should be another great evening!! And then we will look forward to 2003!!! |
