Attached is the timing data for the Thunderball, there's a few new entries
for you.
Peter Beck has stepped up from Top Alcohol to Top Fuel. He's definitely one
to keep an eye on in the future; one of the best drivers in Europe with one
of the most professional and dedicated crews I've seen. The step up didn't
phase him at all; his licensing runs were spot on.
Smax Smith has stepped up from Top Alcohol to Fuel Funny Car and again looks
very comfortable with it.
Stephanie Millam has moved up from the sportsman classes (can’t
remember which) into Top Alcohol Funny Car. A nervy start but progressed
steadily through he weekend.
Martin Hill has a new Jet Car, Fireforce 2, which has a greatly increased
airflow and packs a hell of a punch, enough punch to have us seriously
concerned about the integrity of the control tower! He's still doing shake
down runs but will be letting it all hang out in the near future. Speaking
to him Sunday, he's very confident of running 5's. The plan is for Tony
Baker to take on the driving of Fireforce 1 as part of a two man team so
there's another new entry on the way. Note: on the timing data for
exhibition vehicles Martin is listed as JFC1, it should read JFC2.
Nothing else sticks in my mind, apart from oil downs, rain, power failure,
more rain, more oil downs etc. If I spot anything when I get a chance to
look more closely, I'll let you know.
