Yes, myself and Steve Thomas are driving up, watching the entries, Am hoping for 16 cars in both P/S and T/D.

Do I have enough room to use 400mm on start line, a bit tight from memory.

Yes, throw in a quick trip to Willowbank and you have five weekends of dragracing in a row, looking forward to it. :D

Yeah 16 car fields will be great, even though the drivers don't want them :)

Might be a bit tight for a 400, you'll be standing a fair way down the line :P I usually use the 70-200 from the line, means I can stand in a spot where I get the burnouts at 200 and the launch at 70 with ease.

Will have to keep an eye out for you!
