We're here at Santa Pod for the Autotrader Easter Thunderball, the first round of the VWDRC 2008 championships and what a day!

After a bitterly cold night (in a borrowed van, thanks Mark!) we're go for day one! It's cold and blustery here but we've had some track action already, starting with a steady 16.28sec run at 84mph we seem to be down on top speed, although it is VERY windy, good news that the reactions don't seem to dulled by the cold with 0.03 light on this run.

We made an adjustment to the tyre pressures for the second run to see about improving on the 2.4sec 60ft time and scored a 2.2sec 60ft on the second run! Down to 16.05 for the second run, still at 84mph so we're getting closer to the 15's we're aiming for, still consistent on the light with a 0.08 this time.

Overall, a good start to what looks like being a great meeting :)

What's not so good is it's just started raining quite heavily so we're not sure we'll get any more track time today but we're making the best of the down time!
