Will be interesting to watch, I am prob going to do 3-4 runs (hopefully) down quater and then just watch the rest of the night lol. Should be good fun though. Just remember as you come in you should see my car parked up to the right its a mercury silver ba xt, I will have my bonnet open . Park up next to me, when everyone rocks up - don't rock up later than 5:15pm :P so I can get some pictures hopefully camera works alright lol.

If you know how to launch a manual well and can shift extremely fast you could probably run a 14.00 in the right conditions. Normally there isn't a big difference between the two. The manual benefits from a shorter first gear ratio but the auto can upshift faster.
