I’m at Shakespeare County Raceway for the USAutomotive Yanks Weekend and 35th annual Gary’s Picnic event

My planned coverage will feature end of day photographs (if the laptop works) and a short write up (if I haven’t drunk too much).

Keep checking back here over the weekendfor updates.
I will try and grab a few pit shots with the little camera to post later.

It was a very enjoyable and varied day here at Shakespeare County Raceway (Sat)

We had plenty of great looking American drag muscle in the form of the big hitting Gasser Circus and many others plus of course some more traditional American eye candy that always turn up at these events.

The meeting also has nice European entries with some lovely VW's and the very quick and wild Euro Top Gas bikes.

The wild bunch are also here in numbers and of course there are plenty of bikes because it's a round of the National Series 8.50/9.50 Bike.

If you looking for nice sunny and varied day out at the drags then take a trip to Shakey because theirs something here for everyone

Steve Goode has the wild nitro burning Wobble back on track

Didn't post any pictures last night as I came home late afternoon yesterday (Sunday) because I didn't feel very well all weekend and just run out of steam in the end.
I'll sort some more out later but I know Peter will have a load of good shots to post at some point.
