:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Still can't stop grinning. What a fantastic weekend.

Thanks Alan for suggesting it.
Thanks to the catering crew.
Thanks to everyone else for turning up.

Your ticket is worth a £16 refund for Saturday being rained off.
I think I'm going to go back for the 'Main Event' on Friday 22nd May :D :D

Photo's to follow later.

The FIA Main Event is well worth going for. I don't know how many Top Fuel and FunnyCars you had at the Easter meeting but at the Main Event there are absolutely loads, and from top European outfits as well. :wink:

Glad you enjoyed it. I would echo Kirsty - you really should do this if only once in a lifetime.

Got home a few hours ago, you shoulda stayed last night guys, went on til late again, loads of the top fuel & jet cars too 8)
Good photos so far guys, I'll get photos on sometime soon, but can't wait to see Pete's photos & vids - think he should get a job as race photographer :wink: . It was nearly empty in the pits & the camping area by midnight, unbelievable how quick they pack up :shock: nearly came home with a bunch of used dragster tyres that'd been left behind - but managed to supress the urge :lol:
Thanks again you guys, fantastic weekend, don't know if I'd have braved 3 days of cold wet weather waiting to see anything happening if you lot hadn't been there. Bongo peeps are bloody brill 8) :D
Off for a nice long soak in the bath now 8)
