Event Coverage

2006 FIA European Finals
Run What You Brung

	Jon Webster re-entacts one of Friday night's rolling burnouts in Wellingborough High Street.		How low is Danny Cockerill's Pro Mod? Pretty damn low!
	John Spuffard clocked a splendid 5.392/260.06 in the Showtime Fuel FC, on a soft set-up and shut off at 1200 feet as the finish line reflectors loomed.		This vintage bike sounded as if it was running a light Nitro load.
	Nick Moore had his hands full as the boost came in on the Super Street Bike, but he clocked a PB of 8.380.		Dave Holland got back on his old Super Street Bike in preparation for the Brighton Speed Trials. It was like he had never been away...
	Some precision adjustment was obviously required on SPRC's Junior Dragster!		Wilf Stacey ran a best of 9.298/144.65 but his reaction times came on a calendar not a timing slip.
	Regular RWYBer Jim Beck was testing his Super Steet Bike, surprisingly equally regular partner-in-crime Phil Pratt was not running.		Ade Lockley turned up after lunch and ran nines in the stiff breeze.
	Gordon Smith staged pointing at the 330-foot reflectors, but went up in smoke at the hit of the throttle to the relief of the timing crew. The car launched fine on the next run.		It's on display, so we guess it's a Fast Car like the sign says.
	Dave Bryant praying that Gordon Smith didn't have a curry last night.		Stephen Moon took time off from working Dave Beck to oversee testing of his own bike.
	Gordon Appleton hit shake off the line, a door departed followed by an entire wheel and the Camaro spun into the guardrail...		...Gordon's left rear wheel appeared to have failed.
	Mark Fisher picked up where he left off at Hockenheim with a string of low eight-second passes		Lance Richards' Pro ET Capri makes regular appearances at RWYBs and was clocking RTs in the 0.0s.
	John Walden had Brian Pateman along to help out and ran a 10.119 with the gas on.		Danny Cockerill lost his best run of the day to an over-eager departure. No timing slip and we hear a holed piston.
	Roger Goring strapped in and ready to check out the Firestorm Jet FC. Roger ran a pair of very early shut-off sixes.		A very patient Wayne Nicholson finally got to show us his new Lucky Devil 'Vette and it was well worth the wait.
	This beautiful pair of Dodge Chargers made your Photo Editor go weak at the knees.		In the space of five hours this area went from empty pit space to a fully-built grandstand.
