Don't you just love this picture.

Who's driving (clue - female)?

Where ?

(as an aid to guessing - the caption on the photo gives the answers

Very nice picture indeed. Do you have the matching audio file as well ? I would love to hear the sound of this thing.

This thing goes quite like stink, lovely. Sadly, I don't have sound here. Nice flames shooting out of the back, left, right, left, right...

You NEED to hear the sound (or rather, feel it)

Feel is the word - there isn't a sound system in the world that can do justice to a top fueller at full chat

Shakes your insides, so it does.

Are you a Santa Pod regular Steve?

Yes, as often as possible. I used to live down the road in Luton many years ago, but now it's more of a trek (or pilgrimage).

I try to make the world finals ever couple of years, but it always seems to clash with the Goodwood Revival and the Oliver's Mount Gold Cup weekends, so I have to alternate a bit. Was there last year though, for Kim Reymond's 4:64

Only a few short weeks until the new season starts....
Easter Thunderball and then the first big one of the year, The Main Event, first chance to see the fuelers used in anger.

I was at the Euro Finals when Kim ran the 4.64, don't forget that the terminal speed was 318mph!!.
There is an amazing shot taken of the car as it crossed the line, where you can clearly see that it is on three wheels.

Sadly Kim has retired from drag racing now so we won't see him do it again.

My pre season predictions are Carter or Kagerad for this year and Sheavills to make a triumphant return next year

Oh and Phil Toppin to win CC/SE

Sheavills not got a drive for 2004 then ?

At the moment it doesn't look like it, he took last year off to get the sponsorship together, but no anouncemet yet.
And besides that all of King Knut's cars are taken already and I don't think Rune has a spare.

PS: What happened to Roz, any idea?
