Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

well done Nic & Tom

Also I think that Jimster and Iain managed sub 14s times.

Best was Stuart Meads with a 10.1.

The rain held off all day, looked a bit grim at first, I live very close to Pod and it is lashing it down now!

A great day, missed the last 2 Avon Parks so was nice to see some old faces..

There was not that many cars running by normal pod standards so we were able to get lots of runs in.

I had a clutch release bearing disintegrate but an hours work put pay to that...

Fab day..
