A few of us would like congratulate Special Rik (Riksta) on his winning of the Encouragement Award at the AFF DRAG NATS!
Special Rik quote of the weekend "The quarter mile isn't as long as I expected''

Haha thanks everyone!
 I swear some people thought I was mad putting a bog stock Focus down the track, but I wanted to have a bit of fun legally, and figured why the hell not! I had an absolute ball, and hopefully I'll have next year off work to do it all again! And that VN posted above is definitely Horn!!! Also, I can FINALLY say I've won a trophy for my car - something I've never achieved before. Looks great on my shelf

Well done Rik now you just have to convert that talent to the scale electric at the Museum this year and win the trophy not the runners up medal

Once again, it really was a great weekend. Great to meet everyone (finally!) after four years of reading & posting on the forums here. I'm hoping like hell next year's date gets announced soon enough that I can book the time off work again, will be pretty devastated if work commitments kill my chance to beat Whoosha! :P

Didn't have any snags there mate, but I consumed a considerable amount of Donuts on the Saturday. Which is probably why I didn't get any faster than 17.08!!! haha. Those donuts were DAMN GOOD!

Well done rik, if you recall I did tell you your car would do a low 17..
I'm extremely jealous I couldn't come over but next year, I'll be there with you in what I'm sure will be a VN as you hurtle down the 1/4 in fine 19second time. Catch up soon mate give me a call!

Sorry to hear about your breakage though :( Stronger & faster for next year I'm guessing? I'll be putting up a fight for that Scalectrix title don't worry about that. I'll do what Flic & Brad did last year and buy a ticket in each round, that way I should almost be guaranteed a spot in the final!!! Quote:
You should bring yours over next year, as has been said (and proven!) doesn't matter what you're in or what time you run, as long as you have fun!!!Might get Riksta Racing Stickers made up for next year. Still haven't taken the stickers from this year off yet! For those wanting some pics, HP Heaven have theirs up: http://www.hpheaven.com.au/media.php...Images&gal=507 Including some of Ronny's, Lethal Leigh's, Oddnutz' and my car. Plus plenty of others! I'm thinking of ordering the DVD of their photos.
