Event Coverage

2007 Big Bang
Saturday (time trials)

	Richard Sawatzki has led 9.50 Bike qualifying since session 1, a mere two thousandths off index.		Richard Hann wanted a picture with his sponsors' names clearly visible - the full-sized version of this one should do, Richard.
	Similarly to Richard Sawatzki, Lee Baxter has held on to #2 spot since the first session.		Dave Burfitt ran alongside son Andy in session three and bumped him out of the top five, taking #3 spot.
	This car is covered in contingency sponsor stickers and so looks like a race car but was in Run What You Brung today.		This car last saw action in Outlaw Flat Four but was in RWYB today in the hands of its new owner.
	The Spooky VW Club are regular VW event supporters.		You know that Real Steel Street Eliminator racer Ron Haslett is going to win this match-up.
	Colin Lazenby was quickest of the day in Real Steel Street Eliminator time trials. The Team '56 Chevy started the day in the 8.7s and ended the day in the 8.4s.		Jerry Charles ended the day third quickest RSSE time trialler with an 8.7.
	This is Mark Perkins' first outing in his RSSE Mustang and he completed his licencing with a 10.0-second pass.		Phil Norman runs in VW Sportsman with this very pretty pick-up.
	Simon Bailey completed his licencing with a 9.12 pass in this VW Pro dragster, ably assisted by former owners Keith and Paul Jackson.		Mark Pointer was quickest in Outlaw Anglia time trials even though the van tried to use both lanes at once. The Hooligan clocked a 7.6 in RWYB this afternoon.
	Ray Guy groping his way back through his own fog in Outlaw Anglia time trials.		Andy Chilton got air under the front wheels of his Rover Super Mod.
	Strictly these pirates have too many legs between them, but they won a race to push a VW Beetle to the eighth-mile.		A bit like Spot The Ball but in this case use your skill and judgement to place an X where you think Rob Smallworth's hood scoop is.
	Martin Charles' new gearbox, built by class sponsor Bears, seemed to be working pretty well in today's VW Pro time trials.		Peter Christie got to Santa Pod from Algeria via Carnoustie. Dodgy SatNav?
	Doug Ripley has started the new paint job on Laurie Craig's VW Alternate Engine FC and will complete it after this event.		Three runs including a Maltese Sixty Foot first pass and Paul Marston already has his Calibra into the 8.4s.
	Phil Pratt focusing before a 9.50 Bike qualifying session.		Ian Huggan broke out by nearly a second in one VW Alternate Engine time trial, changed his dial-in, and then broke out of that one too.
	This is Jason Aldred's first outing in his new 2332 turbo and EFI'd VW Pro Buggy. Check out the Pro Mod rear deck.		Jon Webster took time out from helping others to fog out the start line in Real Steel Street Eliminator time trials.
	A big Hello and Get Well Soon to Steve Nash's car partner Mick who put his back out yesterday.		Tim Garlick was the quickest in Super Modified time trials with a Personal best in the 7.6s.
	Super Modified racer Nigel Payne is looking forward to welcoming a representative of sponsor West-Tec tomorrow.		Martin Hill may well be the first person in history to pedal a Jet FC, the flame went off and on again after this fireball at half track.
