No matter how much I've drunk, I always make it back to room!
-
Good Moaning! Don't sleep well at the moment, too hot so switch AC on, noise and cold draught then too cold! Sleep very well on the beach mind. Kefalonia has has some serious earthquake periods so seeing wrecked or empty buildings and tourism isn't that good for them either! This end of the island is is two feet higher than previous years! Bell, Tanned, Praises.
-
Not opened the shutters! Tea on the side and the sound of waves! Be good y'all. Gym, Rat, Cliff
-
Morning All, another hot day here in Kefalonia! I'll be working hard at doing nothing! Be safe y'all! Teem, Lieder.
-
Got these at the AA Show and found them a decent addition to my shed!
-
Oh, by the way, obligatory airport beer photo!
-
First morning in Kefalonia, got doma shop and get familiar with the town before doing anything less serious for the day! First cup of Yorkshire 's finest! Dear, Road, Ear, Roedeer, Water, Shame!
-
That's me packed! I'm a sort of "chuff it! I'm packed!" Sort of bloke who packs on the basis of "If I forgot pants then I'll buy them locally!" Have plastic, will travel! I'll send you all a 'Spoons breakfast' picture later!
-
Not packed yet, rugby was epic, couple of pre match beers too. Best get up and sorted as taxi coming at 11:30¡ Be safe today! Chicory, Poke, Curry.
-
Just got to pay for it and save for the next one in Miami!
-
Morning Team. Packing for holiday and going to see Leicester Tigers v Sale this aft! Enjoy your weekend! Spays, Hoots.
-
Just took mine to do a quick shop, real quick. Bit of showing off but I don't care!
-
Morning Team, up and away, loads to get done but not enough time i bet! Rain here! Rows, Meryl, Leaves.
-
A top fuel goes from 0-100 in 60ft!
-
Race fuel at this level cannot be had at the pumps so 105-120Ron. Drain the fuel before going on the road as it burns too hot and is dear! Change to pump fuel for road but still dear and slightly different tune/timing, and ceack on for hundreds of street miles in a race car. He drove from Dallas to Miami last year for Sick Week and back after!
-
Not at the costs involved at this level of budget and income!
-
Imagine driving this 2000hp from Pod to York via Skegness in the rain and back via Derby. Checking valve lash in a laybye on the way back! This caught fire as it crossed the line last bank holiday.
-
I think the rules to drag and drive are different, focusing on your individual times, road trip check ins and getting through the week! Street Weekend in the UK is similar but over a long weekend and not a week. Santa Pod then drive to York via set check ins, do a run, pack up and back to Pod via check points and run your best time there!

It was a bought unseen shed! Fixed often on the side of the road or carport of hotel or autoparts store! Foxbody Mustang with 4.6 V8. Fancy pistons, H section rods, wicked cam, big turbo, Holley fuel system which he wont outgrow, launch control and bump, heavy duty gearbox with racing torque converter through an LSD rear axle. Stripped bare of anything unnecessary and often slept in, hence the moniker "Napshack"! Race fuel on the strip and street fuel for road trip, getting some 12mpg cruising at 55 towing the trailer full of tools and spares. Last year at Rocky Mountain Race Week and Death Week, everything went in the car and was piled in a heap in the pits - except his phone, wallet and laptop to Race!
-
He will need a different level of scrutineering and alterations to the car, cage and safety, possibly parachute and an appropriate NHRA licence! As it is, I doubt it would pass an mot in the UK with no wipers and no demister, plus other stuff! I'll go as co driver next year if he leaves the car there!
-
Pork steaks, cauliflower cheese and chips!
-
Now done a 10.18 pass at 136! Got to be careful as anything under 10 is disqualification as you need an NHRA licence and the car has a different set of rules!
-
I'm up, too early again! Talking and driving sort of day! Rained in the night and is grey! Tom in the states tells me that they have been having some mega rain and thunder storms in Oklahoma. One place had a transport ban and all hotels etc got shut for the period and 6" of rain fell in a day! Be good y'all! Mirror, Cull.

Tom, my lad, is into drag racing and crews for Bad Apple Racing which has a 2000hp 57 Chevrolet. At Santa Pod the other weekend, that caught fire and, while salvaged, needs a chunk of work. Tom has a Foxbody Mustang in Dallas and is currently doing Mega Week, a drag and drive event. Living his dream! Messenger_creation_42E17CE7-9069-43C7-8291-CA29DE3194E5.mp4

Another Madras for my freezer! All to the tunes of The Blues Brothers!
