NATS 2012 review.

[MattH]

Looks like I'm first back.
Great weekend despite the working in between.
Good to see the regulars and put faces to names and have a chat.
Don't know who the winners were but Rogers Charger SE was stunning, Mickeys Aussie Charger Sportsman a real beaut, Tom's red 68 Charger a real nice peice of work.

Got some bits for the Chally - Thanks Duncan!

Mandie now NEEDS a Furious Fuchsia Challenger (new shape).

Top Fuel car - never seen one run, so most impressive, and painfully loud.

Must plan better for next year and get the whole weekend off.

Only down side apart from having to go to work?
Fairground in the middle of the show and shine. That was a right pain. Can it be removed for next year?

Jim, when will next year be?? I have assumed the same weekend and booked it already, so confirmation of the date would be great, it is the 20th event after all.
I even have £5 bet on my Chally being there, It was there for the 1st Nats, never since!

Well done to all the organisers and everyone taking part for a great weekend.

Thank you all.

Been home half an hour myself but you beat me to the post !!

Im knackered

[Les Szabo]

Yep, enjoyed myself on Sat, put some faces to names I got to know on here......thanks Blue for pointing the peeps out to me and introducing me.

some quick cars there...never got to see Mick run cos his starter motor gave up again but had a long chat....nice guy.

The Lucas Oils Top Fuel car was awesome with a 4.41 and a piston blowing 254mph....20yrs since I saw the last one run when they were running 5.2's.

Santa Pod dissapointing again in that they let at least 4 cars run in the left lane which were all over the place at about mid-track before they sprayed it, that was dangerous and very unprofessional.

A good day out though.

[LONGSHOT]

Just got back-absolutely knackered.
What a great weekend only spoiled by a bit of rain.
It's a great credit to all involved in organising it.
Thankyou to everyone who complimented me on the dart,
Well chuffed.
Managed to get down to 14.1 which was 1/2 a second better than last year.
made the last 7 weeks work worth it,
Cheers everyone !

Ps -don't mix speckled hen,guiness and Budweiser

Dave, I didn't manage to catch you but your Dart looked great, possibly my favourite A body of the weekend. I also really liked the 12 second sunburnt blue '68 Dart with the 360 in it, a real low buck terror. Had a really good weekend, it was great to hang out with friends old and new, Autofetish, if you're reading this, get some bloody sleep! I got there 8pm Thursday night, I can highly recommend the gate party

[MilesnMiles]

brilliant weekend, did 600+ miles in total without a hitch and even ran a couple of 13s reaching 108mph despite a 60' that was so slow that I could have walked the dog!
Great beers on both nights and nice to catch up with a bunch of folks including Ade, Justin, Simon, Fingers, Sam, EnglishPolara chappy and a bunch of the usual suspects.
Great event, great people, worth every penny. Thanks to all involved.
Ps
I liked Karma Heart, dodgy PA, but cracking set
PPS
That top fuel car damn nearly stopped my heart. Thundertastic

[Adrian Worman]

Bananarama! brilliant and gets better every year
Big thanks to Dave Robbo and Wayne for ferrying me around and feeding me, to Andy Rob and Ade Jones for the constantly flowing beer, same to Jon Connelly
Good to see every one of the regulars but a big up to Dunc, Bri and his lil gang, Morgan, Dave Longshot, Dave B, Wendy, Justin, Don Scott, Neil Dodge, Ivor.....well done , Martin, Rich, Budge, Miles, Pete and Julie, Mick....... .... I could go on forever!
Still got the buzz now
Not forgetting a massive thanks to the MMA board and very dedicated people like Matt, nice one

[Dave81]

Was a cracking Saturday for me!

Nice to finally meet some of the guys on here and talk cars in person!

Some truly stunning machinery on show. A lot more A bodies than i remember from last year.

Had a good chat to a few guys with Mopars, and found it quite interesting that they either had nothing to do with the MMA or hadn't been a member for years??

Thanks to the chaps that brought parts for me, and a special thanks to Chris 'Birdman' for tracking down some stuff after i'd had to leave!

[charger01]

Completley knackered. Started to drive home , hadn't even got out of the Pod & right when it was pi**ing down the drivers wiper arm fell off . Drove the next 2 hrs in heavy rain in the middle lane following the lights of the car in front got onto the m56 for the last 1.5 hrs of the trip & the sun came back out . Still the best gig of the year. Will post again after I've had a kip.

[Mossy68]

Fantastic !!!!!!!
Just want to say thanks to everyone
So good to finally put faces to names and a special thanks to those who went out of their way to find me and introduce yourselves !!!
You all made it a memorable time for me
Not forgetting Matt and the rest of the mma organisers. Great job

Very tired
Thanks again
Gary
