Anyone coming along to the Euro Finals this weekend, 5th-7th September, I'll be there crewing for Andy Robinsons Pro-Mod Camaro, if you are passing the pit, pop in and say hello, we are hoping to better our P.B of 6.15

I'll be there on Sunday with family - my 1st ever live drag event!

Any tips, hints or advice for the Newbie from you experienced chaps?

I don't think you will be running at that event Mike, though I may have got the wrong end of the stick with your post............

You need to pick a basic RWYB and I am sure one of the members will assist you.......

Sure, I know I won't be running. My question was actually looking for advice about attending and how to get the best out of the event as a spectator.

Sorry if I caused any confusion, when I said "live" I meant not on TV.

Really looking forward to seeing how a drag event works after years of going to road racing circuits.

Get there early if the weather's good or you'll get stuck in a que to get in , take some ear defenders and step into another world for a day.

Sod the ear defenders !
Turn up early. Pick a good view point ( I like just after start line )
Sit down and feel , smell , taste and watch the most powerful cars on planet earth.
Go home smiling for a week.

Ear defenders are for girls

If you ain't half deaf from the noise and half blind from the nitro, you may as well have watched it on telly

Our team is there with the Superbird again. We've fixed everything after a rod kicked out at the Nats but it's back together and up for hopefully it's first real full pass with the new setup.

We were planning to go but decided it's just a bit too close to due date- les than 4 weeks til Tamzin drops now

Working late tonight to free up tomorrow and taking two of my guys as a bonus for work, it's gonna be their first top fuel event so I can't wait to see their reaction

I was gonna take my car up the strip at lunch break for entertainment cos that's how long it takes me to make a pass

Also, as Ade says, good luck to Hans and the team

looking forward to it.

Those top fuelers might break her waters.

I was nearly born on the way to the pod in a Mini Cooper !!!
Thankfully my parents got back to hospital in time.
