The UK Cal Look DRAG DAY
Hey guys, not sure where to post this but I know a lot of you Au guys are hp freaks so thought you may get a kick out of some photos that I've just
had from event photographer Julian Hunt of the 1st Cal Look Drag Day we had over here in the UK earlier this year. They've taken a while to come
through as the mags get first pick....
Its also good timing as the there are a further two drag days this year in the UK, one at the end of this month at York raceway, and another the weeke
after, again at Santa Pod. If any of you guys happen to be holidaying over here you should come along!

Most cars shown here run 13's and some feel that this is a fairly 'safe' thing to do. But you are right, at the next Drag Day at York helmets are
COMPULSORY with all racers (and I always wear a lid anyway).
Thanks
Jamie

Matt The best person to speak to would be Alex Bruce. I don't have his contact to hand, but sure if you go on their blog:
http://www.jagerbug.com/
You'll get a messgae to him through there.
Thanks Reub - love your car btw!

Nice pics and nice cars. Hope they go as good as they look. Like the oval in the 3rd post in between the ghia and the orange beetle.
Also as I am a escort / capri nut, any pics of the red mk1 with pro649 on the window. My brother has a mk1 with a BDA head and quad throttle bodies
and would love to see it.
Thanks

Sorry turbo54 not got any more pics of the escort... the gold Oval you saw is a low 12's ET car. The turbo cars didn't have a very good day at the
pod I have to say! Mine blew up.... Poe in the white one struggled with low 13 passes (the car has run 10's) and Daz in the blue/navy blue
'Aircooled Performance' car had traction issues which sent him WAAAAY past the point of no return and bent his pushrods. Again a 10 second car. Now
the two turbo ghias - you know, I haven't a clue what they did? I'll find out. I don't know if you guys get VOlksworld out there? Write up is in
the latest issue.
Cheers
Jamie

Nice pics. I'm also quite partial to the orange Jagerbug, but that's probably because I had an orange 69 some years back. Would love to see more
pics if you have any.
